Just had a call from my LBS, fitting a SW 6000 mode switch to my E160 900E, wire is not long enough to reach my DI2 computer, he has had to move the computer to the left hand side of the of the stem, not ideal, but I suppose that's better than cutting and joining the wire ?

Reason I am changing the mode selector is I have purchased an under bar dropper post lever, and I need room to operate the dropper without having to move my thumb under the original mode levers to reach the dropper lever.

Sounds like you bought the wrong side with shorter cable? Or did the shop order it in for you? I always do my own work and have never trusted bike shops. They remind me of dodgey car mechanics (I also maintain my cars).
If you order the right one, you can set it up like below. Screen on the left would annoy me.

Bugga, didn't know they did a switch for each side. I ordered it on the internet, so am stuck with it now.

There are 2 sides? I didnt see that mentioned when i bought mine so i guess its a lucky dip for me lol. If its short ill get a cable done up.
In the meantime i played with my position of the seat trigger and its on the right side up top but kind pointing flat. I used it yesterday for a run and it was heaps better than before. Not as much pressure to get everything switched out in a rush.

Picked the bike up at the shop, and in the meantime, he figured out he would need to run the cable externally rather than internally, so now its on the left side as per original. Going out for a blast now, should be good to have the dropper easy to reach & use.

Not on the Italian site i ordered from. All good, i'll just buy the other one if this isn't right
Now all i need is for some dry, sunny weather so i can get out and ride the thing! Been pouring all week in Sydney

Had a great ride 35 km all in trail mode, 1 bar left which had turned red, but I was pushing it, and plenty of climbing. Brilliant being able to drop the seat post when required without having to move my grip on the bars. Love this bike!

Does the uk eone-sixty 900e come with fox factory 36 rc2 fork?
Mine purchased in nz came with the fit4...

My 2019 model I bought recently in oz came with grip 2 damper.

The GRIP2 is the next iteration of the RC2 heh?
The FIT4 damper is nice but GRIP2 is better with LSC HSC?
...I did get a real sharp price on my bike, so I can't complain really.

Mine in UK has Fit4. I did query it upon delivery, as the demo bike had the regular Fox36 chassis with older RSC damper.
Though at the time of build (earlier in 2018), Merida had made the switch to the ebike specific fork (upgrade from the demo model I rode) yet Fox were only supplying that E specific chassis with the Fit4 damper at that time - at least that's the way the Merida sales guy relayed it.

Mine has just started making the clicking sound, wasn't doing it from new. Only done 150 km. Sounds like it coming from the headset, or fork area, very annoying, since it was originally a quiet bike. Will talk to the LBS mechanic if I can't find whats causing it myself.

Just looking through some old stuff and found this series of photos that tells a little story of when I first picked up my 900E. Thought I'd share because photos are cool.
I got the call early December 2017 that my 900E had arrived so I took work off early and picked it up in the rain.
As soon as I got it home I stripped it down to this.
Considered a fork swap....
Sold my Saints and then discovered my Hope calipers wouldn't fit.. DOH!!
So I rode some other bikes while I waited for some temp brakes to arrive..... but would stare at it every night.. before bed ITCHING to get out on it's first ride.
And then finally that day came!
Took about 2 weeks from the day I picked it up to actually going for a ride because I didn't check the V4 caliper clearance. I had even routed the rear line through the frame
lol
It's a few pages back but she looks like this now..
Anyone else got an odd story about theirs?

Kind of ... I live in Western Australia and am currently on holidays in Melbourne on the other side of the country. Was planning to buy one of these, so decided to take delivery while in Melbourne so it gives me something to do while here. (I'm here on a couple of week holidays while the wife does a work placement, so got time to kill.)
Ordered a Large, collected the bike yesterday afternoon. While riding back to the hotel I'm thinking that I seemed to be sitting a little further on the back of the seat compared to when I did the test ride, but due to riding in an unfamiliar city during peak hour, I didn't pay too much attention, figured it just needed a few tweaks. Get back and start taking off all the little warning stickers and about to adjust the seat and notice they gave me a Medium! Luckily paperwork clearly states Large, so had to ride it back to the shop this AM. Now have to wait a couple of days for the Large to arrive. Gah!!!
Photo of bike that was mine for all of one night ... :-(

Hey, look! It's "No_Idea" from PF!!
Flogbox, you will be pleased to know I made a decision, and as much as I love the green version, I reckon you were right about the black one. Especially when I also have one of these same coloured things at home already ...

The old medium trick. How long are you in Melbourne for? I'm a permanent resident.. It's pissing down at the moment but when it dries up we should go for a spin. I've been meaning to post a thread to see if anyone else would be interested now that it gets dark a little later.

Also.. Where'd you buy yours from and how much if you don't mind me asking?

In Melbourne until this Friday, not sure yet when the Large arrives. I have my little fella (4 years old) with me while the wife is at work so that somewhat limits my movements. I have brought his little "Shotgun" seat so I can tonk around with him on the bike but sadly won't have the chance for some proper trails I don't think.

Sorry, was running out the door this AM as I posted the last comment and didn't have time to reply to the second that came through while I was posting.
Couldn't tell you to be honest, it was actually an insurance replacement for another bike that would have run up around the same value. Figured easier to grab this now and replace my DH bike with another out of my own pocket at some point in the next few months before the next season, gives me more time to suss out coil rates etc etc for that one.

Speaking of insurance... Who are you going to use to insure your new ebike?
