    Sounds just like thr Shimano EP801 rattle boxes.

    Bosch Gen5 users, 120Nm and eMTB+ mode

    I recently reached out to Bosch to better understand how the eMTB+ mode functions as something to me didn't make sense. After testing the previous update, which increased power from 85 Nm to 100 Nm, I was curious whether I could use the traction control features of this mode at lower power...

    Tow bar bike carrier.

    Another vote for Buzz rack (that supports ebikes). My local towbar fitter put me off Thule ebike models because he said if I was you source a new Thule back rack from the internet and there were any issues Thule don't support the consumer directly, that it has to be via a local shop directly...

    Whats the best action camera 📷

    Another vote here for the OSMO Action series. I wanted to invest in an action camera last year having dabbled with the cheap versions for years. It was between GoPro/Insta360 and OSMO and after reading stacks of reviews although the Insta360 was coming out top it was too expensive and the GoPro...

    Mavic bearing seizures

    Hello, I'm about 300 miles in on a 2025 Mondraker Crafty Carbon and did notice this week whilst giving it a check over that the rear bearings appeared to be stuck - this is when I try to rotate the end caps you can feel the resistance. Anyhow I did put the wheel back on the bike and spun it...

    Feedback Sport Ultra-Lite bike stand for eMTB?

    I normally only clamp on the seat post. Just wasn't sure how sturdy this stand would be with the weight of a 24kg eMTB hanging from it.

    Feedback Sport Ultra-Lite bike stand for eMTB?

    Hiya, as the title suggest, has anyone got on of these work stands and does it work well with their eMTB? https://feedbacksports.com/products/ultralight-bike-repair-stand?srsltid=AfmBOoqDoZyWp5CkY02FpqRlf8VR7_tAzDPQIpSvHr55P-30s51kNlen&variant=44214811296042 The spec does say.... ..however I...

    Bosch's eMTB+ vs Turbo

    Would be useful if someone could test for me : in eMTB+ mode, drop the power to 600w/85nm and see if it feels different from having it set to 750w/100nm. I can't on mine, almost like it does bypass the power settings and provide maximum power regardless of the custom configuration

    Bosch's eMTB+ vs Turbo

    Hi all, I’ve been testing the difference between eMTB+ set at standard power (600W / 85Nm) in the app versus the higher setting of 750W / 100Nm, and honestly, I can’t feel any difference in power delivery. With the torque and wattage dialled up to maximum, it seems as though eMTB+ is already...

    First time on a Mondraker 2025 Crafty R

    I've got one of these and absolutely love riding it—no complaints so far. That said, I did notice the rear suspension linkage bolt on the drive side started to work its way out and was pressing against the chain guide. Luckily, it didn’t come all the way loose. I took it to my local bike shop...

    Ebike insurance UK

    I've been looking into this recently - I notice on a few independent ebike insurers that they say they won't cover any bike that has a motor more powerful than 250W. Most eMTB's have 600W I'm sure so how the hell that's supposed to work I have no idea.

    Bosch Gen5 - Still flashing at 100%

    As a conclusion to this thread, I've confirmed the battery completes its charging cycle correctly. The process from a 50% state of charge is as follows: Main Charge (50% to 100%): Takes approximately 2 hours. Balancing/Absorption Phase (at 100%): Continues for about 1 more hour before the...

    Tubeless repair kits

    Hi everyone, I recently discovered a slow puncture in my tubeless tyre after noticing sealant sprayed up my seat tube. I thought the sealant had done its job, but fresh spray appears after every ride, so it's obviously not sealing completely. The hole seems tiny. Can anyone recommend a good...

    Bosch Gen5 - Still flashing at 100%

    Ok cheers for the replies, i guess I needed to leave it on a bit longer then.

    Bosch Gen5 - Still flashing at 100%

    Hi, I'm not sure if this is a common trait, but I thought I'd ask. On my eMTB, when I charge the battery while it's still in the bike, the display shows '100% Charging', and the top bar on the Bosch crossbar display continues to flash. I usually unplug the charger once it shows 100%, but if I...

    Advice on tightening up hard to get to bolt...

    I've since bumped into a fellow rider who has the same bike and reckon you can do this by removing the chain and one of the chain guide bolt which allows you to swing the chainguard out of the way to gain better access. I'm yet to give it a try since my LBS re-tightened and applied Loctite.

    Yeah tell me about it!

    Cheers, the LBS did say they were using loctite on them so hopefully they did.

    Advice on tightening up hard to get to bolt...

    Had one of my suspension bolts work its way loose today, but LBS duly sorted it out when I took it to them. I did try to remove the chain guide to do it myself on the trail but the allen bolts heads were obscured by the front chain ring. I decided to not fiddle in the end and rode back...
