Hi all, I'm UK based and looking for a new bike to replace a 2022 Trek Rail alloy with 625w battery, and could do with some help making a shortlist. The Rail has been great, my main criticism is that it is heavy - around 25kg on my scales with mudguards etc on it making it hard work to throw...

I don't think so, as I'm turning the crank the chainring isn't actually moving

The bike has 3000km on it and is well out of warranty. I've started to notice a new issue: When pedalling on the flat it feels like I often have about a quarter of a rotation of free stroke in the crank before it engages. This feels pretty disconcerting but other than that the motor seems to...

I'm amazed you've had to replace after 600 miles. I've got 3000km on mine. Most bearings including the main pivot are still totally smooth. (I've had the frame apart a few times) The ABP ones are a bit rough but ok after a regrease. I never jet wash it though and rarely wash at all! Oh and I...

Thanks for the confirmation.. seems like I might be out of options for steepening the HTA then - other than expensive ones like replacing the fork or shock. From what I understand an offset bushing will only slacken and can't be reversed. An angleset doesn't work with the knock block either I...

If the blue spacer is removed then sag is set up to the same % of the new travel amount, will the bike geo become slacker? I'm running a mullet with mino link high and tried a 170mm air shaft in the fork but found it too slack with the fork at 20% sag.. and too soft with the fork at 25% sag...

Any updates on making a batch of these? ta!

I'm 5'7 and on a medium 2022 - it is slightly smaller than my previous bike and fits well - wouldn't want it any smaller. I can highly recommend going mullet for shorter riders at least, much easier to turn and to lift the front up for bunny hops and manuals.

Has anyone tried the FSA CK 220 155mm crank? They are a third of the price of hope!

Glad to hear its working for you :) That BB height of 344 was already in the high position which is not exactly high compare to other manufacturers. The 2022 Levo has 344mm BB with the flipchip in low position though I guess that is already a mullet so perhaps not comparing like for like. This...

I'm keen to mullet my 2022 Rail 9 alloy but am concerned about the low BB height that might result. I suffered several pedal strike related crashes on my old Vitus e-sommet. The geo chart states BB height of 344mm in high position. Swapping to a 27.5 rear wheel will drop the BB around 13mm...

Looking to make a shortlist of full fat ebikes with the following: - 160mm to 180mm travel, - not stupidly heavy (24kg tops) - chainstays not too long as I will be on a small or medium sized frame so around 445mm max - happy with a 500W battery, anything bigger is a bonus What bikes should I...

Hi, I have the e8000 and need to warranty, I have set the region back to EU from US in STunlocker using FW 4.0.2 then updated to latest FW. From reading this thread it seems possible that this region change could still be logged and visible when I take it to the shop? Would it be sensible to...

For the record, I finally connected using pin 123456, kind of odd as the default pins are afaik 4 digit and 1234 or 0000

Can anyone help, for some reason I can no longer connect either app with bluetooth. They both ask me to enter PIN (which I never set afaik). I have had the PIN reset to default by a shimano service center but I still get "Bluetooth connection interrupted" on etube or "Wrong PIN..." on...
