    Best eOne-Sixty 900e Size for 5'11" (180cm) rider?

    I am 185cm, riding an XL 900e, very happy and comfortable on the X large chassis. I went this way a few years ago after borrowing an xl giant trance and realising i preferred it to my L. Its a bit trickier in tight stuff but more stable on the fast downhill stuff. I feel its more comfortable...

    Di2

    I have DI2, it definately requires a degree of mechanical sympathy with gear changes as well as predicting your gear changes in advance. I find the gear changes pretty harsh in boost, and try not to...if i need an emegency power shift gear change ill generally try and hit the next power level in...

    Top spec Merida Eone-Sixty Vs Bottom spec 2019 Specialised Levo?

    If you look around you can get the E900 way cheaper than listed. My 19 was in the low 6 " es.(in OZ) I know the e trance if you can find one is being sold in the high 5s . The fox 36s and zee brakes are fine pieces of equipment, I rate the brakes as the best Ive used, and is making me go into...

    Hi from Oz. Still trying to decide.

    I have a merida 900e and have ridden the 19 e-trance.. Both good and similar price point, yamaha motor note slightly lower pitch. I prefer the shimano display. Maybe the yamaha is a bit more powerful. The Giants battery set up is aesthetically nicer.. I think the merida needs an update in the...

    E6010 controller swap

    Another Dumb Question /Observation. The E8000 controller is very bright. Great during the day, but would be too bright if doing a night ride. Can it be subdued ?- does make the E7000 controller look more attractive from the night ride point of view.

    E6010 controller swap

    Dumb question: The E8000 selector does not have a menu button/switch , so the menu selector is the small button on the controller? And on the E6000 selector the 3rd selector button is a little more convenient to use rather than the small button (on the controller)?

    I have the shimano saint pedals on my e-bike.Id just got the bike and they threw them in at cost. Im a long term clipless guy, having used time pedals since around 2000 and shimano spd prior to that. Id occasionally used jet black flat pedals on my sons bike, but jumps feel bizarre to me when...

    Oh -that's interesting that you get 32km/hr in NZ. Is speed controlled by the controller or is there a chip in the motor?? I'm told the '19 versions of the 800 will only be available in dec. In Australia., and the 900 in October. XL frames a '19 thing apparrently

    Front and Rear Sag Query

    Just wanting to get an idea on what people are using on their emtb's? I normally set up at around 30% front and rear on a normal bike. Im 50 Y/O trail rider with a half wrecked body from too many mx injuries, so I err towards to the plush end of the spectrum esp. for the front. My newly...
