Bosch motor MTB,

[grieko]

Motor with 13 tooth sprocket. General: mus with grass leaves an tree needles is a dissater. ONly chain suck, under that conditions, sometimes not possible to ride at all. To walk to find a better place. Cube and Bosch do nothing, only try to explain to me that i'm the only one with that problem. I did change sprocket, and chain.. after 500 km. Did not help at all.. Sorry to say wrong design to get more power and less battery consupten I believe.

Its an issue that has been bought up in several reviews of the motor

There are a few anti chain suck devices out there, Lapierre make a specific one for Bosch. I have one, but not fitted as winter is not here yet, I got it from Race Co in Stourbridge, but stock is always very low or non existent

How much was that?
Did you need to tap the mounting holes yourself?

 

[Doomanic]

Moustache also do one.

Lappierre here; GUIDE CHAINE LAPIERRE - La Roue Libre for €65
Also available from ebikeshop for £80 but only if you bought your bike from them so fuck those guys.

Hmm, I don't think mine are tapped. Expensive though so I hope it works well.

Does it drag the chain? also is it Moustache specific or Bosch specific as a mate with a Scott needs something?

 

[Doomanic]

Does it drag the chain?

No idea, sorry. I don't have one yet.
It's Bosch specific but motor covers may need trimming.

When I buy a for me very expensive bike I don't want to spend a lot of money to solve contruction problems. I did try some and the only reaction: "you did work on the bike so tthre is no more garantee.

I bought a bike from him so if anyone wants spares that he has drop me a line and I will get them. Oh and I wont be buying another from him

The tooth profile is not conform standard thooths, special made to guide the chain, without facing the problems come from that.

I have 15T not sure why you have 13T? is it a 650b vs 29er thing?

also though I reckon your trouser guards will be collecting a retaining crud - so ditch them if you can mine came looking like this and I have had no suck what so ever.

I went from standard 16t down to a 14t and it completely eliminated and chain suck that I use to get. Believe it was a sram narrow wide 14t, I'm currently looking for a 13t that will work

Off topic but did you notice much difference in the climbing ability or drop in speed for a given cadence as you've reduced the gearing?

Massive difference, one of the best mods I've done. I'm no longer going with the EX1 setup so looking for a 13t now
