I pull the motor entirely out of the frame and do the maintenance on the bench. Actually have my GF's motor out currently. She's doing a custom wrap on the frame and installing the in line speed deregulator upon reinstall. Interested to see how that works out. Yes, replaced my rear brake...

I'm not sure about the tools for chainring. You can pull the cranks with an 8MM. Looked like the bash ring and chainring come off with a BB tool. If you visit Transition Bikes support page, navigate to bikes, choose your Relay, you'll find torque settings. But I don't think the chainring...

If you find yourself doing some routine maintenance, you may wanna pull out the chainring bolts, re-loctite them and re-torque them. I've had mine come loose a few times. Actually lost a few. TR was nice enough to send me those bolts, an entire linkage hardware set and some swag free of charge.

I've tested the bash ring pretty thoughtly. LoL. It's held up. Definitely would have had to change the chainring if it weren't there.

Guess I'm one of the few who hasn't had issues or has figured out what they are and mitigated them. Best bike I've ever ridden. I mean, no ebike is without issues. When they first started getting popular, my local shop was replacing levo motors weekly. That went on for 2 years or so. Now...

Funny, I found this out when Transition was at Howler bike park and I kept dropping my chain. The did a quick fix, I bought a new wheel set and sent that wheel in for warranty.

I didn't think of friction paste. I used copper anti-seize the last time I pulled the motor to grease the metal sleeves. That was in January and so far, no creaking as of yet. (knock on wood)

Had the big camera out to capture pics for the clothing brand I represent. Got that Michael Jorden thing going on. LoL Photography is a side hobby of mine.

When we got my GFs Relay, the battery wouldn't go in so I bent the tab up and it went in fine. But the bike turned off at harsh jump landings (like 7 times in a single ride) and then on a big overshoot, the battery actually ejected. So I got back to the house, used needle nose to bend the tab...

So this keeps happening. Looking at the Fazua LED manual, those light patterns happen when connecting to BLE and disconnecting from BLE. ??

Generally when I'm at a bike park or want to record the ride with an action camera. Funny enough, I used to think it was the full face helmet that gave me the confidence to rider faster to hit bigger jumps. That was until I rode my full face with just glasses rather than goggles. Dropping...

I should add that he rides that Repeater EP8 at least 4 days a week since buying it. Even sold his DH bike and just rode that in Whistler. He rides hard too. Big gaps, big drops, damn near mach chicken on every trail.

OP's self-diagnoses of paralysis by analysis is correct. ;) I'll add some anecdote... a friend of mine who lives in Bellingham is the destroyer of all things bikes. Bearings, linkage, frames, wheels, spokes, hubs, etc.... I'm talking 5 out of 10 rides he breaks something. He switched bike...

My LBS mechanic says his factory 38 requires about 5psi less than what is recommended for his weight to feel right to him. He's on a Fazua equipped Heckler SL. And he rips. It works for sure. Adding or removing tokens by the twice of a knob. But if you don't travel or have a verity of...

That's interesting. When I did a lower leg service on my 170 38, I put 94psi back in the air spring. My fork felt quite stiff and my LBS agreed. I dropped it down to 90psi and now it feels like it did prior to the service. I ride at 200lbs with a 45lb bike. I have an MRP ramp control in...

IXS doesn't get enough attention in the states it seems. my favorite pad from them is the Trigger Race. I'm actually editing a video reviewing 9 sets of pads. But it's not close to release. These are the ones I tested... POC VDP Lite G-Form E-line - owned, great pads Kali Strike - owned...

I used that spring calculator when deciding on 400 spring for the GF. With my own information, it put me right above a 450lb spring when riding at 200. Their answer makes me think their size Medium PNW is set up for about a 170-180 pound rider.

The PNW Relay being my first experience with a coil shock, I've been learning a little bit. Figured I'd share my thoughts and what I've learned. . First I'll share my experience in regards to Transition's spring rate decision for the PNW builds. Essentially, I think they are on the light...

Sweet!

Anyone see any strange Power LED patterns? This weekend on two separate Relays, with 2 different firmwares, I saw similar light patters happen out of the blue, while not riding. The pattern showed itself randomly with 4 lights, 3 lights and 2 lights and in any power mode. Most complete...
