I have EMTB set at +3 for assistance and dynamic.............no idea what the other modes are set at because I never use them! The EMTB settings I have make the bike an absolute dream for my type of riding which is mostly short techy climbs and steep descents in the forest. I never need to use...

On any 1x system the chain is at its most extreme angle to the chainring on the highest and lowest gears. To minimise that thee chain should be straight in line with the chainwheel when on the central cog of the cassette. So that is something you should check first. If you find that is not the...

a worn chain normally causes chain suck...ie it does not release at the bottom of the chainwheel. If the chain is coming off at the top of the chainring I would suspect one of the issues as in my post above.

No chain guide?? Check the chainline...............the chain should be straight when on the middle cassette cog. If that is not the case either the chainring has the wrong offset or possibly a washer/spacer behind the spider ( if indeed there was one) is missing. I assume the bike shop had no...

NX is all Steel but only the last 3 gears are pinned. GX is all steel apart from the 50 or 52t cog (ally) but is fully pinned. Sitting on a XD driver rather than a HG also contributes to making the cassette more secure.......using a HG cassette often leads to the cassette gougeing the splines on...

...never... on any bike.............all with either GX/GX AXS, or X01 mechs. What mech are you using?

Any SRAM Eagle cassette is compatible. Most GX Eagle equiped bike use the SRAM XG 1275 10-50 or 10-52

I rejected the Connect module idea when it was first announced. I'm afraid the bike industry is prone to using technologies like mobile phone connectivity and blutooth neither of which would even be considered as part of a professional business network. The connect module could have been made...

Pinkbike article this morning stating that Pole has filed for bankruptcy??

the type of pads we use work fine when cold.............unlike carbon or race pads used in performance/racing cars they do not require heat to work. We do need the rotor to dissipate heat especially on long downhill descents though.

yes.. assume wiring loom refers to the CAN wiring and probably does not include the battery to motor cable. Overall I was implying that the work done by your LBS appears to be one of simply change a component and see if that fixes it. If the fault is completely dead that is an easier fix than...

what model and year? So in summary your bike has a new battery, new motor, and new wiring loom, and still it causes problems. I note neither the TCU or motor to battery cable were changed during this time which makes me wonder if one of those 2 components is/has been the actual problem. Since...

that little hole is an air gap to allow the bladder to expand.....it is possible some Dot got between the cover and the bladder when you opened the bleed port and when you pressurise the lever the expanding bladder will push that out. that should be a one off however.............if Dot continues...

no experience with these hubs but since the washer has no pin holes it is probably not threaded in...........so must be a press fit. It may come off a bit like an end cap by inserting a tool which is a reasonably tight fit into the centre and levering it side to side. Otherwise an expanding...

Well I will contradict either your coach or your interpetation of what he/she is advising! Assuming the jump has a ramp longer than a bikes length and you have reasonable speed you centre yourself on the bike with slightly bent legs and arms. You do not need to pump because as long as you keep...
