    2023 WILD Coil compatibility

    A friend of mine has an EXT storia mounted in an H10 size M, so it should be ok. Anyone knows if a Marzocchi Bomber CR fits in a size M?

    2024 Strive:ON

    That's the speed sensor. Don't take it out or the bike won't work 😊

    Does anyone know if you can fit a Fox Transfer post with 175mm travel in a medium size Sam2?

    Toughest enduro wheel (rear)

    Just buy the DT Swiss FR1950 wheel. It's one of the strongest wheels on the market

    In real life how long before we need a new battery?

    My Shimano BT-E8010 battery was acting strange. It gave me lower range than usual on a couple of rides and when I started riding it lost the first bar right away. Then once I charged overnight and it didn't reach it's full capacity. I was thinking about buying a new battery when I decided to...

    2021 Focus Sam2 Review

    Thank you Steve. Most reviews say you don't really notice the excess weight while riding, but I haven't been able to test a bike and it's a lot of money to risk getting a bike that I might dislike.

    2021 Focus Sam2 Review

    I'm considering a Sam2 6.9, but the announced 26kg weight is freaking me out. My current Commençal Meta Power weighs 23,8Kg and that's with pedals, Double Down tires and a Cushcore in the back. Can anyone share the experience of changing their ebike to a model that weighs 2kg more? I love...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    probably the connectors between the battery and the battery holder. After I got my new motor I still got a couple of E010 errors, but preceded by the error E020 which means there are connections problems between the battery and motor. I got one of these and it's one of the best investments I...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    Contact Commençal. My motor was 3 months past the warranty when I started having the same problems and they still sent me a new motor. Great customer service.

    New motor protector available for Meta Power

    I finished it, but aesthetically it didn't look that great, so I kept it aside in case I broke the original one, which never happened. It's been 3 years of hard riding and it's still in one piece and looking a lot better than my cranks

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    In my case, I contacted Commençal and their After Sales Service is simply fantastic. They organized a pick up of my motor through DHL and a week later they sent me a brand new motor.

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    Thanks for that information robbydobs. I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to solve the problem myself. I've tried cleaning the contacts of the battery and battery mount before every ride and the next step will be take out and check the battery mounts and cables and to retighten everything...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    In my case, the bike is a Commençal, but no, I haven't contacted them as my bike is past the two year warranty and I'm still trying to fix this myself. I have a friend with another Commençal who has the same problem. His bike is still within the warranty period and Commençal sent him a DHL label...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    No. I'm now regularly cleaning the contacts in the battery and in the battery support with Isopropyl alcohol. Sometimes I can do a whole 2 hour ride without any errors. Other times I start getting errors after riding for about an hour. I turn the power off and turn it back on and the error goes...

    Shimano e8000 E10 Error

    My 2018 Meta Power started giving the E010 error code a couple of weeks ago. I cleaned all the connections from the battery to the motor and it went ok for a couple of rides. Yesterday, after riding for about an hour I started getting the E010 error again several times. The funny thing is that...

    Is there a trend towards narrower rims and tyres?

    I'm thinking about buying new wheels for my ebike as my current rims have taken a lot of punishment (even with cushcores installed). I've been looking for new 27.5 wheels with 35mm internal width, as it's what I'm riding now, and strangely enough there's almost nothing available online. Mostly...

    Tubless issues with Cushcore

    I always add the sealant through the valve, but that's a good suggestion. I'll add a bit more sealant and slosh the wheel with the tire deflated to try and get the sealant between the cushcore and the rim and tire sidewalls.

    Tubless issues with Cushcore

    I've been having the same issue. My rear tire was loosing air fast, so I placed it underwater just to discover that the sidewalls were leaking like crazy (that's a Maxxis Agressor Double down). I bought a new tire, installed it with the cushcore and sealant and found that the tire was loosing...

    Cassettes & Chains, a greater e-bike consumable than brake pads and tyres?

    I'm on my first EX1 cassette and third EX1 chain with 1940 km. I keep wondering what I will do when the cassette finally wears out, but I'm always following the EX1 cassette prices online. It's of course cheaper to change to an 11 or 12 speed groupset, but I really like the EX1 shifting and the...

    Commencal Meta Power Race Fox!

    I finally took the plunge and bought a Marzocchi Bomber CR to replace the Fox DPX2: Couldn't be happier. Already sold the DPX2 :p
