Tone Rob is right about the peddling w/o any assist. I have a MXS, and you REALLY feel the weight if just peddling w/o any assistance.

Well I installed the 27.2mm SR Suntour NCX (with the required 30.4 to 27.2 spacer they sell on Amazon) today. WOW!!!!!! I'll say it again WOW!!! What a HUGE difference and upgrade. That thing is built like a tank. Very high-end feel to the materials. I weigh 230 so I also bought the red...

I looked at my MXS specs sheet (forgot I even had it 😬), and it looks like the MXS is a 27.2 diameter. So this one will have to be exchanged.

I believe I opened it (unscrewed it) far enough to release all the tension on the seat tube. How did yours go in (easy or firm/hard)? The stock Sondors one goes in with a smidge of slack. I'm buying another digital caliper tomorrow to check the one they sent me and the stock seat tube. I'll...

Wings02-What size diameter post did you get? I see we didn't get an answer back from Ton Rob. I bought the same post in 30.9mm. It seems too large? I measured with a cheap micrometer and that was the closest size from what was stock (of what they offered).

Here is my DIY screen protector. Make a paper template first, "soften" the edges with a radius (looks more pro and less likely to lift).

Not the best chain/gear pic, but you get the point. Its a Deckas 52T.

Merry Christmas Wings02! What size seat post did you get? I know my MXS may be different (and I'll check), but may be buying one also with some Christmas gift card I got.

Wow, thats strange. I have a MXS, went from the 48 to the 52 and my chain does NOT stick up that much. Maybe a little, but I'll post a pic later. I bought a mini IPad screen saver and made a paper template to make my scree protector. Try and post a few pics here later.

Yeah OP, it's the cold. At least here in New Hampshire (USA). But I'm using some Christmas money to upgrader her a bit. Longer bars (the stock MXS bars are SO NARROW and maybe a better suspension seat post. The stock one is sticky (poor design), even after a complete disassemble and clean up.

I agree Wings02. It raining today, so I'm not riding. I'll take it offroad this weekend (supposed to be nicer weather) and post back!

I purchased some 3M clear bra when I first got the bike. Did the forks, down tube, top tube, seat stay and chain stay. Now finally got to the battery box. I get it, its a bike, it's supposed to get scratched. BUT...for the OCD in you (and me), we can't stand scratches...on anything we own...

Oh, well I'm surprised how MUCH of a change going from 48 to 50! At first i was like “this feels the same”. But after going up and down hills, THAT is where you feel the difference. I will try and taken it off-road tomorrow. I need to make sure first gear is low enough for my needs. 52 might...

Well, flipped it back over and went for a ride. Didn’t really hear any noise (though i did have one ear bud in playing music, so ill have to check it tomorrow with no music). So maybe it was just because i was upside down.

Yeah, that sucks. Sondors does suck in that whole customer service stuff. Good luck!

EVH5150-did you presumably add a new chain for your bigger crank? Seemed like you went up quite a bit. I wonder if my chain is now "technically" a link to small and that could be the noise?

Wings02. Installing the chainring now. I heard a little chain noise since the install, so I followed Park Tool'd "How to adjust a rear derailluer"video (again). No abnormal noise before the chainring. I got the 50T, like you. Same source from Amazon. I am working on my bike with the bike...

Great tips WarehouseGuy! I used lithium grease as well. Only have 150 +/- miles, so maybe better later on. How did you clean up the I.D.? Thanks.

Would love to hear how this works!
