    Scott Patron 920 Sensor / Magnet location

    Going to answer my own question in case anyone else needs the answer. Scott told me “Some of our Patrons were fitted with external speedsensors and a magnet on the rotor and others with fitted with a magnet on the base of the valve which is referred to as a rim magnet. Details below taken from...

    Bosch CX Error 523001…

    Adding an additional answer, in case anyone has the same issue as I had. Second hand Scott Patron, worked ok on a test ride, bit of course came up with this error when I got it home. Turns out, rim magnet was missing. No idea why, perhaps the previous user used a speed derestrictor, or maybe...

    Scott Patron 920 Sensor / Magnet location

    Hey folks I have a Scott Patron 920 and I'm having some issue with a Bosch 523001 error. Hunting around on the inter webs, it looks the easiest potential fix is a sensor / magnet tweak, after that it seems to get more serious. Looking at the manual, it looks like the sensor should be a hub...

    Winter boots

    I also use the Trailcorss and they're great, but I walk in a pair of Adi gore tex Terrex and the thing to look out for is that the bit under the laces isn't gore tex (well, not on mine anyway). It's fine if water doesn't get to the upper bit, but in heavy rain they just collect water.

    Putting an emtb on a bike rack without the battery

    Had a quick look at that, but on various sites it lists it as 15kg max per bike, 30kg total. But maybe listed incorrectly. I found this one Fabbri Car Rear Mount 2 E-Bike Carrier with 135cm Wheel Tray but can't find any reviews so it might be pants.

    Putting an emtb on a bike rack without the battery

    Thanks for the tips everyone. My mate and I figured out it was a Decathlon bike rack, and a good guesstimate has it at a limit of 30 kilos. Bit too close to the edge for me, I figured we'd be nearing 40 even without the battery so I'm not going to risk it. Protracted negotiations with the...

    Putting an emtb on a bike rack without the battery

    Need some advice. I need to put my bike on my mates tow bar bike rack and although it's a dual bike rack, we're not sure of its load capacity. His bike is quite light, mine is around 25 kilos with the battery, so anyone see an issue with loading it without the battery in it?

    Just noticed.. someone else posted this question, sorry for duplicating a thread. Didn't seem to have an answer though, and the OP doesn't seem active anymore, so anyone else got any ideas?

    Twinloc on Erides

    Hey all I have a Genius 920 eride and have a question about the twinloc. Mine only has two positions, but I thought the twinloc had three ? Is it different on erides or does mine need looking at? (I know lots of people think it sucks, but I'd like to at least give it a try :) ) John

    Hi Ricardo. Hope you don't mind me messaging you. I saw your post about doing the South Downs...

    Hi Ricardo. Hope you don't mind me messaging you. I saw your post about doing the South Downs way, and wanted to ask how you got on with battery life ? I planning to do it later in the year so trying to figure how many miles per day I should allow. Cheers John
