I bought some BBB core caps as I am sick of presta valves, in particular the cores bending / binding They simply screw on to the presta valve body and you then use a schrader pump to inflate the tyre Seem to work well so far.

Gearbox

That's one of the reasons why I converted to a coil shock - no more faffing about with air

I run Michelin E-wild front and rear on my Jam2. I will never run Maxxis again after blowing out 3 sidewalls at the bead on 2 separate bikes. I can't fault the Michelins.

Had this happen on two separate occasions on my Focus Jam2 as well as once on my Commencal Clash. My Vittoria tyre liner allowed me to ride on. I am now running Michelin E-wild tyres and won't be going back to Maxxis any time soon

This happened shortly after a service and was rectified at no charge.

I love my 2020 Jam2 which I have modified to suit my riding style

Don't need five when one will suffice - Nicolai Saturn 16 MGU.

I have a Cane Creek progressive 500-610lb coil on the Focus Jam2

I put a coil in my Focus Jam2 - a conversion that Focus said couldn't be done. It required some modifications to fit, but it's the best thing that I have done and I won't be going back to air shocks.

I am very happy with my E-Wilds (27.5x2.8) after having 2 DHR-II fail at the bead when they got to 2/3 worn, these tyres have been great and perform very well in all conditions

Eco - what's that, my bike only lives in EMTB mode

I mostly run with the clutch in the off position and have never had issues with dropping the chain. My cassette and chainring are now 2800 klms old and I replaced the chain at 2500 klm.

More ebikes with gearboxes

That will depend on the spring rate used in relation to the weight of the rider. My setup works well in all instances
