    2022 Powerplay with SRAM AXS T-Type derailleur

    Hi everyone - as the 2022+ models have a UDH hanger, has anyone tried the new T-Type AXS rear derailleurs? I was about to pull the trigger on the traditional hanger mounting GX AXS rear derailleur, but realised that I have a UDH hanger which I should be able to remove and direct mount a T-type...

    2022 RM Altitude Powerplay Shock Mount Hardware Sizing

    I'm planning on installing my Cane Creek Kitsuma Coil shock on my Powerplay. I've measured the existing shock hardware to be 40mm wide at the linkage end and 25mm at the other end. Is there any issue just installing standard 40mm x 8mm shock mounting hardware instead of the stock bearing...

    2022 Rocky Mountain Powerplay Rear Hydraulic Brake Change

    I'm about to receive my 2022 RM Altitude Powerplay A50 after waiting over 12 months! I have a brand new set of Shimano Saint brakes sitting in the workshop and was thinking of swapping out the stock Deore 4 pot brakes straight away. Has anyone swapped out their brakes yet, if so, how difficult...

    YT Decoy Reach?

    Hi Decoy owners I'm considering a Decoy MX as my next ebike, but noticed from the geo charts that the Large has a reach of just 446mm. I'm 6'0" height and like longer bikes, so does this mean I should be going for a XL? Even the XL reach at 469mm seems a bit tight compared to other brands...

    32 tooth chainring with Shimano SM-CDE80 Chainguide?

    I'm about to swap over to a new drivetrain and wanted to go from a 34t to 32t front chainring, and go back to 11sp 11-42t cassette from a 12 speed set-up. I just realised that the Shimano chainguide has 2 fixed positions only for 34t and 38t rings. Anyone running with a 32t ring with the...

    Shimano E8000 recommended service interval?

    Hi Everyone Just wondering after how many kilometres my Shimano E8000 motor should go in for a service? Anyone know where to get the motors serviced anywhere in Australia? I've got a Commencal Metapower, so I doubt Commencal Australia have the capability of servicing them. Thanks Chris

    Shimano STEPs and Garmin Forerunner 935

    I've noticed that when I start a ride that I get a notification on my Garmin Forerunner 935 watch that it has synced with with my Shimano STEPs motor. But I can't see any way on my Garmin 935 of viewing any of the same stats as my Shimano display, or anything remotely related to by eBike. Has...

    Replacement drive train - opinions please!

    After 6 months, I'm almost ready to replace the SRAM Eagle NX 12 speed drivetrain that came stock on my '19 Commencal Metapower. During this time I've snagged the derailleur on a branch (also destroying my rear wheel) and seem to catch a lot of trail debris in the long cage derailleur quite...

    Front Chainring/Rear Cog Size in Etube software

    I'm thinking of going back to 10 speed from 12 speed Eagle when I replace my worn drivetrain. At the same time I was going to replace the front chainring to be 32t instead of 34t. I've seen in the Shimano Etube software that there are settings to change the chainring size and the smallest rear...

    Metapower Aftermarket Bashguard?

    Anyone found an aftermarket motor/downtube bashguard for the Metapower? My original one (a 2019 v2 type) is starting to wear out, so hoping there might be a Rockguardz or similar aftermarket version now available. My quick search online didn't find anything. Thanks DrChris

    Meta Power 29er vs 27 - Opinions Please!

    Hi Everyone Ebike newbie here, but have seriously ridden mechanical bikes for 20 years or so. It's now time to step up the fun and get an Ebike. I really like the look of the Meta Power, but can't decide between the 29 and 27. I've ridden 29 and 27.5 bikes over the years, and like the...
