Can anyone tell me if I swap out my broken e8000 motor for another used e8000 motor do I need to plug it into a computer and have the shimano software to get it going our will it just work? And anything else I need to know? Thx

Hi all, My ebike has been at my local bike shop for several months for a suspect battery issue which turned out to be a faulty motor. I decided to get the bike back from the shop while I consider what to do with the bike and if I want to put a new motor on it at the cost of over £1000. It...

So my bike has been at the bike shop for the last 2 months with a not turning on issue, Shimano E8000 motor. First off they tested if it was a battery issue by using another battery and it still wouldn't turn on. They then said they were going to sent the motor to Shimano and needed my purchase...

I have a 2018 Sam2 with the Shimano E8000 motor. A few weeks back I put it on charge, then managed to dislocate me ankle and forgot about the bike for over a week. When I came back to it the battery was totally dead and the bike wouldn't turn on, it doesn't charge. When plugged in the charger...

In the last couple of weeks I've started having issues with my e8000 turning on. I hold the button and the display turns on as normal but often it will turn off again after a few seconds. It doesn't matter if I press buttons on the display of the controller or if I start riding. This only...

I've just installed a SRAM 10-52 cassette with the AXS system. I followed the SRAM guide for setting the chain length and it was total crap, the chain was so long it had sag in the smallest cog. I've shortened the chain a bit more and it's better but I'm not sure if it's still a little too long...

When installing new rims today I had a blonde moment and put the wrong valve into the rim. I’ve inflated the tire without any sealant to bed the tire in but now I can’t reflate the tire as the cushcore is blocking the hole in the valve 🤦‍♂️ Anyone have any ideas on how to deflate? I’ve tried...

How do you go about refreshing your tire sealant when you have a cushcore installed? It can be a struggle to get the tires on and off with a cushcore I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks for doing this?

Hi, So I'm looking at upgrading to the sram gx axs wireless shifters and just trying to work out what I would need to get in order for it to work. I appear to have a bit of a mix and match situation going on with my SAM2: Sram NX derailleur Sram X1 shifter Sram 11 speed cassette Shimano chain...

Anyone else had issues with the acros headset on the Focus bikes? Mines not been ridden all that much but has already started crunching. Took it apart and the bottom bearing is toast. I'm replacing with a Hope headset. Got everything removed, just waiting for the new headset to arrive. One...

I'm looking for some advice. So I have the POC vid air knee pads and they are brilliant, fit well and I can't even notice I'm wearing them. I thought I's get some of the elbow pads too. Unfortunately I think I'm in-between the medium and the large size, I got the large size and they just slip...

So it looks like the new ep8 motor has the "Same frame mount as DU-E8000/DU-7000", sweet! (Info here) I wonder if it will be a straight swap out for an E8000 or if there will need to be other components changed as well.

I've been mountain biking since the days before suspension forks were a common sight on the trails, when there were no disc brakes and you had to use a lot of fingers on the brake lever to be able to stop yourself. I've never got myself out the habit of using 2 fingers to brake, but thought I'd...

Hi, The cap has fallen off of the bottom bracket crank arm on an E8000 shimano motor and I've not been able to find it anywhere so having to order a replacement. Is anyone able to confirm if this is the correct part I would need? Shimano Deore LX FC-M582 Crank Arm Fixing Bolt This is the...

I can't say I've paid much attention to this before... The other day I was messing around popping wheelies, had the bike in turbo mode and was going from very slow riding to putting the power down then stopping peddling. I noticed that when I stopped peddling the motor would continue to drive...

Thought I'd link a video review of the Focus SAM² as there are not many reviews of this bike out there. Having gone on 2 short rides myself I'd agree with everything in the review. Only stuff I'd add on the negative side is the slightly odd mix of Shimano and SRAM components doesn't make the...

I've just called my house insurance to up the limit of the policy and they will only cover a single bike up to £1500 which is no where near enough and they will not go any higher. Does anyone have recommendations for bike insurance in the UK that is not a silly price? I'm really only looking for...

All of my past bikes have had shimano kit on, not because I particularly like shimano just because thats what has come on the bike so I've stuck with it. My new bike has sram NX 11 speed gears and I really dislike them, the shifter button placement is so awkward to use its like they designed...

Hi, I've just got my new bike and thought I'd convert it to tubeless but having a bit of trouble. I have raceface AR30 rims and maxxis minion dhf tyres. Both are tubeless ready. I took off the tyre and there was already tape covering the spoke holes (I assumed I didn't need to add more tape)...

Hi, this is my first post here. I've been mountain biking since I was about 12 and I'm now 40. About 7 years ago I became ill with M.E. (also known as chronic fatigue syndrome) and I've been able to ride very little in this time. Right now I could probably ride about 1/2 a mile to a mile off...
