knee/shin are better particularly if hardshell, as they cant be dragged down your leg as easily. Mine have saved me more times than I care to remember: https://ixs.com/en/mtb/mtb-equipment/protection/3024/cleaver-knee-shin-guards-black

$100 takes the piss!

mine was always doing it. Loctite. Or replace everything with Shimano XT, better option I've found :-)

Yes several have had warranty batteries. Mine was tested on the specialized battery testing rig thing, and it passed. I had the 3rd flashing light symptom too. It would randomly not turn on, it never failed once on though. Issue went away after a new warranty battery . I don't see how...

Or you could call the phone number and ask to look at the bike at their "shop" :-)

They are also selling an unusual collection of mobility scooters and sheds. The business address is a residential address, and with only a mobile phone number. Presumably this is someone importing and directing stuff straight to consumers, or is it all some sort of scam?

You don’t have to buy new, have a look at Ebike motor centre

They must have removed them on the SL to save 0.0000001g weight. you could remove the shock, and rotate the rear triangle to see if it frees off, most of the friction seemed to come from where it comes out of the main frame/motor area and into the chain stay.

Does the chain not still feel gritty after that though? if you twist the links, does it graunch with the grit, or does it feel completely smooth? Might have to give this a go!

what are you doing in between rides? Surely mud/sand etc is still getting into the chain, how are you getting that out without removing the wax?

are you aware there are cable clips under the shock that needs to be removed or at least loosened?

I put an Ohlins TTX on after my 3rd air shock failure. This was pretty much my experience too. Makes the back end feel track the ground more closely.

Ebike motor centre will hopefully reply soon.

are you sure its not chain/mech/jockey wheels ?
