I ride a lot, but I have not been this excited about getting on the bike in a long time. Let me state up front that I am a very, very, very happy owner of a 2014 Dash. Part of our part number on the Peak chain is "X9ERB". It very well may be the same high-torque type. I have to apologize, I have no current listing for the stock chain on our Dash. Our Peak, being a Mid-Drive does have a specific chain to handle super-human watts, where on the Dash this isn't the case, so that strength chain is not needed. 290 may work as a thread lock better, but DT may be more truable later down the road. You can use DT Spoke Freeze or Loc-Tite 290. It's very unlikely you can tension the spokes so much that you'll crack the hub. Right side spokes are always much flatter and shorter, where the left side is 2mm or so longer and more angled between the flange and the rim. It is simply to accomodate the stack of gears on the right side, but keep the rim on the centerline of the bike. The "Dish" of the rear wheel, (and front) is very normal in bicycles. Of course all have the new extra strong magnet bonding inside! There may be a sticker difference only, to match with the 15 bike graphics. Is this the only chain available for the Dash as of now?Īll good questions! The 2015 Dash wheel and the 2014 is the same. One last question (please).Shea replaced his chain 1650 miles and the 2015 chain looks to be the same that is on our Peak (specially hardened for torque). Is there a preferred method to true this wheel? Over-tighten in general and the a spoke my break the hub body, expensive repair. Over-tighten that side and trouble will ensue as you lose dish and bring up the relative tension of the drive side. You'll notice that the drive side (cassette) is tighter than the brake disc side to dish the beastly thing. Price wise it is a little more than some, but it does have can us and is Cobi compatible, and a lot, lot less than top-end bikes.I'll just come out and say it.were the warrantied motors/wheels supplied with the 'upgraded'(?) 2015 version style wheels and if not.should we be switching to the 2015 style wheels (OEM only available?) should our 2014 versions become damaged or end up have the 'truing' issues that Shea, HH and others have described in detail(?).Īlso, Shea described the following method of adjusting his spokes: ". I would prefer the option to dealer- upgrade the seat post to a Body Float (on order) or Thudbuster The saddle is ok, but I would not call it a touring one the battery/power key and the cafe lock key should be keyed alike fenders are fitted too close to the wheel and they can rub - readily fixed though I have ridden it 7 miles without the electronic assist to get warmed up while riding with my wife and did it find it onerous. We tend to mainly use the rear brake, it is more than sufficient and I would rather apply too much pressure to the rear than the front wheel. While I rarely use it, I strongly recommend paying the extra $50 for the boost button. The bikes are sleek, well made and don't scream 'Electric Bike" and very fast it you want it.
