Hi Folks Got a test run on a new Deviate bike yesterday with the Gen 5 motor, the bike was very impressive however on the initial run in Turbo I felt the bike lacked the punch of my gen 4 Strive on. So after speaking to the Deviate mechanic we looked and the bike was set to 600 watts got it...

I also do hot melt and top up with liquid wax if needed. To clean the chain I remove it and stick it in a jam jar with IPA and give it a good shake. Then rewax, I also always have a spare waxed and ready to fit Used to use the Park cleaner but find it’s just as easy to remove the chain

I have also been waxing my road, gravel and MTB chains for a couple of years now and would not go back to wet lube. If the conditions have been bad/wet then the wax does indeed not last as long and needs redone. I also use a liquid wax as a backup if I am away from home and don't want to swap...

Hi folks finally got a decent ride out on my Strive ON CFR and I am certainly impressed with the suspension compliance compared to my Trek rail but then it was a lower spec model. I thought the rail which is a 29 did hold the line better but that maybe due to me going faster on the Strive ON as...

Battery catch removal After reading all the issues with the battery I decided to remove the catch on my new strive on before any problems might or might not arise and bolt the battery in. I also removed the the battery connector to check the screws and use screwlock. I made the bracket out of...

Surely before Bosch redesigned the catch they must have been having issues even with the rail If canyon could only get the top and bottom mount secure during assembly then the battery should be secure ? I am assuming there is no or very little lateral movement of the battery in the down tube

Just checked my Trek rail and it’s a 34 and never really noticed a problem with it other than balls out down hill on the road and then I just freewheel once I’ve beaten the gearing So a 36 should be fine for me.

What is the maximum size of chainring ?

Hi Folks looking at buying a strive on 750 watt, currently had a Trek rail for the last 3 years with zero problems, hopefully I won’t regret it. Could the older Bosch (non smart) be more reliable than the new system ? Having read about the multitude of battery connection issues I am wondering if...
