I would say if you are having flex issues with a 36 then a 38 will give a Levo chassis a real hard time. Are you sure it is the fork not the frame or wheels?
The S3 has a 150mm dropper which is to long for you. The S2 has a 125mm drop. Ask the bike shop if they will swop it for a 125mm version. If it is new they may be happy to do that as they will be able to sell the 150.
I am really confused about why anyone would want a EBike in road Race form. Commuter bike I get but a high spec racer .... Everyone I know rides there road bikes faster than 15mph 99% of the time.
I got through 2 sets of next sl and have just had the pedal inserts on a pair of SIXC fails.
I hate Race Face stuff, only used it when it is original fit on a bike.
With the higher likelihood of pedal strikes on an ebike strong alloy cranks is the way to go. I see zero benefit of carbon cranks...
They really should have had it repaired at a good shock service center . In fact that is an option in the warranty I would guess. Most things can be fixed on shocks.
Posting the design in a public place would make it impossible to register the patent. It is now classed as in the public domain. I was involved with patent management for a few years.
In Scotland that would last about 2 minutes. Neat idea but not really any good on a mountain bike. One little stone or gritty water even and goodnight vienna .
Once it breaks as well then NO power at all so a long hard slog on a Kenevo sans power.
If you ride harder you will notice a big difference. I just moved up from a 34 to a Lyrik on my non-ebike and it is miles better at taking hits and staying on line. I do ride competitive Enduro though.
