    New Bosch CX generation 5 - seal/bush problem

    The new bushings and bolts are applicable to all Gen 5 motor bikes. The bolts and the bushings are Bosch components. Exactly the same as my Vala. On my 1st time with the bushing failure, I sent an online request to Bosch directly through their contact link and Bosch sent me what I needed at no...

    Bike Lifiting Techniques

    Interesting subject, I had the same thoughts after buying an e-bike. Already had a Feedback stand for my other bikes and struggle to lift the bike up with one hand and close the clamp with the other hand. I considered buying the Feedback powered lift but the expense ($1250) and the space it...

    All New 2026 Santa Cruz Bullit launched

    A little late to the sizing party but I am 191cm also with 92cm inseam and arm span that is 209cm, ape factor of +18cm. Weight 106kg. Sorta normal except for the long arms. I have a Vala and went with the XXL for the reach and added a 25mm spacer under the stem which is as high as it will go...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Got tired of lifting the Vala up into a normal bike stand. Finished making an adapter to use my moto lift to hoist the ebike. Lift has 1 1/4 female square tubing in the corners. Made an adapter to insert a bench mount Park stand and use a Feedback clamp. Lift goes up 6 feet so plenty high...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Depends on the ride. I like trekking rides. Today’s was 53 miles and 6100ft. Finished with 10% left. I was spent. Actually was doing a range test for my 220 lbs and carried 2 range extenders. Never used the other one. Going to sell it

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Well I bought something that offers nothing except to spend money and look cool. Picked up some Cane Creek electric wings 165mm titanium cranks. I didn’t bother to weigh them to see how much less they are compared to the XO cranks they replaced. I guess the benefit is that you gain 10mm of...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    Thanks for sharing. I had thought about changing to a wireless dropper and using that cable port to get the wire to the motor to use a SL AX Lupine light. Since I already have a Piko, I mounted the battery on the left side of the bars and the lamp on the right side. In the end the 2100 lumens of...

    Removing a Vala battery

    Yes, you need to remove the motor. 2 bolts and 2 wires and chain and rear wheel if I remember correctly. I would also get the new style motor mounting bolts for the reinstall. I needed to remove the charging port from the frame and I also removed the controller from the top tube to disconnect...

    New Bosch CX generation 5 - seal/bush problem

    Give Santa Cruz a ring/message. They had my V3 bolts and sleeves to me in 2 days. I think it is in the Vala thread but there are many reports there with pics of the new bolts and experiences

    Tubeless sealant top up

    might depend on the characteristics of the sealant you are using. Stans gives you big boogers. orange seal is usually a light coat of film. google the stans boogers images

    Santa Cruz Vala

    After installing mine, I checked and was prompted to install the previous performance update again. Not sure if it was necessary but the flow app said so. I also sent a message to RideWrap that they may want to update their kits. RideWrap also sized the cutout more for the original controller

    Thanks for the seatpost tip. Checked mine on my Vala and the ends were not tight. Not 100 percent sure it was it but no more noise

    Santa Cruz Vala

    I went through the frame area of the website to make a warranty claim. Going through Bosch is frustrating. SC literally had me the V3 bolts in 2 days. Yes mine was the rear lower bushing.
