Had my Motor (21 Wild FS)replaced recently, ever since I got it back I've thought it felt different.
Tour seems to be different, it ramps up the harder I pedal(I think). have they put the new firmware on it so it's now"tour+" ? I remember hearing a bit about this years ago but can't find any...
I've had my Wild FS since Feb 21, done 1700km in total. since this summer I have noticed an intermittent rumbling under load , usually towards the end of a ride, which I always thought was the derailleur/cassette but it's been getting worse, and after a good clean and service and confirmation...
My Gain won't work, nothing happens when you press the on button. it works fine when it's plugged in and reports 90% battery to my Garmin and the Mahle app, when it's upside down if I spin the cranks when it's plugged in the motor kicks in, and I've checked all the plugs and they all look like...
Had a quick go on my friends bike this weekend (M20 same as mine) and it has some high rise bars which I don't really want but I did notice they didn't have as much upsweep and it felt better holding the bars. felt like they were straight and neutral, where as the bars I have now are at an...
on the spec sheet it lists them as MT420 brakes, but on my bike I have MT520 calipers and MT501 levers.
Went out with a friend today (who has the same bike) who noticed this, his has the 420's on, the levers look pretty crap TBH I'm glad I seem to have got a free upgrade!
the MT520's have been...
Whilst doing the Borrowdale bash (it's rocky AF) I got a pinch flat and dented the rim, this was about 6 weeks ago. decided to put some rim protection in there to stop this happening again.
I nicked the sidewall yesterday and it won't seal, so too it apart today to clean up ready to fit a...
whilst out today I noticed a horrible squeal / high pitched noise about 20km into my ride so I stopped, as it happens noticed 2/4 chainring bolts were just about to drop out they were so lose but I don't think that was related to the noise. tightened them up and carried on and the noise had...
I've had my new Wild FS M20 for a few weeks, the dropper post was always tough to drop, but at first once I'd drop it right down and up a few times it would free up and bit and the rest of the ride it was ok. I thought it might get smoother with use but it seems not...
tried to put the seat down...
Ok this is not strictly EMTB, but I'm looking for a bike for my mum, one of the contenders is the Orbea Vibe H30. everything I can see about it looks ideal, only thing is it uses a rear hub drive system, not a mid drive.
How do they compare?
Just tried to fit my EDC pump to my new Wild FS, but the frame is too big, needs some sort of spacer, or a different mount. I think it may even have to move up the downtube to clear part of the frame.
This seems like it would be a common problem with all e-bikes, any decent solutions available?
need some ideas about storing my new e-bike in the garage, previously I had 2 bikes (MTB and road bike ) hanging on the wall by hooks and that was fine, then I bought a 3rd gravel bike and had to shuffle the 2 bike mounts together and add a 3rd space for the gravel, which meant it was hard work...
a few months back a the start of my operation I researched to death all EMTBs. narrowed it down to Vitus e sommet, radon render 9, trek rail 9, scott genius 910, orbea wild FS H/M10 in that order. now it seems most of thoes are not available and even then the price seems to have jumped up...
went to a local shop that sells Haibikes, said I was interested in the allMTN 7, and I'm 6ft 4 so said I wanted an XL.
their first response was "I don't think they do an XL in that one"....
bear this in mind, about 3 months ago I went into the same shop when I had no idea about e-bikes and they...
just been studying these 2. I have asked 2 bike shops about them now, none of them seem to know
they seem to be so similar, is the chaser 29 just a lower specced crafty R?
surely if that was the case they would just call it the Crafty (with no R)
Geo is identical, except the chaser has a lower...
Just browsing Radons website, it looks similar to the Cube one. also the derailleur hangers have the same part numbers. also the render looks very similar to the 140 stereo hybrid, albeit with different specs, which are slighting between the cube specs.
Phoned my LBS today, have bought last 2 bikes from there they know me.
was simply told I couldn't order, there was nothing to order from cube, not even a waiting list...
luckily I don't actually need it until Jan/Feb, but I was expecting at least to be able to order it and be told it would...
I've just decided to switch to an e-bike. been looking at al the competition over the last week, and the e-Escarpe VRS seems to be winning, but I won't be buying one till January at the earliest so it seems sense to wait for the 2021 models, in the hope that they will be fitted with the newer...
