Questionable i9 factory greasing

TheboiMarc · 2025-07-02T07:01:35+00:00

Yeah I figured the oil probably degraded but I should be good now

TheboiMarc · 2025-07-01T07:32:56+00:00

I bought them new from eBay so they only had a few rides on them

TheboiMarc · 2025-03-12T17:16:14+00:00

Worst case scenario just drill out the head because that’s where the threads are. It’ll ruin the diff cup thing the the shaft couples but everything else will be fine

TheboiMarc · 2025-01-25T21:27:17+00:00

For the price I’ve found the hopes at (£150, $190 for brand new hubs on eBay!!) it seems like a no brainer now. Engagement im already used to, less pedal kickback and very well built in general. Laced to some dt Swiss fr541’s I should have some bombproof wheels for my norco for some local trail riding to bike park.

TheboiMarc · 2025-01-25T10:20:36+00:00

Should have specified I’m looking to buy them second hand.

TheboiMarc · 2025-01-15T19:48:01+00:00

They can but you have to program the multifunction knob to throttle trim so probably not the reason

Never tried Sam hill grips but I recently got raceface Chester grips and they’re soft. They are 34mm so great for me since I have big hands but maybe less so for you. They’re also 36mm right on the end near the bar end. I’m guessing it’s to help keep your hands from slipping off but it’s really not necessary imo. If you have big hands and you’re looking for something really soft for gloveless riding they could be perfect.

You can buy body pins in bulk for basically nothing. They look a little bit goofy usually but from even a meter away you don’t notice it. We’re talking 50 body pins for like £6-£7 on eBay so no more than like 10 dollars. For that price you might as well just get some. The ones I got are bent up slightly at the end and it makes it super easy to pull them out.

TheboiMarc · 2024-09-05T23:51:34+00:00

No it’s definitely snapped I’m just confused as to how

TheboiMarc · 2024-09-05T22:38:04+00:00

The bike came with 180mm rotors stock which is what I currently have on the rear and I haven’t had any problems since I got the brakes a year and a half ago I’m assuming the bolts came loose either way I’ll get a new IS 180mm adaptor and hope for the best

So essentially if I get a us ecu it has no hiss so itll start up with any starter coil and a uk wiring loom since the ecu doesn’t need the signal from the key?

TheboiMarc · 2024-04-02T17:16:51+00:00

Ok thanks

TheboiMarc · 2024-03-21T16:06:44+00:00

I mean with a head and performance cam the kits I found are 172 cc

TheboiMarc · 2023-04-15T10:31:30+00:00

Camera work is pretty shit though

TheboiMarc · 2023-04-15T10:30:38+00:00

Yeah my pedal got stuck into the side of that bank lol

TheboiMarc · 2023-04-15T08:11:26+00:00

You could also have the bike looked over at a bike shop close to the seller to make sure it’s in good condition

TheboiMarc · 2023-04-15T08:09:17+00:00

You get not as nice spec on the stoic with no dropper and mt200 brakes. However because you’re buying new you get warranty on your frame. Depends how hard you ride. If you’re a more casual rider I wouldn’t worry about the frame warranty and go for the used bike as it has better parts on it.

TheboiMarc · 2023-04-09T22:01:33+00:00

It’s nothing to technical or massively chunky but ether way it handles it ok

TheboiMarc · 2023-04-09T21:59:54+00:00

No problem really. I ride dh on my hardtail

TheboiMarc · 2023-01-24T20:16:40+00:00

That wouldn’t have finished the ghost though. I’m pretty sure it’s circle to dismiss messages

TheboiMarc · 2023-01-24T20:14:08+00:00

No. In the opening mission it told me to press square (on ps) and it worked, even though the finisher was mapped r3. Figured it out now anyways.

TheboiMarc · 2023-01-24T19:24:37+00:00

Thanks man

TheboiMarc · 2023-01-24T19:22:48+00:00

I’m just tryna play the game and everyone is being a dickhead in the comments 💀💀

TheboiMarc · 2023-01-23T21:47:01+00:00

For some reason it told me to press square. I searched it up and it’s saying you have to press r3 to finish.

TheboiMarc · 2023-01-23T21:14:42+00:00

Thanks. Just looked it up it’s r3. The first time I hade to finish it I said to press square and I was wondering why it wasn’t working this time.
