    Looking for tips on setting up different modes on Bosch Gen 5 with update

    Hi, I am new to Bosch, coming from Giant (a 2022 reign E+). On the giant, you could fiddle a bit with the modes, but it was basically 1-5 with a linear increase in power and pretty much on/off support. Bosch feels V different, would love to know how folks have set their's up. can you share? It...

    Greg - looking for full 29er eeb list for tall people

    Dear Greg, I am 195cm tall, and FWIW, 115kgs. I have ridden an XL mullet Giant Reign E+1 2022 for the last 3 years and 12000kms, and it has always been too short/small. I use a 10mm rise stem with 40mm of spacers and 50mm riser bar, with a 240mm OneUp dropper with 75mm of exposed seatpost above...

    Motor bolt locations and torque Reign E+ 2022 - can anyone help?

    Hi Folks, I'm getting a really annoying clicking, now turning into creaking, from my Reign. It's only under pedalling, in our out of saddle. Have checked and lubed everywhere I can think of, and the only conclusion I am left with is that it is the motor mounting bolts/points with the frame...

    Allowed: 220mm rotors on the rear of Reign E+ ‘22 onwards?

    Hi, have googled this, even asked giant a question directly but got a weird incomplete response (you can see it on the website of the Reign). Can I use, without invalidating my warranty, 220mm rotors on the rear of my 22 Reign E+? I know many of you have, i am a big fella on big mountains...

    BY THE PPOWWWERRRR OF GRAYSKULLLLLLL!!!!! (or, 'how I learned to laugh about changing tires with inserts')

    First of all - inserts are a game changer. Decided to go with Panzer inserts as seemed a good balance based on the Pinkbike reviews. Even with reasonable pressures (30psi plus) and decent sidewalls (Maxxis DD or WTB 'Tough' casings) was getting a lot of rear tubules pinch flats before inserts...

    2022 Reign E+ shock dimensions confirmation

    Hi Folks, I am going to go coil on my Reign, but I just want to make absolutely sure I've got the right specifications. 205x62.5 Trunion - right? That's what the Giant website says. Reason I ask is that the shaft on my X2 shock is nothing like 62.5, it's about 75mm. Which confuses the hell...

    Bio-mechanics folks: why are my knees sore with short cranks (155mm)

    Hi, would appreciate any insight, amateur or otherwise! My normal bikes all have quite high BBs and 175mm cranks. I have long legs and am 6'5" tall. On my 2022 Reign e-bike (glorious BTW), I installed 155mm cranks to deal with low BB and strikes. That works perfectly (also have bike in 'high'...

    Changing brakes on 2022 Reign E+ 1 - couple of questions

    I'm 1 month into E+ 1 ownership and indeed E-Biking, and absolutely loving the bike. Coming off a v long XL Pole, I am appreciating the shorter reach. Super fun with mullet too. As a long time RS and Manitou suspension guy, really enjoying the Fox kit front and back. Also bought a second, 800wh...

    Well, today was one of those crushingly disappointing new bike days!

    Hi there, I’m a recent joiner, so go easy :) An emotional day with my new, and first ebike. Long term mtber, but finally cracked! Bought a Reign E+ MX1 Pro, dealer put on all my ‘stuff’ (240 dropper, saddle, preferred tires etc etc) and i went to pick it up today. After setting everything...
