    What's the worst value ebike currently available?

    I realise value can be perceived differently so try to keep this just for fun & light-hearted! Just been looking at what I could replace my 2022 Reign E+ with & my research has got me thinking, we all look for the best value, so what's the worst value ebike currently on the market, in your opinion?

    Bushing to bearing mount shock?

    Hi all! Does anyone have experience replacing a bushing mounted shock with a bearing mounted one? I've found a Fox Float DPX that should be a decent upgrade from the stock shock on my non-ebike ('21 Norco Fluid FS). The Fox shock uses a bearing mount rather than a bush though. From the limited...

    203mm Centrelock rotors with magnet attachment recommendations?

    Hi all! I'm unsure which reasonably priced 203mm centrelock rotors to buy. Ideally I'd like them to be 2mm thick & one piece. They must be able to accommodate a speed sensor magnet somehow. Any recommendations? The Magura MDR-C centrelock rotors don't appear to have the hole for a magnet to fit...

    Giant Reign E+ not fully charging, charger issue?

    Hi all! I have a 2022 Giant Reign E+0 that regularly stops charging around 85-92% ish. I think it's an issue with the charger itself as when I unplug the charger from the bike the green LED remains flashing meaning it's 'charging' whereas it should go back to solid red (not charging). If I power...

    2022 Giant Reign E+ rear hub bearing replacement

    The bearings in my Giant DBL rear hub & freehub require replacement. Does anyone know exactly what hub this is? It's a DT Swiss something, 350? Is it just a case of punching them out & press new ones in with a suitably sized socket, or will I need a proper bearing extractor & press kit? Thanks!

    SRAM Code RSC brakes noisy

    The brakes on my Giant Reign E+0 are really noisy, they use metal pads (gold backed) which I know can be noisy on initial bite but jeez these are so loud I can't bear it! I've swapped pads & cleaned rotors several times but they're always the same. Is it just the pads causing this? I have read...

    Squeal noise Giant Syncdrive Pro/Yamaha PW-X3

    My Giant Syncdrive Pro (Yamaha PW-X3 underneath, I believe) makes an odd noise. It only happens when pedalling at high cadence with little torque input on the pedals, and it's a chirpy squeal noise. I had a PW-X2 in the past that made a similar noise. Anyone else experiencing this same noise...

    Are all Acros headsets junk?

    Just seen a third Across headset premature failure. One came fitted on my Vitus Sentier, it lasted two rides before seizing up and the lower bearing was made of pure rust inside & out. One came on my Scott Genius and whilst it did a little better than above, it started creaking like made within...

    Yamaha PW-X3, power delivery on the flat?

    Hi all! I'm looking at a couple of bikes with the Yamaha PW-X3. I've experience with the PW-X2 which I liked however when riding along on the flat the power tended to ramp up & down constantly, which my current Bosch Gen 4 does not do. Does anyone have experience with the PW-X3, and could...

    What size QR dropout is this?

    Hi all, Currently building a DIY gravel/commuter e-bike based around a Pinnacle Pyrolite frame I acquired as a bare frame and forks. The rear dropout is quick release, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to fit a 135 or 142mm axle? It measures 137mm and can be either squeezed to fit 135 or just...

    Do Scott ebikes not get much love?

    Hi all, whilst deliberating ebikes recently I noticed that Scott don't seem to crop up too much compared to many other brands. So, just a general query, why do you think this is? I barely knew they made one until I stumbled across the eRide 920. For the money it's extremely hard to beat, I love...

    Hi from flat & boring Lincolnshire!

    Hi all, just bought my first eeb! Previously had an analogue hardtail but I'm getting old, my knees are iffy & back isn't perfect so decided it was time. I can't wait to get out for longer, faster & further. So, where should I be going? Sherwood Pines isn't too far from here but guessing I'd be...
