I always take out the battery to charge it inside my appartment. Only once fell off whilst riding because I didn't hook it back correctly. You have to properly secure it in place making sure the main hook gets attached.

Yep ditched the 35. Went to my local trail today, I felt so rusty. Never the less, instantly felt a massive improvement with the new fork.

It’s been a while, tomorrow I’ll go to my local trail after a few months (around 7). Just finished setting up a new suspension to my E1: Zeb Ultimate 170mm, looks great, hope it feel awesome.

Ok got the Magura’s tested and they work amazing. Even having 2 pots rear + 4 pots front, still feels better than Shimano’s budget 4 pots rear + front. Next I’ll be upgrading front rotor to 220, I’ll kee rear with 203 (I’ve read somewhere 220 at the rear gives problems). I also got a Wolf...

Thanks @Pezzar, I had the Magura MT Sport on my old Specialized Enduro bike and they are fairly new, so no cost at all. I'm almost certain they are better than E1 stock ones: Shimano MT420. Hope I'm not wrong, waiting for the weekend to test them.

Anyone had disc rotors and/or brakes upgrades? I just installed the Magura MT Trail Sport brakes on my E1 and kept the default Shimano disc rotors (both 203mm). Haven’t tried the bike yet. I was wondering how to match new disc rotors? Got confused at Shimano’s website looking for components...

Many thanks, I’ll look into them. I’m based in Peru, so I’ll also look into similar company in the US. It’s easier to get from there.

Hey @pete-E1 how’s it going? Can you tell me where to buy a progressive spring 450lbs?

Thanks for all the feedback. Good to know about all coils bottoming out, maybe I'll go to 450 also and give it a try. About the suspension, I'll start with the 2 tokens and work my way up to change it in the mid future. You are right in stating that when pushing hard on the Rockshox Gold 35...

Thanks Pete. I got the L size with 400lb coil, which I bottom a few time jumps; you can check my TT account were I post videos in my local trails: TikTok de Samir Rifai (@samirrifaia) | Mira los últimos videos de Samir Rifai en TikTok Excellent tip on the rear tire, actually both of them...

Hi everyone, I got the E1 a few months ago in Peru. Just put around 600km on it and already feeling the coil and suspension bottoming out in my local trail jumps. Any recommendations without breaking the bank? On the other hand, my rear derailleur is jumping gears like crazy and the main bolt...
