I've set it as per the shop's guidance which was to have the arm pointing down at 90 degrees to the belt. Making my own is likely out of my skillset 🤣

Let us know how you get on. I forgot to mention, last week I had the belt come off, it was absolutely caked in ice and mud though, which got under the belt into the rear cog and likely pushed the belt off the teeth. The combo of low gear where the torque is much higher as going up a steeper...

Yeah love the bike, was out in the slop yesterday, riding through deep puddle after deep puddle 🤣 On Monday I couldn't get up a very slimy clay hillside, rear wheel just spinning and then me slipping all over the place trying to walk up it. I think I may have to consider a new dropper, perhaps...

One other thing, how do you guys get on with the dropper post? For me it's a bit on the crap side, works fine if off the bike but on the bike it ain't great at all. The Bontrager one on my old Rail was flawless for nearly 6 years.

Been out a few times on mine now, love the gear change! The zeb fork and shock combo make the bike feel great even though I'm a bimbler rather than out and out search for the gnar rider 🤣 Went up some steep climbs and it went up them great. I do still prefer the feel of the Bosch motor power...

@Flog did I spot your bike on EMBN by any chance? 😃

Cheers guys. It was the hex key I had, the wera ones I use have almost a taper to them so they don't fit if the hex slot is buried slightly like on the Haibike.

@Flog , @Frompi This might be a stupid question but how do you remove the rear wheel? It's a hollow rear axle with what looks like 2 hex sizes, the larger outer fits an 8mm and the inner fits a 6mm. If I try the outer, it is absolutely solid whereas the inner doesn't seem to loosen up after I...

Cheers Steve. Yep, it was how I contacted you a few years ago for the rides around Pines :LOL: The Rail is now sold, someone indeed did get an absolute bargain but I get a few quid back towards the Haibike and someone carries on riding it and are happy with it. Seeing as Rails only a year to a...

Sadly not been out yet, had to wait for a dry patch to get it properly washed and dried to then apply the film and then ceramic coating goes on straight after,vin theory that's tomorrow and then a very quick test out on it. Proper ride out soon even if it rains 😯😂. Part of the reason I opted for...

Well it's here now, just sorting out frame protection film and a ceramic coating and also had to rethink storage which didn't quite work out as planned but just about works 🙂 It's not a 10 though 🫣

It's finding a place not too far from me that I can test one, the remaining issue is the reach (large frame ) , 15mm more than my 2020 Trek Rail but the medium is 15mm less than the Rail 🤣 Where did you guys test yours?

Thanks mate, still deciding at the moment 🙂

Sorry @Flog , one more measurement, the width of the down tube if possible please? Slightly concerning the battery cover doesn't clip in that well with the price of these bikes 🙄

Perfect, cheers @Flog
