The issue with the bike not turning on after switching it off seems to be an issue with the Bluetooth connection. I noticed you have to disconnect the app everytime after you used it before you switch the bike off, then it doesn't refuse to start again. If you don't, it is as if the bike is...

I don't know if anybody is still following this thread but I've done some more playing around and it's been lots of fun and the end result is even better. I got a 29 front wheel for free and decided to put it on. So to recap where we stand with mods: I made the following changes to my bike: 1...

Based on the kilos you get on tyre, you must be a very light rider. I get a lot less before the tyre is either worn or it throws a bead. The switch ot SRAM is probably due to better deals the get from the manufacturers. There's really not a lot in the product in either performance or weight so...

The mileage you get out of your chain is going to vary greatly depending on you weight, how much power you and the bike combined exert on the chain and what gear/s you spend the bulk of your time in. Then you add the maintenance factors and how dusty the conditions are that you ride in. On my...

He must be enjoying it so much he hasn't got time to come and brag here. ?

It is a normal tapered steerer.

First off your wear seems excessive. I got 1800 km on my Giant with .75 wear. Incidentally both bikes use the same KMC chain that I found to be very durable and your bike has an XT cassette, mine is a SLX cassette. After the first chain was worn to .75 I did replace my cassette with a SunRACE...

I use pc-board cleaner now and then on my battery and bike connectors when I pick up that it becomes too dirty. Also on the inside of my charging adapter. This is purely precautionary but I like having good clean contacts as a break of contact is certain to stop your bike in its tracks. We...

Really strange. The wire that goes to the sensor is quite long. When I removed my motor to lubricate the following engine mounts, I noticed that and actually the whole bunch of wires and plugs in there is very crowded. I noticed on of the very thin wires got exposed, probably through pinching...

Losing the map information sounds like a rights issue. You must allow the app to right to your phone in the settings. I've had that with another app.

That flashing red light is definitely a sensor issue. This could be the sensor, a misaligned magnet, a faulty plug or wiring and of course it is possible that the issue is inside the motor enclosure. Perhaps it could also be related to the sensors of which the 2020 model has 2 more than the...

I agree with what you say. There is another angle also though and that is that it got it of control in Wuhan by the time they implemented the quarantine. A lot of the people that became sick later we probably already infected and then some who thought they were still well continued to infect...

So here in South Africa the annual Cape Epic is going on as usual but two teams have withdrawn. Team Trek Selle San Marco and Specialized. In sure some others will follow.

I have since seen the issues that a group of you guys have experienced. Without more details is difficult to know why although it seems it is related to electronics. In the German forums the people also experienced the same issue and apparently it was sorted when they found out that it was...

Gary sorry if you had a problem. However it is hardly a trend. I have made up my mind based on the bikes in riding with and the general trend that I pick up in the forums. The symptoms that you described sounds like it could easily have been mounting related. If course there can also be issues...
