    Yea I stopped carrying tubes a few years ago, I found if I have strong tires I don't need them and them also started running inserts as well on the E2.. I ride alot of rocky trails in the Pacific north west so I did switch out the stock maxxis tires for Michelin ewids cause I found the casing a...

    If you have the fidlock 450 you can squeeze a tube into the front triangle infront of the bottle.. or if your tubeless just get some automotive tire plugs and shove them in the oneup storage compartment and ditch the tubes.. they are usually black and much thicker than the brown bacon strips at...

    I had to take the shock off for service on my e 2 and tested full travel to see what I can place in which position and that upper tube placment is gonna rub the fender into the wheel and will prevent the bike from using full rear wheel travel, losing probably 1-2 inches of 6.. also I found...

    Received it last week and have put 130km on it, added cushcore front and rear, and swapped the dropper post. The bike is an absolute blast, climbs everything I've tried on the north shore on all 3 local mountains without any issue, stuff I could only hike a bike was now easily rideable. Descends...

    2021 Marin Alpine Trail EMTB released

    Ordered in May got it in September.. only major change is I swapped the dropper because I had a 180 from my old bike.. love how low you can smash the seatpost in.. fidlock bottles fit perfectly, regular bottle cage will be a tight squeeze..
