    I don't care how isolated the location; I would not sleep unless the bike was in the van with me! :eek:

    Giant trance where to repair?

    @bulek As brilliant as those guys are, they only fix the motor. They can't fix anything that is on the bike. I do not have a Giant, so take that into account on the rest of this post. Check for loose connections into the display unit, in fact to anywhere that you can reach without dismantling...

    New Ebike member with a Shimano issue

    Make sure that the pedals are not touching anything when you switch on the bike. I'm pretty sure that the E010 error is to do with the torque sensor. Pressure on the pedals when switching on means that there is torque on the motor at the start, which is a no-no. I don't have an e8000 anymore...

    So, did you keep or sell your non eMTB? Any regrets?

    Oh my Gosh! That second picture!! :eek: And how tight was that corner you came around? o_O I would not even walk that. :sick: Top marks @BikeBert :)

    Tire Gauge Reliability

    100% agree with every single thing that @Mikerb said. :)(y) Additionally, I would recommend that the bike be stored with the tyre valves at the 5 or 7 o'clock position. This allows the sealant to slide out into the bottom of the tyre. But even doing all of this, I do need to replace the Presta...

    @electricbogaloo I was out at the weekend and I purposely listened out for "the rattle" on bumpy descents, not pedalling. All I could hear was the hub buzzing.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I've seen other posts on here asking if one screw is normal or an error.

    I suppose that you have tried Mr Google? How about ChatGPT? He's good. Just provide as much info as you have and tell it what you want. Don't give up at the first response, keep asking. Develop the conversation. https://chat.openai.com/ The only snag with the above version is that it's in...

    Buying locally vs online

    Rutland Cycles in the UK will deal with warranty claims on any bike that they stock. But if you didn't buy it from them, they charge a standard £35 (might be more now). This compensates them for all the admin, wasted telephone calls chasing people up etc. No such charge if it's a big item like a...

    Only one screw?

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    I will try anything. When I first got it, I set up the fork according to the Fox recommendations and it felt awful. It was like riding over broken bricks the whole time (big ones). So I slowly changed the settings. When I compared the settings that TF Tuned set up for me (how the hell do they...

    My God @franciscoasismm! I have seen the distances you clock up on your other bikes, and was amazed! AND NOW THIS! You must be commuting on all your bikes, and a very long way, to rack up such distances.

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    I agree with that @Mikerb it's how I do it normally. As for set up I will try the settings from TF Tuned (just in case) and then start from scratch again. which will be pretty much what you recommended anyway. :)

    I will measure the stanchions.

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    @Bones I suppose so. Let's do some very simple sums. Let's assume that the bike weighs 24kg and the rider weighs 96kg, total 120kg. Let's also assume that the weight is evenly distributed between front and rear wheels, for starters Later Edit: The bit I missed is that the front wheel and half...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    I took the bike to my LBS and the top guy agreed that it shouldn't be doing that. It had only been about 400 miles since the last service by TF Tuned. He spoke to them and they agreed to take a look at it. It came back having been given a full service. Their written report said that everything...

    My Maxxis DHR2 looks weird!

    @Mikerb "Agreed...Assegai is a great all round tyre but no good in sticky mud because it just clogs up. Fortunately most of my riding is in forests where the trails are sandy loam/ pine needle compost and the Assegai is good in those trail conditions." I could have written that! :)

    EP801 Rattle

    I'm not saying it isn't there, because if I concentrate, I can hear it. But I prefer not to spend my time listening out for it and it absolutely does not bother me, to the point where I no longer hear it. I started wearing hearing aids in August last year. I wore them a couple of times on the...
