Nice looking Specialized Rockhopper Comp with TSDZ2 and also Trek Marlin 6

Specialized Rockhopper Comp
Advanced butted aluminium



They are two and a half years and almost 10000 km made with the motor. Mounted on an old and unwieldy front.
But never left on foot for now in all my laps in the plains, hills and mountains, with average height differences over 1500 m.
Greased maintenance every 4000km
Replaced Teflon gear with metal and fixed gear bearing gear wheel crown side.
Two crowns initially mounted coupled to the 34 and 52 spiders.
never had problems x the chain even if offset despite my weight of almost 100 kg and the pushing effort.
The assistance used is almost always Speed ​​and the 14.5 battery never fully discharged in the mountains on a drop of 1500m. Battery at 25%.
I hope to continue like this.

-------------------  --------------

This is a nice build of Trek Marlin 6 with a 73 mm bottom bracket. Also Tongsheng TSDZ2. I think this is a 2016 or 2017 model. Color oragne, called firebrand. Cables goes with the top tube which is nice for converting. External cable routing makes it a nice fit.

I believe the brakes are hydralic (Tekro).

I don't know if the Tongsheng TSDZ2 will fit a Trek Marlin 7 because of the internal cable routing.
