    considering Kiox to nyon retrofit

    thanks, although it has custom modes, that would definitely count as a derestriction chip, which is not something I want to do.

    considering Kiox to nyon retrofit

    hi all I have kiox on a scott e-genius 2020 model. kiox is mounted on the stem cap. I have been riding much more for fitness recently and realised I would like less assist than even Eco, from the motor during most of a ride. I stopped using Emtb several months back, and never ever use turbo. I...

    Eagle PG1230 NX Eagle 3rd cog bent / Stiffer 12x cassette EMTB specced

    this isn't tooth wear, its the actual cog bending. although wear could be a contributor to less-than-perfect shifts that could have caused the bend itself, I'm convinced its the construction method that allows the bend to happen. I've compared the PG-1230 to an XG-1275 cassette and the...

    Eagle PG1230 NX Eagle 3rd cog bent / Stiffer 12x cassette EMTB specced

    my EMTB, scott e-genius, has sram nx eagle 12x PG1230 cassette. standard splined freehub. recently towards the end of a ride I noticed some gears become unusable, it turned out the 3rd largest cog (36T) has a significant (about 4mm) away-from-the-wheel bend in it for about 3 teeth-worth, almost...

    Has anyone bought the range extender for the 2020 Genius or Strike?

    the front is an RRP pro bolt on the rear is two , one on top of the other, with hot-glue holding them together where they overlap. thats the only combo I could find to get the coverage . lower one protecting the shock is a mucky nutZ long upper one protecting my back is a zefal RS75

    Has anyone bought the range extender for the 2020 Genius or Strike?

    yes those look exactly like the parts that came in my kit. I'd not seen them sold separately before but I am sure that is it. the bosch battery mount kit bolts to the scott-specific frame plate, and then that frame plate bolts to the down tube, rather than bolting directly as shown in that link.

    Has anyone bought the range extender for the 2020 Genius or Strike?

    the bike shop knew I was going to use dual battery as I bought the bike and the kit from them, so they may have programmed it in advance, I don't know. if it needs something, I'd assume that any bike shop that has the bosch dealer kit to do upgrades etc would be able to do it. It'll run fine...

    Has anyone bought the range extender for the 2020 Genius or Strike?

    what country are you in? I got mine from these guys , this is the Y cable, they will only sell it with a bike but you could ask : Bosch eBike Dual Battery Cable Kit. the rest of the kit was what looked like standard bosch powerpack mounting hardware. plus the scott frame-specific mounting plate...

    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    I did the job with the 2ft breaker bar and a 1/2" hex-end socket set ALLEN KEY / HEX BIT SOCKET SET US PRO TOOLS 1/2" Drive 4mm to 17mm 3383 | eBay. Bike propped in corner against wall so it can't go forwards, right foot on right pedal, full weight, then transfer 1/2 weight to left foot on...

    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    yep, I was pretty sure that was how it worked, just wanted to see if it was that. as there is no definitive manual for this exact setup that I can find. I've got some 1/2" drive hex bits on order now, so I can connect them directly to my breaker bar, waiting for those to turn up before trying...

    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    thanks, that is what I was afraid of. if it was a wheel nut on the car, I'd use a 2 foot breaker bar as the wrench and stand on the end (holding the bonnet or roof for stability). Achieving the same leverage on a bike is a lot more difficult. any tips? need to stop the crank moving as well as...

    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    can anyone give any tips as to how to get the cranks off bosch gen4 ebike? I have a scott genius e-ride 2020. The website spec says the cranks are SRAM X1. they are certainly SRAM. I want to change the chainring (currently has SRAM direct mount boost 34T) to a smaller 30T. I have bought raceface...

    Bosch CX gen 4 chainring nut

    thanks. we're on exactly the same thoughts - I need to use emtb or turbo for my knees to cope with a 50-60 cadence up a hill. I'd rather be in eco or tour at 70-80 cadence to ride with non-motor family. If I am by myself doing a "downhill bombing session" then I emtb or turbo it up the hills at...
