It's definitely the motor, resistance is there with the chain removed. Pedals forward great. @njatherton, I'll check the crankarms. @Mteam, picked it up thursday and just had 3 great days of riding on it, so yeah I think I'll just roll with it....

I’ve gotten my EXe back with the motor replaced. New motor has quite a bit of resistance when back-pedaling, anyone else experienced this? It’s fine when pedaling forward, working well otherwise.

Good call on that Reeb! I picked up a Steezl and have been loving it.

Can't check at the moment, but my sense is.... not a lot. I've had the bike since Oct '22 and it's been ridden 2-3x week for most of that. Most all my rides tend to be 2500-3500' in <20 miles. I'm guessing around 1000 miles and 200k' total. I've gone through 2 shocks, a rim and lots of tires in...

Sunday I was 1k' into a steep climb when my motor failed. Even in walk-mode, it sounded kind of like an impact driver and was providing no assist. I assume it was a clutch of some sort. The bike pedaled fine with the motor turned off, so I was able to pedal/push the remainder of the climb and...

I removed the display from my top tube & stuffed some upholstery foam blocks from my local hardware store into the void. This pressed all the cables against the insides of the frame- $5 and too :05. My rattle ended up being a OneUp seatpost- new key bushings fixed it.

Same here, also electrical tape over the seams between display & top tube (invisible on a black bike) PNW Wet riding and weekly hose-offs all last winter, no issues....

TLDR: "Bikes are fun!"

Yeah, we have very different use cases. Most rides we do hit 2500' within in the first 10 miles. My fave winter loop is 2k' in 6 miles. Plus wetter conditions etc. Finding I need to service rear suspension every 6 months. My Fuel was down for 3 months in the fall due to blown shocks & wheels...

@Dave_B thats not too bad but I would guess you have some excess fluid in the air can that’s preventing that last bit of travel. If you’re inclined I would look into removing the travel spacer to see if you can get 62.5 or 65mm stroke. You’ll want to make sure the reservoir doesn’t hit the...

@Dave_B have you tried letting all the air out of the shock and compressing the suspension? That might tell you if there’s something amiss with the shock itself. I suspect there is if you’re running 18mm of sag (30%)

Mine's been problem free recently, but I did start cleaning and applying lock-tite to both the lock-ring and crank arm bolts.

I'm surprised the Levo SL seems to have more range/support, I wonder if that could be down to the rider weight differences. Some reviews have said it was under-powered compared to the trek. I rode a fair bit last year with a friend who has a Relay, typically big days. He definitely gets more...

That's a good question. I recall my Ohlins came with the Igus bushings like Fox uses, I had to swap those for a bronze DU bushing like RS uses for the shock hardware to fit correctly. I think my Ohlins was a new take-off so I'm not sure if they typically deliver with those Igus bushings.

I rode most of last year on a 205x62.5mm TTx1. Pros: Reservoir clears downtube regardless of stroke much lighter than coil and pretty dang close in feel Nice supple feel off the top- much better than the stock RS super deluxe select + Easy to tune spring curve with volume spacers and...
