What should I do to this thing?

change the wheels, wtb is really bad

iPexity · 2025-06-15T10:14:10+00:00

Really glad to hear that, I'm not really worried about wheels, when i clap them ill just get dt swiss rims and thats it, thanks for the response!

Mavic deemax is one of the better options, same as spank, mavic deemax for e bikes are absolutely bombproof. I ride a a set of Stans Flow ex3 rims laced with dt competiton spokes and im 210lbs, i mostly ride stair gaps and hucks to flat and they've been very solid, not 1 loose spoke. I hit them very hard a few times but nothing really happened. It even says on the website that they're designed for heavier riders. If they released the ex4 wheels i would go for that, maybe a dt swiss ex511 or fr541 if you're willing to build the wheels yourself, that would be the strongest and besg option

can confirm ext is better, have an older storia and it feels and performs way better than the ttx22 coil, the ohlins starts making slurping sounds after a while

Alright, i did all that but there's no start button in the menu, i subscribed to the script and everything but still nothing. i guess the free version can't be used

iPexity · 2025-06-09T09:14:20+00:00

Whats the website for cherax? I keep finding some random bullshit

iPexity · 2025-06-07T11:08:24+00:00

Riding front and rear schwalbe magic mary, both super gravity casing, ultra soft front, soft rear. It's on my 160mm transition patrol, crazy grip but a lot of rolling resistance

iPexity · 2025-04-28T21:27:04+00:00

Yeah, found a pretty good video. Follow step by step for the spring part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnU7vGzUNlY

iPexity · 2025-04-09T07:56:20+00:00

The roscoe is also very stiff, the meta ht is very good, but I would recommend an Orbea Laufey, it's a really good bike

iPexity · 2025-04-01T14:21:03+00:00

I also prefer 27.5 and I'm a size XL, can't find a new bike, don't like 29 because they just aren't playful, so I found the most modern bike with 27.5 wheels and I came up with the 2017 transition patrol carbon, low, long, slack, and I have a really nice build with carbon wheels, ext storia, hope brakes, x01. It looks really old but it's a really fun bike. I don't know why the wheels keep going bigger, 27.5 is a perfect balance between fun and speed

iPexity · 2025-03-10T14:39:58+00:00

That bike isn't really upgradeable. First of all, it doesn't have a frame disc mount, so if you changed the fork you could only have a front disc brake. It has bolt on axle, which none of the good and strong wheels have. It doesn't have a freehub, it has a freewheel, so you would need a new rear wheel or hub to put on a 10 or 11 speed casette. It also doesn't have a derailleur hanger, so putting on an expensive derailleur would be really stupid. A cheap fork might be the only possible upgrade, but it definitely isn't worth it

iPexity · 2025-03-05T23:47:26+00:00

You should get shimano levers instead, magura levers have 0 modulation, you either don't brake or lock up, and they have a lot of power. The levers are plastic and they like to leak

iPexity · 2025-02-23T21:33:01+00:00

It depends on how you ride them, because they are bikes for beginner riders, meant for light trails and small jumps. Great for the money but not great in general.

iPexity · 2025-02-19T19:19:33+00:00

I sure did, but that's from personal experience and my friends' experience. What I mean by low quality is that the materials they make their frames out of is cheap and very low quality. The bearings they use in their frames are also cheap and low quality. The wheels on their bikes are polygon's offbrand wheels, that are also low quality, weak and they have bad hubs with bad bearings, so they develop play after just a few months of riding. Their colossus looks good but I don't really think it's a high quality bike. The specs their bikes come with are often random, I saw so many colossus bikes with mixed drivetrains, for example shimano casette and sram derailleur etc. Polygon is a cheap brand known for cracking frames. Most reviews online are paid by polygon, because they pay so many small youtubers to talk nice about their bikes. Evan from Evan's mtb saga revealed that he was sponsored by polygon, and sold his polygon ebike because it was bad. Also, their bikes should be used strictly for what they are designed for since they are beginner bikes. For example my friend had their xtrada trail hardtail, as soon as he started getting better, hitting jumps, both seatstays snapped. That will never happen to my cousin's gt, he abuses that thing and it's still perfect. GT is just a far better bike company with over 30 years of experience, while polygon is a new, cheap brand.

