    20mph speed government petition is live!

    Signed , but it said only 195 signatures so far , some really daft answers here as usual on the subject . Fact is a heavy draggy Ebike wont keep up with road bikes even if it’s de restricted but it would help equalise on flat sections of road , a 20mph limit would make the off road a little...

    Rail (625Wh) Trek rail Bosch error code 504

    There’s no spoke magnet on this model , the magnet is fixed inside the rear lower stay and bolted to the disc bolts , so it cant really be moved easily . It was the first thing i checked in case there was a problem or something stuck to it , but found no problem

    Rail (625Wh) Trek rail Bosch error code 504

    I did keep riding for over an hour , i had to to get home but it didn’t clear , there’s lots of conflicting remedies i read about how long you need to keep riding etc and many say you have to ride without using assistance for that hour , some say it has to be an even speed between 9and 11 mph...

    stopped for a break and bike switched back on with a 504 error code and was in limp mode , i looked here for reasons and a fix but found nothing and it seems all reasons i could find pointed to using derestricting devices which i dont have , anyway lots posts on you tube telling me to ride for...

    Hope hubs

    I’ve had similar problems with a hope hub when i first had one the free hub has two bearing fitted back to back on the inside . The inner bearing gets the dirt etc in it and fails first , normally this would alert you but the other bearing continues to support the free hub until the worn inner...

    Would I notice the difference ??

    I feel better to know that It’s what I seem to remember Here I was thinking I must too old to pedal hard enough to get that peak shown on the graph 😄 so i guess it has advantages , but not as good for battery life as before 🤔 so which version do you prefer presuming you’ve tried both Rob ?

    Would I notice the difference ??

    That’s a good graph Rob , also called emtb light in the more recent trek bikes .

    Would I notice the difference ??

    Maybe our Motors both shimano and bosch have different tunes . the shimano you could alter stuff a bit in its power outputs , and different manufacturers seem to have different Bosch tunes like trek have the emtb light ,

    Would I notice the difference ??

    I guess your using the Bosch in the higher modes , in the lower modes it’s very different. I ve found getting started on a difficult slop using the lower power then turning up as you get going works well , emtb does give a fair kick ,

    Would I notice the difference ??

    Having owned shimano e8000 for 3 years and now the latest bosch for the last year , the best thing is the battery life , the bosch is good for almost twice the distance Yes it has a bigger battery but The emtb light mode gives you all the power you need even for tough climbs , and hits that...

    Upgrade to sram gx axs - what's my shopping list?

    Dam I just read through all that guys pointless ramblings , no wonder you thought it was a hoax , I nearly gave up too , but continued hoping for some kind of holy grail trick I hadn’t heard of , how can someone ramble so much on something we’ve been doing for years , using a shimano cassette...

    Heart says Rail7, head says Merida e160 700…which way would you go

    Having changed from an e8000 shimano powered bike very similar to the Merida to the trek rail with bosch I would say the trek is well worth the exra , it’s a more capable up to date bike and the bosch has almost twice the range of the shimano with more features it’s quieter more powerful and...

    All New 2022 Trek Rail with SRAM Airwiz - First Look

    Good video / review Rob . Bike looks good , but bigger and heavier again . Would be great if they did an extra battery that popped in the bottle holder for long rides .

    Service reminder

    Service reminder

    My rail 9 is displaying a service due reminder . Is this a trek thing to get you to take your bike to the shop , or us it a Bosch thing because the motor needs some kind of update or service ? if it’s the the first option is there a way to re set the service reminder , Ive looked at the menus...

    Bosch Magic Tour Mode..available to all ?

    I think it’s the emtb lite mode that trek first started , it doesn’t boost all the way to turbo , it’s a more economical version of emtb mode . I find it the best mode for battery life without working too hard in eco

    Germany has no Single Track - Here's Why

    I didn’t really mean the general public , they can’t be worse than some of the British types that are currently ruining Cornwall . And most Germans I meet on my travels are friendly and polite I meant general government rule making , pointless pedantic rules and laws , the sort of legislation...
