    New ep8 - crank play.

    My previous E8000 ebike had 3 motors. All had that play. None of the motors lasted more than 1400 miles. My current EP8 bike is still on the original motor and is coming up for 3100 miles. There is no play in this motors crankshaft. Can you tell I'm not superstitious..:)

    Shock Trunnion bolt alternatives? +warning to others

    Yeah, They're fine just spent lots with them but the whole eu/brexit thing is a pain. Also there is a minimum spend with them from the uk.

    New Vitus ESommet Headset Bearing replacement

    Hi Matt, My HS press was no use for this job. The largest press was too small for the bottom cup and, as the cables were still in when I did the bottom, the normal press could not be located in the top. I used a block of wood at the bottom and a bar with a threaded hole (actually the handle...

    New Vitus ESommet Headset Bearing replacement

    You don't need to remove the cables to replace the bottom bearing but you will have to remove the HS cup from the frame as the bearings are not available separately. I had to resort to a drift to remove the bottom cup. The replacement Acros bottom cup includes a new crown race; If you have had...

    Answered Weird seized maxle problem

    Lots of foam/soft cloth around the LHS chain/seat pivot. Bike solidly supported horizontally at the pivot. Drift the loosened axle out with increasing force till it moves while turning the Maxle if possible. good luck with it.

    Back to back first impressions; E-Sommet 18'VR versus 21'VRX.

    The TTX seems to be a good match for the Zeb ultimate. When it bottoms out it is usually cos I've fucked up and cased something hard, which has happened a few times when i run out of speed/talent pedalling a 25kg bike into a gap :(. Think u will find it suits the coil.:D

    Back to back first impressions; E-Sommet 18'VR versus 21'VRX.

    Hi there, the 21 VRX is still impressing at 300 miles and I can now confirm that the bike crashes well ? ? . WRT the rear spring I'm 85Kg kitted up and a 525LB spring on the TTX coil shock gives me +/-20% sag. I think that spring rate should be good on any make of coil shock for that rider...

    All mtn 7. Ridden 38 times... And now this..

    Yeah, Lots of new riders coming to emtbs. They are paying £4K+++ for a bike and expect it to work. Problem is the drive trains are all still designed on 1 manpower input and the motors are modified car wiper units. Motor manufacturers are not helping by taking a "blackbox" attitude with No...

    Guide RE with 220mm rotors?

    The cup/conical washer is dictated by the caliper. For example if you were using a Guide caliper instead of Guide RE caliper then the cup/cone spacer would not be required.

    Guide RE with 220mm rotors?

    Yeah, I just checked what I bought, the SB001 mount I bought was from dirthut and was a 180-203. That doesnt seem to be available now. but the mount I linked will certainly be fine for the OP who was looking for 220 mount.
