Hi,
Whilst I am waiting for my M20 to be delivered I am getting upgrade parts organised and get them fitted over Christmas. I assume the bike comes with centre lock discs ?, the carbon wheels I have to go on are 6 bolt, what have people done about the magnet ?, on the Trek Rail for example the...
All,
As you will all know there are some good deals at that momen as dealers shift 2023 models. I have been mullling over a lighter weight bike for a while. With that in mind I have my Rail down to below 21kg with choice parts, smaller battery and custom made battery cover etc. I tend to...
I am mulling over fueling my new enjoyment of riding an emtb over my analogue bikes by buying a second emtb. However I am not sure how much I would use a second bike.
How many people own more than one emtb, how different are they, do you use both regularly or tend to use one ?
Is there a 'optimal' cadence for the Bosch motor ?, The only data I can find mentions that it supports cadence up to 120 rpm, but no minimum or ideal cadence. Whereas other motors seem to have a target cadence range. Maybe the Bosch doesn't have a target cadence limitation ?. That's a big...
Decided to design my own cover for the pivot link to stop stones and mud getting stuck, quite happy with how it came out, looks more OEM than the mud guards i have tried to adapt. Should do exactly what is needed and look minimal.
What do people think ?
Hi, i needed to remove the bash guard to check the motor bolts for tightness due to creaking noise, anyway, as i did that i noticed that the empty connector on the motor for the 12v supply or rear light (which i don't have) is lacking a rubber grommet cover, so its already got some mud in it Not...
Hi, i needed to remove the bash guard on my Trek Rail to check the motor bolts for tightness due to creaking noise, anyway, as i did that i noticed that the empty connector in the motor for the rear light (which i don't have) is lacking a rubber grommet cover. Not really an issue as i don't have...
Hi All,
I have a creak/click from around the motor/BB area, mainly from load (doesn't need to be really heavy load), it seems to be left side related, i.e when I push on the left pedal. I can invoke the noise by push down with my hand on the left pedal when the crank is at the bottom of the...
The Sram sintered OE pads on my RSC brakes are annoyingly noisy, esp when they get wet !, It's useful to let dog walkers you are behind them but not much use otherwise !. What have people used other than the SRAM OE, I think Sram do a 'power' pad which is a mixture of sintered and organic (no...
I read that you should check the tightness of the crank arm bolts after riding a new bike, (never bothered in previous none-ebike but thought i better) well i checked my e-thirteen arms against the spec of 40nm and both sides took a bit of a turn before hitting the torque. Anyone who hasn't...
I don't tend to run mudguards as I always had issues with rubbing, poor fit, rubbing paint of parts of the bike, etc etc, but interested to know if anyone has found something which fits the rail well ?
My 9.9 just arrived, can't give any real impressions yet as it's dark and not ridden it yet, however I have noticed it has some Sram Quarq tyre pressure sensors !, Didn't even know such things existed !, The spec from Trek doesn't mention including them, maybe it's a 2021 thing, anyway, anyone...
Hi All,
I am coming from years of XC racing and a few years only road riding in between, and the thing which really surprises me about the current range of both Trail, XC and Enduro bikes on the market is that the bar widths seem to have gone up massively !, what sort of width are people...
Hi,
What sort of app/website are people using to find routes to ride ?, i think Garmin do something ?, or do people somehow share routes on a specific forum etc ?
Thanks !
Hi All,
