I tried the pre slimed tubes but I still got punchers. I just drill the rim out to ,I think, 8mm then fit Schrader valved tubes and stick half a big £15 bottle in each tyre.
I've not had a puncher ages now. I did have some trouble with a leaking valve due to slime when I tried to adjust tyre...
It just feels a bit loose compared to a new bike, also I would like a bigger bike if possible.
I've rebuilt my motor 3 times now and the frame bearings once. It's also on its second front wheel and third rear wheel. I've been looking at second hand emtb's and it's surprising how many have less...
What do people consider to be the best 150mm travel Bosch emtb with external battery? I would think it will have to be second hand but that's no problem. In fact I would prefer second hand mostly for price but also I've rebuilt my 2nd gen? CX ,small sprocket, a few times now.

I sold all my motorbikes (road and dirt) after getting the emtb because the freedom and ease of use means you can go out when you want .

I no longer run maxxis tyres.
Your over thinking it, just get a normal ebike, turn it up or down as required, be happy.(y)
If you're not carrying it over styles every few yards you won't notice any weight difference.
You will however notice when the half size battery goes flat.
I have just bent one of my cranks on my ktm. I think this is my second or third set to fail somehow.
I like the hope cranks but they state "does not fit Bosch gen 3 BNI spindle".
I assume this means they dont fit the gen 3 cx with the small sprocket?
