    Put on a set of E13 155mm cranks a while back (the ~$90 version). Hip preservation mitigation primarily. Easy to spin up and makes you shift a bit more frequently but rock strikes are way down and you can get a bit more drop on the seatpost if needed. Like them so far.

    Confirm that the lock ring/chainring/cranks are all tight?

    Interesting idea and I am sure it would work. Just need to lash down the plug. Good thought.

    Nope- the RE takes priority on the drain side and the main battery gets preference on the charge side. The whole 150% thing is a struggle for me as I find myself trying to convert all the time. 100% is just 66% effectively at the changeover. Garmin Connect does not care for it either.

    No had the chance to drain the range extender several times. The changeover is not great but probably just the way it does business. At full charge on both main and RE the display reads 150%. At about 105% the display starts flashing the green status bar. When you get to 100% its seems to...

    I did not consider a full shut down at the time. Control/Alt/Delete is good advice almost all the time.

    Yesterday was the first ride to completely rinse the range extender. 10 miles up 2100', then back down the same way. In 70% ECO and 30% Trail I got 1500' of vert and 7 miles before the change over. I was in Trail at the time and the power cuts off for a few seconds before coming back on the...

    Interesting- on my Shimano Steps motor if you were loading the pedals during boot up it threw a code. On the TQ I have tried all kinds of scenarios and it seems to not care.

    A theory. Recently had a new noise start. Turns out it was in a single gear on the cassette. It was the one where it goes to single cogs. The lock ring was not as tight as it should be. Took everything off, cleaned it and re tightened and has seemed to go away

    I put on a Fox Factory 38 with 160mm- that is a very nice upgrade from the 36 on the 9.7. As for battery, I am just a hair lighter than you. There is wide opinion on range and use. I ride a bunch in ECO, some in Trail, and rarely in Boost. In the lower setting you can go a long way if you...

    Fuel EXe Trek fuel exe range extender battery availability?

    For years I was wondering why the auto makers just didn't have a series of $$$$ LED's on the dash for the check engine lights. Oil change gets a $, blown tranny $$$$. Same scheme for the battery indication the EXe?
