    Display unit on new Merida EP8

    Whoa! is that a thing? No I have not, nor did I remove it from my 2020 model. Why?

    Display unit on new Merida EP8

    Thanks again Gordon. I have the SC-EM8000. My local 99 Bikes shop confirm what you say, so the problem should be solved soon. I cant imagine I'll be the only one going down this path of opting for the bigger coloured display rather than the tiny black and white version. Cheers,

    Display unit on new Merida EP8

    You know your stuff Gordon. The SC-EM8000 is apparently compatible with any EP8 bike, so I now have one and gave back the B&W unit. But the cable plugs from the new power switch do not fit. Dont suppose you know the part name or code for the adaptors?

    Display unit on new Merida EP8

    I just got the eOne Sixty 8000 Carbon frame with EP8 motor. The standard display is smaller and in B&W; but you can get the bigger one in colour called the SC-EM8000 which looks identical to last years eOne Sixty but which is not compatible with the new EP8 motor.

    Display unit on new Merida EP8

    If your eyesight ain’t great you won’t like the stupid tiny B & W display unit on the new Merida eOne Sixty EP8. In daylight, for me, it’s like having black tape across the screen. Even in low light I can’t see the power assist font. Shimano seems too quiet about the option of the bigger...

    Merida 2021 eOne Sixty 8000 EP8 Carbon

    Its called the Thule Pack 'n Rack, and the side frames are also by Thule. Great for keeping panniers off the wheels.

    Merida 2021 eOne Sixty 8000 EP8 Carbon

    The bottom stay is bolted, the top stay has an open yoke connector so it can move independently.

    Merida 2021 eOne Sixty 8000 EP8 Carbon

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Merida 2021 eOne Sixty Carbon 8000 EP8. This is my third eOne Sixty so I have a baseline for comparison. It’s not just a motor upgrade but completely new power curve ergonomics. The motor is quiet and torque response smooth and proportionate to pedal load. Less gear and power...

    Reversing a mullet

    For what its worth, I had the mullet in the 2020 eOne Sixty and always felt it had an over-sized front end with heavy steering. Now that I have a 27.5 the bike feels more in scale and the steering organically precise. I like it and will not go back to a mullet...but then again I'm not a...

    Reversing a mullet

    Very interesting Gordon; must take a closer look. I wonder if there are any warranty issues replacing Shimano with Sram.

    Reversing a mullet

    Thanks Gordon; have advised off that idea because apparently the Sram version is power hungry and expensive. Have you experienced otherwise?

    Reversing a mullet

    For those interested in the two queries I raised, I now have my 2021 eOne Sixty EP8 and can answer them myself. First, the Di2 is available only as an 11 speed and fitting it to an eOne Sixty would require a rebuild. Not worth it; Shimano will releae a 12 speed over the next year or so, and it...

    New Merida SC-E7000 Display Unit

    Just got my 2021 Merida eOne Sixty EP8 and had my first ride at 45kms. This bike has not just been upgraded but it has a completely different power curve and is much more power efficient. But there is one component that is very disappointing for a premium bike: the SC-E700 Display Unit has been...