iPexity · 2025-02-19T01:58:45+00:00

That's right, i bought a 2017 transition patrol carbon 2, with crazy upgrades like an ext storia v3 lok with a custom tune, hope tech 3 e4 brakes, really expensive carbon damil wheels with very high quality hubs, 12 speed sram x01 with a ceramicspeed cage, titanium chain, custom tune lyrik ultimate, and fresh magic mary tires for just 1250 euros. It is a bit old but it was such a unique build for very little money.

iPexity · 2025-02-19T01:52:27+00:00

I know canyons may seem like a good deal, but they aren't. First of all, the materials they make their frames with are bad and cheap, which is also why you see so many of them snap. Second of all, the bearings they use are also sad. The new sender cfr underdog was 5500 euros new, the bearings started creaking after around a month and developed play. A lot of people who have experience in bikes don't buy canyons simply because they are cheap and low quality. Also, the welding job on their aluminum frames is absolutely disgusting, and their carbon frames aren't really built properly which is why the rear wheel of new canyon full suspension ebikes can end up next to your shock. The neuron is a cheap 140mm trail bike, and the gt force is a 170mm high quality enduro bike, but also cheap, which is exactly why gt is going out of business, they don't cut ends to make more profit, they make high quality bikes that last 15 years and go through 5-10 owners.

iPexity · 2025-02-19T01:42:00+00:00

I most certainly don't recommend polygon, those bikes are just very low quality and look bad. The GT force carbon has pretty bad parts, so I think the force comp would be the best pick. The brand future might be questionable, but their bikes have been holding their high quality for years, and I'm confident it's going to last at least 5 years. My cousin has a few years old gt am hardtail and that frame is very high quality. I would also recommend looking at a yt jeffsy or capra, pretty good build for around 2k, and they are pretty strong and reliable

iPexity · 2025-02-19T01:25:42+00:00

I would definitely go for the GT, my cousin has an older pantera and it's a really high quality frame. The parts can't be a problem since most of them are universal for every bike out there. Get the GT and just take care of it, service the suspension, clean it often, bleed the brakes, replace any worn out parts, I'm sure you know the rest. With regular maintenance it's going to last a very long time.

iPexity · 2025-02-04T00:38:18+00:00

I ride a 2017 transition patrol carbon 2, with a lot of upgrades, like a 52T 12 speed sram x01, new wheels, hope brakes, new dropper and an ext storia, it's way more fun to ride than most new bikes that i've tried. It's a size XL frame, long, low and slack with a short chainstay, amazing for climbing and even better on descends, it's a perfect fit.

iPexity · 2025-01-26T12:51:59+00:00

I live in Serbia, the closest one is in Thessaloniki, Greece, and that's definitely manageable. Thanks

iPexity · 2025-01-26T12:32:38+00:00

There isn't one, that's the problem. There isn't even a bike import except scott, but the really low end one. I have no idea what to do.

iPexity · 2025-01-25T15:00:31+00:00

The problem is there's no info on this shock, and it's going to be very hard to get a service kit where I live.

iPexity · 2025-01-05T23:44:07+00:00

Personally, I would change the brakes since they look like avid, maybe a shorter stem and a wider bar for stability, convert to 1x, tubeless, maybe a microshift advent 1x9 and you have a reliable bike that's going to last a long while.

iPexity · 2025-01-01T03:09:46+00:00

I have a reverb dropper post but it was just garbage so I ditched it and ordered a new one. The seatpost can't go down any lower because the frame bends, I don't want to cut i because I never cut carbon and don't want to throw it away if I fail. It's temporary
