E150rs Maximum Chain ring size

[Penttithefinn]

Having sourced a 38T I tried to fit it today. School boy error, as I measured the gap between chain ring and chain stay when the bike was upright ie weighted. Turned the bike upside down to fit and it touches the chain stay as the bike is unweighted. So its up for sale!

Did you get the boost version?
I have the original 150RS 27.5" wheels and have run a 38T for the last 12 months. Mine has Boost 148 Chainline stamped on the back of it.

Yes exactly the same, it hits when bike is unweighted, don't suppose you want a spare its up for sale.

I too have run with the 38 tooth for over 12 months without any issues on the 150 RS.

Must have been a change to the chain stay or motor mount, unfortunately!
