Beware of cacti. Falling into them is to be avoided. I had one snag my glove a few years ago and was in pain for weeks on end and could not remove the tiny thorns. Even had a Dr look at it and told me you just have to wait it out. Thanks Doc.
I updated my originally 27.5 bike to a mullet and like it. Seemed a bit different at first with the 29 wheel up front but got used to it very quickly. I ran 2.8 on the rear and just bumped it up to a 3.0 with a 40mm rim. Helps with pedal strikes and rim protection IMO. Original motor still runs...
I am 5'10 195lbs with A 32" inseam and ride a shimano e8000 motor bike. I went from 175 to 170 crank arms which were only $50 on ebay. I would have gone with 165 if I could of found them for a reasonable $$$. I mainly changed for less pedal strikes and some other hype I watched on you tube...
I suggest to reset the assist to factory settings and only use SL for checking battery health. I use etube for any adjustment of the power levels. My E8000 system did not like adjusting the power with SL. And if you have an external battery like mine I use a pick to pull the connector pins on...
IMO, Ear buds are dangerous to the hearing when played too loud plus hikers should know that there are cyclists so what are they thinking? Anyway, I always slow down to a walking pace unless they see me, have a bell that always dings and say "rider rider" on your left if I am approaching. Most...
I would fix up your current bike ride it for a while and review options in another year or 2. I have toyed with the idea of a new bike but I keep telling myself I have a bike and until something comes along that is ground breaking tech like regen or I don't know what, I will keep mine.
If you have a battery like mine, I took a pick and pulled the internal connector points out so they make better contact and the code is gone. This may work on internal batteries too but I have no experience with them. Also, I just bought a 2nd hand battery off ebay that was like new that gave me...
1. What is your average ride length (time or distance)? 2 - 2.5 hours 20 miles or so at El Escorpion to Chesebro loop which is a mix of downhill and climbing. I mostly use trail and some boost for the loner climbs. My bike has s a Shimano E8000 drive with 504wh battery. Bike with original...
I had this issue with my Motobecane Hal eboost Shimano STEPS E8000 with external battery mount and it turned out to be the connector pins on the battery had spread open and not making contact with the pins on the lower connector. I took the rubber gasket off the battery and spread the pins...
PINK lettering would have nixed that deal for me too plus plus the price tag is nuts. Error code and Stripped motor bolts, that is a bummer man. Sorry to hear you are having all those issues and good luck to you. It will all work out for you I am sure. Looking forward to seeing your next ride.
Interesting on the cassette difference. The slipping sensation is what I believe to be the rear hub going out. I had the same issue and it finally went out completely going up a long climb. I at first thought maybe the motor was giving me a problem or the chain was jumping teeth but it ended up...
