    Replacing Acros Blocklock on YT Decoy w/Taller Lower Headset "Cup" SOLVED

    Thanks. So to follow up on this… remove the acros lower headset cup that is pressed in, and this niner cup just sits in the frame and then add a bearing that sits in this cup similar to an IS style headset?

    Replacing Acros Blocklock on YT Decoy w/Taller Lower Headset "Cup" SOLVED

    Thanks for mentioning the niner headset lower cup extender/spacer. Sorry for the silly question, but does it come with the bearing pressed in or do I need to source a 52mm or whatever bearing for the lower cup? Thanks!

    Damn. Might have to add some loctite to this then.

    Not who you asked, but I had bought a Heckler SL frame and built it up and rode it for a month. It was a great bike, I really do like the Fazua motor and the 450w turbo boost and low cadence assist - felt pretty natural. Bike was fun. I ended up selling my build for what I bought it for, mainly...

    Yup it’s that round rubber cover on the crank that covers the lockring to the motor. It’s flexible you can pull it back and oil it or remove the crank and do the same.

    I was getting a very loud squeal when back pedaling or just stop pedal to level pedals and it turned out to be the e13 crank boot on the drive side. Grease helped this and eventually I’ve replaced the cranks to 145mm PINND altogether which do not have a rubber protector over the lockring. While...

    My thoughts on Bosch SX Motor

    I believe 60nm is going to be an update along with 400% support vs 340% or something it offers now. Makes it a very interesting bike to me if it can do that.

    Fuel+ LX 9.9 XO or Yeti MTe T3 or Levo SL Expert gen 2?

    I would not go for the SL gen2 given when the TQ HPR60 bikes offer in both efficiency and battery size. You can get a 580w battery and it’s 15% more efficient than the HPR50 with more torque and higher max watt at 350w. Everything I’ve read on the HPR60 has been positive and it’s even quieter...

    I have my Float X stroked to 152mm travel on medium frame (mulleted in high position). What size frame is your bike? I'm thinking of getting an X2 and doing the same.

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Sorry didn’t mean it for it to be off topic. Reason I asked is because there were EXe specific things I never considered before due to it being an e-bike and having some known issues like the cranks coming off. I mentioned crank puller thingy and blue sleeve since others said they bring those...

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Hey all, since it was briefly mentioned before regarding a day pack of tools and things to have with you when riding further from the local trails, I wanted to get some input on what I should have with me in the truck if I’m doing a longer day trip. For example a 3 hour drive to trail head type...

    Trek Rail - Carbon Frame Crash Damage

    Have a somewhat related issue on my Fuel EXe that was not due to crash, but simply trying to torque down the UDH hanger to 25nm. The UDH ended up rotating through the carbon stopper that the hanger usually rests up against. Crushed the carbon stopper. Trek replaced the seat stay and the Trek...

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    It was seated against that stopper. I just began torquing down slowly (left-handed) and the UDH ended up pushing through the carbon stop (think counter clockwise movement like the left handed thread) before the torque wrench hit the 25nm. I immediately stopped when I saw the UDH move, but it was...

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Just a PSA regarding the Sram UDH stop on the seat stay of the carbon frames - this part is very fragile. The UDH says 25nm torque, but I would not suggest that much. Enough where it doesn’t move and maybe hold the udh with your hand while torquing hand tight. The reason I say that is because I...

    Sorry if you already answered this but when did you purchase your bike or is there a way to find mfg date? I should probably check mine but I don’t think I have any noise down there.

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    I finally had a day to drive to Trek (corporate owned/bought out store). I had scheduled an “on the spot” firmware update over the phone the day before. I had not had any updates since purchasing my bike on 11/30/2022 so I figured why not. It took half an hour and they tried to charge me $36.xx...
