    XO T-type setup

    Hi folks, I recently fitted XO T-type to my bike and went out for a 9 mile ride. All seemed OK, but I wasn't sure if it was a bit loud when pedalling or if it was normal. I've not really paid attention to drivetrain noise before and also it's my first ebike. Today I decided to have a play...

    Brake discs rubbing

    Hi folks, I installed some slightly thicker discs the other day and now they rub pretty kuch the entire circumference. Brakes are XT 4 pots. I presume I just need to attach a bleed funnel to the lever and then push the pistons back into the caliper a bit? Or won't that work?

    Strive: On noisy headset and cables

I like the battery position better on GX, but I guess everything else is better on XO. Is it a no-brainer...

    Rotor size/lever leverage/stopping distance discussion

    Moderator Edit : Moved from Canyon Strive Thread to this thread. Exactly that. Same as having a physically larger rotor. More mass = better resistance to brake fade. Having a larger diameter rotor just helps spread the heat, it doesn't make the brakes stop you faster. If you can already lock...

    Ebike suggestion

    Hi folks, I'm considering getting my first ebike and looking at the deals that are currently available, but not sure what to go for exactly. I'd prefer something relatively light as I'm used to an acoustic bike, but was riding with a friend with an ebike at the weekend and my severe lack of...

    Levo Gen 3 Advice on Turbo Levo

    Hi folks, I'm thinking of getting my first ebike, but have some concerns. For example I've seen plenty of reference to motor issues on even the 2022 Levos, is this still a problem and how are people with high mileage on their bikes finding that they hold out? And am I right in thinking that if...
