So it seems that my Dyname 4.0 is starting to fail. There is a horrible clicking (bearing) noise coming from the upper motor bearing nearest to the small chain cog.
It has done 5500km...
Should be a case of warranty. But still, bit disappointed about this weak spot of the Dyname 4.0 motor.
I...
I have a spare E8000 motor laying around gathering dust. Ive bought this E8000 a year a go also for spare parts. The only thing ive exchanged are the 2 small intermediary gear shafts, so the ones that are in this motor now probably shouldnt be used again. Im not sure what the original fault with...
So here is a weird observation...
My Altitude A50 2022 came with the Shimano drivetrain, and ive always felt the drivetrain had a bit of vibration. I assumed it was just inherent to the Dyname design with the additional drive sprocket. Nothing too disturbing, but surely it never felt as smooth...

In short, yesterday one of my 2 batteries died. I had just been fully charged the day before, and when i was on the trails riding, i wanted to swap in this battery. But sadly it wouldnt turn on at all. No lights, no...
So it WAS a broken scaphoid after all... Got surgery last monday. They screwed a pin in.
I broke it last november, so yeah, imagine the pain all that time. They thought it was just sprained.
Finally some relief thank god...
What is cool though, is that i now get to play around with these nice...
The other day on the trails i noticed my spectral: on 2019 started creaking somewhere around the motor area, so you know how it goes...
You disassemble chainring, pedals etc, apply antiseize and hope that the creaking goes away. But before you know it you have the whole bike turned up side down...
