Go into the shimano etune app and set all assist and everything else to a stock number. ST and Etube are not friends and need a common place to start to "play" from. I hope that works.

You got a deal...... Fazua and related components can be dealt with through them. Decoy MX/29 have to deal with a proprietary battery/cable and charger. A lot of the hardware can be made by a good machine shop. You just have to have a good sample and be ok with paying $75 for one pivot bolt

Interesting. If they had capitalized on the "freak out" time, they could have put high demand parts (batteries, chargers, pivots, 801 cable harness) up and made $0.70 on the dollar. Maybe even more. Would I have jump on a $120 charger 3 weeks ago??? fuckYeah!!! it was only $90 at the Mill...

After hard pounding 7200 miles (11,600 for the km guys) my bearing on my e8000 died on my YT Decoy. I decided to replace instead of repair since I cannot find anyone in the US to do it. While it took a while for Shimano to get a motor to the shop, I recd a new e8000. The shop did the motor...

I'd believe Steve. Every time I have called or emailed them, they give great advice and are willing to help.

You already pay a premium for Spec and now you have to pay an additional premium if you want to go coil. My "light" ebike is going to be an Orbea.

go with #1 (Sunrace) don't to #5. The shimano 11-46 has too big a jump from 37 to 46

You have to choose if it's worth the risk to your rim. I personally don't like to have my ride ruined. So, I carry the spares. You can strap the tube to your frame if you don't want to carry it. Specialized has the SWAT set up for the tube,CO2 and levers if you want to go that way.

While your motor may sound fine, they may see something that is a known issue. I'd take them up on the motor if the install time is short. Hopefully you'll get the updated motor without issues.

Yeah, it's out of date so much it would be like showing up to the trail with rim brakes. I will help. I give you half of what you paid and I'll cover shipping. :)

Put a layer of plummers pipe dope (not the putty) or wrap the taper washer with a little bit of plumers teflon tape. This technique works great to remove creaks from the BB area of bikes.

I have ridden mine to a stop when I got a branch through my tire before a rock garden. I was able to stop and get to a flat spot. Riding with no air was painfully slow. It will likely ruin the tire too. The tread will be stretched in weird ways. Instead of riding out, carry a tube and a...

One of these days I will try this 2.6 fun, but I don't know how the bike will handle in the high geo positon. I like the low. Easy to manual, jumping, and just ripping through a rocky line going straight and letting off the brakes.

Here's mine: 30.5 miles and 5147 ft on the ascent. This did require continual battery management and smart use of the motor. There really was very little that needed boost mode. Eco mode was set to high Trail mode was set to low with torque limited to 50 nm. Boost mode was set to low with...

About ride wrap. How did they handle the weld bumps in seat and chain stays? I can't really tell by the pics and RideWrap seems to be ignoring my info requests.
