    Nukeproof Megawatt Owners Thread

    Fyi I think it was 24t ratchet fitted to mine (see attached). Fitting the 54T was so painless, easier than fitting a tyre. Totally tooless too if you don't count removing the wheel and the guy doing the job. The bike feels more stable now (no wandering pedals) in a light gear and I can ratchet...

    Nukeproof Megawatt Owners Thread

    That's a downer I've had good luck with [email protected] with the few questions I have had. Maybe worth leaning on them directly vs dealing with dealers and resellers.

    Nukeproof Megawatt Owners Thread

    Does any one know what ratchet is in the megawatt factory rear hub (DT Swiss H1700 SPLINE 30, 27.5", 6 Bolt, Shimano Microspline Driver, 148x12mm)? For a while I was wondering what felt off with my bike then I realised the engagement is to slow for me. Kind of throws me off balance like the...

    Bosch ABS demonstrated on EMBN

    ABS Always Be Steering as someone preach to me. ABS takes longer to stop but retains steering control. I had a track car on semi slicks I missed ABS on public damp winter roads. Never missed it only rally car even on ice I do have a brake bias adjust and far less likely to encounter something...

    Shimano launch new 2023 Di2 Wireless Shifting for ebikes + EP6

    All I wanted with a rear mech/dropper powered by bike battery and maybe some clever interruption shift where it knew to shift at the top or bottom of a crank stroke to save crunching. I ment 3rd party versions of shimanos freeshift or will they keep it a closed/forbidden system. I doubt they...

    Shimano launch new 2023 Di2 Wireless Shifting for ebikes + EP6

    To me this feel like an apple move with closing off of its system. Like shimano have gone from PC's to Consoles i.e. no upgrade paths any more. I do wonder if 3rd parties can make their own products to work with it. A little disappointed personally because I have the 'old' ep8 🤷‍♂️ and shimano...

    I wonder when the NDA lifts. Was I alone in hoping for a dropper in there too :D

    Shimano launch new 2023 Di2 Wireless Shifting for ebikes + EP6

    So delete if necessary not allowed and I've no idea if this is true but; After GMBN youtube spoke about wireless on the yeti emtb's I looked around and found this site the live page was taken down but the cache version remains; cached link Shimano to Launch New Shifting Modes and Groupsets for...

    Nukeproof Megawatt Owners Thread

    This might be helpful to other owners: I received and email from Evri(Hermes) with a parcel due from wiggle to my parents house :unsure:. I panicked thinking someone hacked my account because I'd placed no orders recently, doubly strange it would go to my parents place. Checked all my cards...

    Van internal bike transportation

    I finished up my 2nd hand Fiamma T4 rack, I wasn't happy with the silver/faded red stood out, So (very much to the wifes dismay) I resprayed it black and 3D printed most of the plastic parts in black plus made a few new bits like the reflector mounts. The rack is for the kids bikes but could...

    Van internal bike transportation

    Lino in the van rubber mat out for now. Annoying because it ate up my time and I really wanted to tint the windows today but I don't want to rush it. Yes I beleive so taking off the front wheel means you can fit bikes behind the front passenger then just remove 2 rear seats. If I was to do a...
