It's 2025 Is an Emtb in your near future?

I like the new rail better, the fact that it’s 160/160 with the frame approved for a 180 fork.

This is also because shimano is all in on Wireless for 2025. The writing is on the wall here.

Except for the wires they use in all of their systems 🤣

He summarized my thoughts super well.

Before the downturn, did you guys service them?

 

[Steve Vai]

Before the downturn, did you guys service them?

Yes. We’ve been building these since they came out. We can only do a few actual services though because we don’t have the things for the electronics. Although I have done motor swaps.

Looks extremely practical, especially for things like group rides and such…

Do e-bikes make electric motor noise, like audible noise?

Sounds like the flying cars on The Jetsons....😉

Yes, they do. like an electric lawn mower on acceleration/load.
Then they settle in. wonder how much of it is cooling?

 

[one piece crank]

Hmmm. Makes sense, but I did not know that.

Some more than others. My Creo is at least twice as loud as my Levo. And my current Levo motor is louder than the one it replaced.

 

[Ian F]

Yes, definitely some more than others. My Heckler seems loud to me when I'm riding it, but others have said they barely hear anything.

I did a ride yesterday and spent much of the ride with the two e-bike riders behind me (I was on a normal bike for a change) an older Trek and a Polygon. I don't remember hearing their bikes much.

Is the battery loud enough to over power a mystery creaking suspension bearing?

If so, that may be a great selling point.

Can't speak to creaking pivots, but Shimano MS cassette creaking: No - I couldn't hear my friends' bikes over he noise of my cassette... 🙄

Don't know if it actually works to fix the noise but that's it's purpose. I removed mine as they shifted and got mangled and caused issues with the cassette alignment

I'm assuming you tried grease, and it worked for a short bit until the noise returned?

It this is on an E-Bike you should rip it all off, sell it and get Linkglide? 🙂

 

[Ian F]

Yes, I need one of those spacers. The Spot is in dire need of a complete tear-down servicing. I've basically done nothing but abuse that poor bike since I got it back in March 2020.

The Heckler has XO Transmission, so it's good there.

But what about the tires??

Unfortunately not even close. I've accepted it's not my zen MTB so whatever noise it's making is what it is.

Spoiler: Heat it, you know the drill
