    I like to flip my bikes over to work on them BMX style, and this activates/ damages my e-bike controllers. Ideas?

    I've got these, they work well and fit quite firmly onto the grips so they don't rotate or fall off...

    Strive:on gen5

    It doesn't look different enough from the old one to make me want to buy one. The cables now entering the through the frame rather than the headset is obviously a bonus but the KIS system looks like a gimmick that I'd probably disconnect. I think I'll keep riding my old one until it breaks.

    Upgraded after market derailleur cages for T-Type transmissions

    Yeah, stock jockey wheels. They were originally GX but I upgraded to X0 when they wore down, they don't seem any different. Slightly off topic but I was a little bit unsure of whether or not to invest in a Transmission groupset but I'm glad I did. It's been absolutely flawless for the last two...

    Upgraded after market derailleur cages for T-Type transmissions

    I've had the Ratio SR52T cage for around 18 months. I'm not sure if it's that much better than the SRAM original but it's holding up well to a lot of abuse including getting caught in the spokes when my rear axle came loose. With the more rounded design it seems to glance off rocks better and...

    Anyone have experience with E*Thirteen Helix Core OR Helix Race E spec cranks?

    They're quite similar, the pedals are a bit of a lighter shade.

    Anyone have experience with E*Thirteen Helix Core OR Helix Race E spec cranks?

    I'm fairly certain that those are self extracting but you know for certain when you turn the 8mm hex a good few turns anticlockwise. If the crank comes off, all good. If the centre bolt comes out and the crank stays attached you'll need a crank extraction tool like this...

    Anyone have experience with E*Thirteen Helix Core OR Helix Race E spec cranks?

    Hello MJO The cranks have been really good so far. They've taken a few hits but are both still straight and look almost new. You don't need any special tools, just an 8mm hex to install and remove as they're self extracting. You probably don't need a torque wrench you can just get them nice...

    2024 Strive:ON

    The 26mm offset will definitely work, the 21mm offset might not work. I replaced with E*13 Helix Race e-spec Cranks 26.5mm offset and they work well. I haven't tried anything less than that.

    Canyon Strive:ON CFR - snapped rear triangle

    Maybe you can share the full story after you've received the new frame? 😉 Anyway, it's good to hear that Canyon are looking after you, I hope you're back out there soon!

    2024 Strive:ON

    Hello, I wouldn't, sorry it was a typo. I'd definitely go for the Tech 4 / V4 and have got those on my Strive:On. I've got Tech 3 on the manual bike. They're ok but the Tech 4 levers are much smoother with more modulation.
