As you say, sounds like the knock block has been moving and where the cables come out the head tube it's been wearing the cables.
If you've a carbon frame, check the internals of the carbon in the head tube too. I had a frame replacement on my 8000 model as there were layers of carbon...
Run it out the side vent. I've had mine like that for quite a while now with no issues, the plugs sit inside the venting and just run out through the existing hole. From recollection I had to feed the cable from the control unit into the venting then fit the two together inside the headtube and...
Changed my wheelset over to Hope Fortus 30 a month or so ago. Switched to Shimano icetech 6 bolt rotors and SRAM AXS at same time and just put a shimano e8000 disc rotor magnet on it (think I got it off Commencal site as was quite difficult to find). Fits fine with no adjustment and no issues...
I've just recieved the Commencal one (bit of a postal mix up so it's taken an age to receive) so I was using a bosch one for last few weeks. Zero issues with that from a usage perspective, didn't think to look at clearance but no rubbing noises from anywhere. Shimano one I now have from...
Hi All. Decided to upgrade my e160 wheels and hub to Hope with the Pro 4 hub. Stupidly didn't even consider the wheel magnet on the back wheel.
Hope use 6 bolt config rather than centrelock so need to source a new magnet. Have seen a few 6 bolt rotor magnets from specialised/bosch etc but the...
In process of having a 2021 Carbon e160 front triangle replaced (Uk based) after finding delamination inside the headset during a service. Issue reported start of May. My LBS had to go through Merida UK then Merida Taiwan to get it looked at (via photos). Warranty replacement approved start of...
Had this on my Merida. Shimano freehub? Would make noise freewheeling sometimes but not others. Swapped it out as I was having other issues (loud creaking caused by failed washer on the freehub) and the new one clicks away nicely all the time. It's still not a loud hub but it is constant now.
Ah thanks. Might not be needed now as found carbon splintering on the inside of the headtube when getting it serviced. Waiting for Merida to review the frame.
Have the 2021 Merida e160 8000 and underneath the shaped headset spacer that the cables route through at the front of the headset there is an external plastic seal/washer that looks like its there to protect the bearings. Mine has split and looking for the part to replace it. Looking at the...
Been running the Amygos bashguard on mine and it's taken the abuse that the motor otherwise would have. Been really pleased with it. They're a french company so depends where you are based. Covers the motor, bottom of the down tube and wraps round the bottom of the drive train. Wasn't cheap but...
Yes, but it's only a velcro strap so just needs loosening to access the charge port. No need to remove the bashguard or anything like that.
Will say I took the motor cover off the other day and it was still very clean inside there after 700miles riding so think it does a good job at deflecting...
Have an Amygos bashguard on mine which covers the motor and the bottom of battery cover and then a spare tube strapped round the top. Secured top and bottom and not going anywhere!
Light removed today and new stem/spacers now fitted. Easy once you know how. Thanks to those above for details. Didn't need to loosen the motor fortunately, could just pull cable through.
Yeah, there's the Lezyne xlock system that bolts onto the bottom stem bolts which isn't too bad if I have to keep. Off to LBS today so going to ask them if they know. If not, I'll start taking it apart after my N.Wales trip next week. Seen a few posts that look like wiring goes into side of...
Looking to swap out the stem on my e160 so need to remove the front light as it's next to useless anyway. It's a sealed unit on the back of the light so must be a plug/connector somewhere inside the frame I can hopefully dismantle and pull through. Cable runs through the internal routing at the...
Can anyone confirm what volume spacers fit in the Marzochi bomber z1 ebike fork that comes on the e160? Is it fox 36 Orange 10cc? (Waiting on delivery of top cap spanner so can't look to see what's in there already just yet and can't find it in the manual). TIA
