    Grand Canyon On 7 charging port replacement.

    I have this issue too, how did you get on? Do I attempt to glue the parts back together or fit a new charging port - I need to decide, but any advice you have would be appreciated. Do you have the exact party number, I’m thinking it’s SHIMANO EW-CP100. Thanks.

    Change Gear Cable Meta Power 2019 - How simple is it?

    Please can someone let me know how much hassle I'm in for here. I need to change the gear cable, can I slide out & in new cable (and new outer) without dropping the motor out. from memory when I dropped the motor before the cable outer had foam damping around it and may not slide too easily...

    What do you HATE when we buy a new bike and e-bike ?

    Probably a bit late on this thread, it seems to have changed course...I can honestly say I don't hate any part of getting a new bike, in fact it's a great feeling. Everything I've ever ordered (physical goods wise) has been in line with my expectations, I've always expected to supply my own...

    Who’s kept their acoustic bike and why?

    I cannot say no to jelly sweets. I'm an ex rugby player who struggles to get near 90kg and can demolish a pizza by looking at it. Ironman = bucket list thing and is about survival, estimate 14 hours....Luckily (???) it's been deferred to this year so I have to do all training again...

    Who’s kept their acoustic bike and why?

    Yep, got a 29 Carbon Stumpjumper which I like to ride. I enjoy riding it when it's dry and I've got no time pressure and i just want to be outside and spinning! Last year I was training for an Ironman and used it to do low intensity rides.

    Unanswered Nerves

    Speed is your friend. Don't try and fly down however!! Find a speed that means you don't wobble with hesitation as that can cause you to tumble. And as others have said build up to it, picture it in your head and enjoy the rush as you nail it. Everyone has a limit, there is nothing better...

    Bit of a bummer ..but never mind !

    When I had it, I was desperate to be back cycling, I went on my turbo trainer on about day 8 as I thought I was feeling better. I couldn’t get out of bed for 2 days after and my heart was much faster than normal for a good while after. Basically don’t underestimate it as a virus and wait until...

    How long before you change your bike?

    Hello, I have a META POWER RACE 2019 , which is a great bike, perfectly capable etc. Shimano E8000 / 504wh is fine and if I was unaware of other motor / battery developments, I'd happily stick with it. Is E8000 toast compared to newer motors? My question is how long before you change bike...
