    Bosch battery testing

    Interested in anyone's experience. My 625 battery feels like it's degraded a little over time, it's pretty much cooked on 20-25 mile rides whereas a year ago, 30+ was easily in reach. So I'm weighing up replacing it but before that, I'm minded to have it tested. To that end, I spoke to an LBS...

    Shimano sprockets

    Anyone know of a decent source of indivdual Shimano sprockets? I have a worn SLX M7100 12 speed cassette but it's all good save for the three smallest sprockets. It's designed so that these can be replaced but while I would like to keep it going, I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to find the...

    Pins & needles

    I'm noticing this in my right wrist lately. It generally comes on about ten miles in to a ride.90% of my riding is longish trail stuff, sat down. I haven't made any changes to the contact points recently, so I'm interested in advice on what I guess is adjusting bars, saddle etc. aimed at...

    For Sale (PARTS) Bosch powertube 625 horizontal £250

    Non smart system battery. It's off a 2021 Focus Jam2. The bike has about 3000 miles & the battery will have north of a hundred charging cycles on it. Although I haven't had it tested, my guess is it's now sitting somewhere around 550-600 watt hours. I can say it's always stored indoors in cold...

    Swinley any good?

    It's about an hour away from me, I quite fancy a change of scene, especially while the trails here are knackered but never been & don't know much about the place. Worth a day out?

    Merry Christmas!

    Have a good one everybody. May Santa bring you those sintered pads you've been longing for & if today is not what you hoped for, may you at least have peace & comfort. The trails are out there, waiting for you. 🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

    Trek cheapy hub ball bearings

    So I'm back on my pals Powerfly. The bike has a noisy front wheel. I've stripped it & found a cup & cone front hub where the locknuts have worked loose & water has got in & knackered the ball bearings. I'll try to get away with new ball bearings, as the cups & cones look ok. Long shot but...

    jam2 bearing kit

    Anyone have a list of frame bearings or know of an accurate kit? I'm swapping out but would rather do it in one go than remove them individually to work out what I need. The trails are calling and all that.

    Bosch CX click?

    Been chasing a clicking noise on the bike. So far, I've been through the frame bearings, headset, rear shock mounts & seatpost, disassembled & serviced. Through a process of elimination, I've narrowed it down to somewhere around the motor. It's a clicking sound & rotational. Before I fire up the...

    Powerfly 2021 Powerfly 4 mech hanger

    Any of you cool Trek dudes can point me towards the hanger for this bike? A friend of mine has mangled his & I'm going to replace it. I've only got the details per the title so far, assuming it's a Shimano drive train but won't know until the bike gets here. Thanks people.

    Intractable gear problem.

    Probably a bit niche but I've had a tough time settling down a new SLX drivetrain on my bike - various skipping chain & alignment issues. The last piece of the puzzle I solved yesterday. There has been a persistent problem with the chain rollers not meshing with the largets sprocket. I wondered...

    Where's my walk mode??!!

    I feel I should know this but I can't work out if my 2021 Jam2 has walk mode. In the manual, it says press the walk assistance button - I haven't got one of those on my Kiox or the controller. Walk would be handy for lubing the chain, so do I have it on my bike?

    Drivetrain help

    Little help? Just swapped out all my old drivetrain. Now I'm running a 12spd SLX cassette, XT Deore derailleur, Deore 12spd chain & Raceface 34t chainring. Everything is brand new except the derailleur, like three rides old. The chain is skipping in top gear and only top gear Even moderate...

    Jam2 chain ring

    Mine is worn & will need replacing soon. Does anyone know what offset is on the factory fitment? I see 52 & 55mm options. I'm guessing 55mm for a boost 12spd bike but want to check before buying. Cheers.

    Tubeless question

    I'm taping up a rim for a new tire. It may be me, may be the wheel, a Race Face AR30 offset 29 but I repeatedly have the same problem setting these up. I get air leaks at the valve. This is usually a taping problem or a valve install error. Usually with fettling I can get it to seal but today...
