"However, to the best of my knowledge, this problem no longer occurs on the newer frames that have received the updated design." Let's hope so. I am now riding my replaced front triangle, which took a while as Mondraker had to paint it before shipping. Looks amazing BTW. The fact they have a...

it seems pretty prevalent on the Mondraker Ebike FB group, but happy to pitch in here. 1. Yes, on a 2 month old, 600km 2025 crafty r frame 2. awaiting new front triangle, been 22 days so far with no news - considering forcing a refund 3. NA 4. not that I'm aware of, only online intelligence...

Love folks that follow up on posts, thank you, good find, in the books.

I've stayed here with friends before, perfect location, rooms were fine, ample storage and charging, bike wash etc etc As a bonus the coffees, breakfast, lunch, dinner and beers were excellent too :-) https://ridersretreatglentress.com/

Thanks all, really useful and interesting. Funnily enough, I've chosen the same 4 levels with settings pretty close to @Plummet (just a bit lower power and torque on the Eco+ and Tour+). In addition, I think I have assistance only on +1 in the top 2, but dynamic on +1 for all (assuming that...

Hi, then yes, this is not between the dropper and the frame, but where the dropper stanchion enters the lower fixed portion of the dropper. A little play here is quite normal (fore/aft, but also a little rotation). Check the dropper collar is nice and tight (the bit with the writing on it, usual...

Like MickMTB, shredda F&R has made riding in slop not just do-able, but actual fun. Ridiculous amount of grip in loose, wet, slop, mud, wet roots and rocks etc etc. Second the opinion that it is a battery killer. It's 1 or 2 gears slower for same power output. For almost all normal trails...

Just to check - is the play between the fixed position 'lower' tube of the dropper and the seat tube of the frame, or where the dropper stanchion enters the lower tube of the dropper? (Jeez, that was harder to ask than I thought, never had to think about what the 2 tubes on the dropper are...

So many options, we all feel your pain! Only safe bet is to get a new bike 😉 Great suggestions above, I'll add from my experience that hasn't been mentioned: - the chainring lockring - seatpost in the frame - a spoke about to let go usually at either the hub or nipple (spokes are a wear item...

I think that must be the number one reason. It's also the reason I am glad, as having just finally bought the only ebike that has the geo and features and I want/need that happens to have a Gen 5 Bosch, I would rather like them to stay in the eeb business to support my warranty claims. I know...

I'm coming down he the dales for easter hols with the family, I will find you. I will demand the £6 difference :)

I did, not arrived yet, shipping was pricey! There was one at LordGun, but I assume someone on this thread bought it before I could check it out of my basket :-)

I did not know such a thing existed, brilliant! Ordered.

Hi, I am new to Bosch, coming from Giant (a 2022 reign E+). On the giant, you could fiddle a bit with the modes, but it was basically 1-5 with a linear increase in power and pretty much on/off support. Bosch feels V different, would love to know how folks have set their's up. can you share? It...

Hi, Crankarm bolts are self-extracting, so just undo in usual direction, noting that once initially loosened it may feel like it gets tighter before loosening again - this is the self-extractor working. The spider won't need to be changed (unless something terrible has happened to it!) or...
