    FatSix Top Gear Skipping

    Hey all, Just a follow-up on this issue. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't think to closely inspect my cassette's chainrings: it turned out that the upper three chaintings were severely shark-toothed which resulted in the insanity-inducing skipping. This bike was only two-weeks old, and it...

    Dongling

    Just checking in. After about 6-weeks of daily use...at least 20-miles a day. Weekdays hitting 30MPH for short bursts, and cruising at about 25MPH in Touring-mode, weekends moderate off-road/trail riding, all in mixed and harsh weather, I can say I am well pleased not only with the FatSix, but...

    Chainring Help: HaiBike FatSix Bosch >16T?

    Hey Disraeli! Thanks for the excellent input, and apologies for the delayed response. I haven't had time to research the possibility of Felt being able to assist, but will do so soon. It's been mildly frustrating to be limited to the FatSix's 16(1.44):10 ratio; two more teeth, and I'd be in...

    Chainring Help: HaiBike FatSix Bosch >16T?

    Hey all, Does anyone know if a 18T or 20T HaiBike XDURO Bosch chainring for the FatSix is to be gotten anywhere? I have no idea were to ask. My FatSix's 16T has no obvious manufacturer's model # on it to delineate it from the standard chainring. My DEEP chainring: Standard shallow...

    Hey Steve, You're more anal than I! I was impressed enough with the hardware to trust it not to allow moisture into where it's not wanted. In fact, I've had BAD experiences with attempts at waterproofing electronic connections on a gasoline-powered bicycle I used in my past, so I avoid trying...

    FatSix Top Gear Skipping

    Hey Joe, Thanks for the advice. Those pedals look like they'd suit my needs well, and they're not eye-bulgingly expensive. http://a.co/6KywrB6 Yep...they're plastic :mad: "...thinking people who spend that kinda cash on a mountain bike already have their own pedals they like" How...

    FatSix Top Gear Skipping

    Hey Joe, Thanks for the advice. I think you may be right. A little back-story: I got the bike about a month back and most of my riding has been on beaches and sandy shoreline. My first experience with chain-suck occurred in about the first week, and I felt embarrassed that I'd actually...

    FatSix Top Gear Skipping

    Ha! Thanks Jeff, I was actually going to include a "short of getting a slow-motion video of the problem, I don't know what to do!". I just may end up doing just tat. Love your avatar BTW. There used to be huge "Reddy Killowatt" sign at a power-plant near where I grew up. Always thought he was...

    FatSix Top Gear Skipping

    Hey all, I started riding my new FatSix 2015 about two weeks back, and have had few issues. Recently, one has been giving me plenty of aggravation. After I oiled up my chain, it has an annoying habit of skipping teeth on the highest-gear of my cassette when under load. It seems to occur...

    Dongling

    Hey E-Wheels, I'd ASSUMED it only worked for Sport and Turbo modes, but today whilst riding down a slight incline on a local highway, I was quite surprised to see my speedo was up around 34MPH. I was in Tour mode, and the effort-indicator showed that it was still assisting. So, I guess it works...

    Dongling

    Hey Steve, Thanks for the RS recommendation. I went with it, and installed it earlier this week. The dongle's of high quality; the connectors match the Bosch originals with their subtle water-proofing rubber boots...very impressive and reassuring. The installation was a simple plug-and-play...

    Thanks man. I have a 2015 FatSix XDURO. I'm anxious to get a reliable dongle that'll report the proper speed. I like the feedback on the ASA eSpeed B32.14, but eBikeTuning.com won't ship to the US. I notice that the RS's specs indicate that it works on my Bosch, I'm just concerned about the...
