Thanks for the information. Think I will go for the stronger ebike wheel. There is 110g difference in the weight. Don't know if that would make much difference to how the wheel performs.

Or heavier Ebike version? I ride on The Wrekin mostly which has extreme steep sides and also trail routs.

Very interesting thread. I'm on the verge of buying the Fortus 5 SC 30 for my Giant Reign e+2. But the Ebike version is making me think twice. Not sure which one to go for. The lighter SC

What is the health status when fully charged?

Thanks for the explanation. My x2 makes that noise when I cycle the shock. Not noticed any drop in performance yet but will look out for it.

What exactly goes wrong with the X2 and what are the symptoms?

It was a loose battery. When I tightened up the battery I didn't let it tighten until you hear the ratchet. That in combination with some water ingress around where the battery connects to the motor.

You can drink and ride a bike/ebike. There is no alcohol limit and you can't be breathalysed or blood taken. You won't get points on your driving licence or be banned from driving. As is mentioned above you can be prosecuted for riding furiously though.

This is interesting. I almost always shift on full power on very steep inclines. Not had a problem 1100 miles on 12 speed sram.

Thanks for that. It's just what I needed. Great video.

I recently swapped my Sram Code R brakes onto my wife's bike after upgrading my own bike. I disconnected the rear brake pipe from the lever so I could thread it through the frame. Now the brake lever is seized. It won't squeeze inward even though the brake line is not attached.. Any ideas what...

I had this issue and my bike shop diagnosed it as a faulty charger. Giant replaced it under warranty and it has solved the problem

I had this problem. The bike shop I bought it from raised a warranty issue with the charger and replaced the charger. It charged OK with the new charger but I will have to charge a few more times to make sure its OK.

I updated and also noticed the Garmin power readings were very low. The battery use seems to have improved slightly on mine though.
