    Guide RE with 220mm rotors?

    The cup/conical washer is dictated by the caliper. For example if you were using a Guide caliper instead of Guide RE caliper then the cup/cone spacer would not be required.

    Guide RE with 220mm rotors?

    Yeah, I just checked what I bought, the SB001 mount I bought was from dirthut and was a 180-203. That doesnt seem to be available now. but the mount I linked will certainly be fine for the OP who was looking for 220 mount.

    Problem removing internal battery - Merida !

    Yeah, take it back, probably an issue with the spring on the latch. Don't mess with it yourself as the latch probably needs replacing. Good luck with it. At worst they can replace top mount from a stock bike.

    Shock bolt stuck and rounded

    Yes. As you have it off the bike a small fabrication yard can tack weld a nut onto the bolt head and it will come out easily.

    Stolen bikes

    This was the shop at Laggan Wolftrax. Another £40k worth stolen from Country cycles in Glasgow at the week end apparently. Probably the same crew. Scum.

    New Bike - Optimised

    It's a good idea tho, I'm planning on doing the same thing with Shimano, running the EP8000 with the BT8035-L and just saving the BT8036 battery (and around .6kg) for the bigger rides. "When" I get my new Vitus which Im going to try to get to near 20kg:)

    Shimano motor new to old comparisons

    Sprockets in Kilmarnock have(or had last week) the 630 external battery in stock. No new mount yet though so you will have to modify existing one per the thread details...and be very careful that there will be clearance with the shock piggyback chamber..merida doesnt fit. I'm buying a new vrx...

    Petrol on a rag removes the residue from Gorilla tape quickly... And leaves the rim ready to be retaped. :)

    Battery on E8000

    Hi there Harlsta, This is a similar situation to a car starting system where there is a bad earth. the car starter slows down and the main power cables begin to get HOT. I would investigate the connections on the underside of the spade that is melting the plastic. I havn't had that off myself...

    7 Stanes and other Scottish trails.

    Was at Comrie on Sunday. Everything open including the cakeshop. Recommended. Cambusbarron is great riding as well..very close to Stirling...no cakeshop tho and you'll need someone to show you where the trails are.

    How to undo

    Hi there, Max torque of 13.5NM is about what you would excert using a normal allen wrench around 6" long. So I guess it has been overtightened, and the hex's flats look like they wont last much longer. Check the other end of the axle to see if it also has a hex keyway in it. If so then use a...

    I dont think the seals will be the defining feature of your forks. On a cheap fork replace the seals with a cheap seal. An expensive seal will probably leak quite quickly on a fork without tight tolerances. Rockshox seem to have worked hard to get a great performing fork in the Lyrik. When...

    Any Radon riders out there?

    I see you are from Scotland. Radon have a tie up with a bike shop in Oban so that you can use them as your LBS for collection/warranty etc if you chose that option during the check out process (there is a small fee for this). Not much use if you are in the Central Belt however if you are...

    You need the seals and the foam rings. Nothing else. Some of the items in your Upgrade spring are part of that 200hr service kit. All the best :)

    Instead of the service kit you posted buy this: https://j-techsuspension.co.uk/products/skf-seal-kits?_pos=1&_sid=9935b81e0&_ss=r&variant=30612041171084 The rest looks good.

    The upgrade is straightforward per the SRAM video (although the vid I saw shows the upgrade to 2019 spring). if your fork does not has the new low friction SKF seals (turquoise colour) then you'll want them (post 2015). If you buy the kit to upgrade rather than the full spring then you will...
