Which is why I earlier said:

You can measure stuff ad infinitum, but @Wildman13 has another bike ("my old Patrol") so, assuming that is comfortable for him, (IMO) he would be best advised to set the new bike up using his old bike as a starting point.

Which is pretty much what I said earlier :)

What is the reach on your old bike and what is the reach on your new bike? Inches or cm.

How can "correct bar width" be determined?

I also think so. Try higher rise bars with more sweep - sweep is a commonly ignored issue. You are going to have to mess around trying different things until you find what works for you. It's most important to be comfortable on the flat and downhill, climbing is a relatively minor issue on...

Manitou Mezzer Pro?

Welcome. You are doing the right thing by eating less (and probably better) because that is the only effective way of losing weight. All things being equal, with regular exercise your legs will come back. Most important thing is to ride the eMTB in order to travel further, not to rest your...

Welcome. Agree. Was great to ride with my wife today :love: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/pic-of-the-day.11217/post-540840

Welcome from Chichester (y) (If the wind stayed behind you then that 136 mile range wouldn't be a lie 😉 )

On the basis of the very little info so far from TheWho it seems unlikely that a saddle can solve the coccyx issue. Just sayin'.

Because you have failed to question and therefore address TheWho's "health problems" ... "I'm hoping to use my hard tail emtb as part of a slow recovery from long-term health problems, mainly used for gravel, mud and rocky paths. Probably rides of 1-2 hours. I am mainly sat down because...

I wear padded liner shorts under shorts in hot weather and under trousers in cold weather. Tried Endura undershorts which didn't fit me very well, then bought (expensive) Assos Trail Tactica HP T3 liner shorts which still fit perfectly and show absolutely no signs of wear after over a year's...

Also my recommendation. You can always turn the power down to get a good workout. As you get more ambitious then the power will be there when you need it, for example to get up steep stuff.

Maxxis DD (Double Down) and DH (Downhill) are not the same.

A 900 gram tyre is a wimpy tyre (imo).

Get minimum knee and elbow pads and ideally body armour and full face helmet. I learnt the hard way, have Dainese Linea helmet, POC VPD knee and elbow pads, and Leatt Airflex Stealth Tee. Not too hot in summer.

Non eBike owners think that eBikes are only for when you get too old to pedal up the steeps. They couldn't be more wrong. The fact is that the type and range of riding you can do with an eBike is very different to that possible with an analog bike - they are simply different beasts with...

If you search for "Specialized S202100005" you might get more 'hits'.

On the link further down it says: Cross compatible Sram XD freehub body - S202100005
