The difficult part here is if you fuck it up the motor is a write off. Not to mention Shimano won't help for shit and will just demand you buy a new motor. How does Bosch implement the 25kmph limit? Is it firmware based with different firmware for EU / NA? Is it just a matter of dumping the NA...

Just looking at the eurosport TV schedule I don't see the Mens or Womens elite DH final live up there. Only Fridays XC short track along with some replays. https://www.eurosport.com/tvschedule.shtml "Free highlights of all broadcast races will also be available on GCN+ (account needed but no...

Does anyone have the bearing / headset sizes for the e-sommet 2021? I saw this headset on CRC, but the fork is tapered 1.8"? https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/acros-azx-589-headset/rp-prod211650 But the headset information seems to suggest its 1.5". Acros AZX-589 Sealed bearings, ZS56/28.6 –...

Is it possible it was so cold the metal shrunk allowing a small bit of air to be slowly leaking out? -18c will only account for so much in air pressure drop, this is something else.

pretty sure all motors rattle, some a bit louder than others.

Very nice, it looks to be specced quite well. Higher level components where I'd personally want them. Wouldn't mind trying a Bosch system out. What did that cost you? Would consider one for my next bike.

Thanks, I figured it out. The lower shock mounting hardware and bushing are 8x30 for the Vitus Esommet 2021. This is what I bought in the end: https://www.bike-discount.de/de/fox-racing-crush-washer-al-8mm-buchsenset

I also have a vitus e-sommet. Higher speced VRS. I'd agree with the thoughts it hates flatter trails. It just doesn't work on them it needs steeper stuff. It can somewhat struggle on tighter turns, particularly steep switchbacks. But when it comes to charging through straight techy stuff it just...

Can anyone confirm for me if this is all I need for a new shock to mount to the 2021 E-sommet? https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/vitus-e-sommet-mount-shock-bolt-kit-2021/rp-prod200349

Don't be, you only hear about the motors with issues. And most of it seems to come from water damage which shouldn't be too much of an issue in Florida. also Welcome.

My 2021 Zeb had quite a bit of air leakage in the lower leg of the air spring leg. A quick burp once I realized the issue and the issue was gone never occurred again.

The e8000 does throw an error if it overheats. If you are towing someone or are a heavy rider on sustained long steep climbs in boost and its putting out peak power. This seems to occur more often if you have a speedbox fitted. I observed all of this on a friends bike.

Theres a video in the amazon review. Personally if its an ebike I wouldn't use it. If its a normal bike I'd chance it standing back and being careful around bearings and seals. Its way too high pressure though. Personally I use one of these, its 130 psi and decent enough for the money...

Seat tube length is 405mm on the size small according to: https://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=152272 27.2mm is the seat post diameter. So you should be able to fit this 105mm dropper...

I've been looking around for 118 link 12 speed chains and can't seem to find any sellers of them other than aliexpress or chinese sellers. My chain breaker can't seem to remove a link from my 12 speed chain. How have others managed here? I'm guessing bike shops may be able to request these from...
