I weigh my 500w battery using known accurate scar and it weighs 7.7 lbs. which is 3.49 kg

I tried. They didn’t bite. I say it’s their lost. ?

I’m also done with derailleur and cassette. Just ordered kindernay. In 18 months and 2600 miles, I’ve been through 4 hangers, 4 cassette, and 3 chains. The first chain last the longest at 1000 miles. For some reason the cog on one of the cassette bent so I had to replace it. Yes I tried bending...

The vii with 20t cog is similar with 10t to 43.8t and with 22t cog 10.6t to 45.8t. I used 50t once in blue moon so I’m thinking of not needing 50t. In the rare occasion I need it I can always switch to turbo.

so did you get to ride one? What’s your take? I’m waiting for your input to pull the trigger

Which hardtail would you recommend, Gary? Especially at this side of the pond (USA)

That’s really awesome. Makes me want to swap my kiox to purion again

my first chain, KMC E12 lasted 1060 miles and I changed it just before it hit 0.7 wear. I do rinse my bike almost after every ride.

That looks great. What brand is that and if there is a link

Bought my bike in May, after first few rides I realized I needed pedals. Bought pedals and grip and saddle. Nothing else until Christmas, which I bought new fork

What mode and/or profile were you running in?

I tried both S/M and L. The reach is better in large but that seat tube problem mean I can’t reach the floor. I’m 173 cm with 30” inseam. I ended up with S/M and increased my stem by 30 mm for a while. Ended putting the 50mm back and happy with it.

I do this all the time now to practice. Much easier actually on the race track as we are trained to rev match when shifting gears. One time I didn’t even realized my clutch slave cylinder weren’t operating until I’m driving in the paddock.

Helicoil and timeserts are proper thread repair. We use it for a lot of racing applications even as critical as engine building, including head bolts which require a lot of torque. I would not hesitate to use it for thread repair. That being said a proper repair is necessary and that depends on...

Maybe we all should bombard Bosch in their social media so they fix this asap
