    Bosch battery testing

    When I took my bike in for checking the battery out and showing them a few pictures of my flat battery with only 20 odd miles on the clock. It got a software update for the EMTB mode to EMTB+ which supposedly gives 20% more battery milage by limiting the variable boost mode. I can now get 30 odd...

    Anyone have access to Ridewill in Italy?

    I have used them a couple of times for items posted to the UK. There postal prices are very high but they seem to have items that no one else have. I got a derailleur hanger for €20 but it cost €24 to post it 😱 Surely they post to the USA?

    Pic of the Day

    Nothing is reliable. In the last month three mates on Shimano are waiting for new motors! My Bosch is starting to get a whiring sound and it's got over 4k on the clock. So it won't be long before it shits itself 😱

    Chainguide upgrade, whats good?

    I've been running my Bosch bike without a guard fitted for the last 2 years or so without any issues at all! If the derailleur is working correctly and keeping tension on the chain with the clutch then you don't need to have a chainguard fitted. Be brave and try it without. What could possibly...

    Where’s my buzz gone

    Yes if I had actually read the message instead of just the microspline bit 😱 It's a classic case of engage brain before opening mouth 🤣 But I am old 🤔

    Where’s my buzz gone

    Shit mano micro spline freehubs don't have pawls. They are a ratchet type setup. Basically as said earlier, your stripdown and rebuild has resulted in the rear hub being a fraction wider and it's trapping the freehub so it's no longer free to rotate. You could always ignore the do not dissemble...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    I have mine at 110 psi for 82kg and that gives me 35mm sag. Which is 20%. HSC and LSC open. If I run them at 95 psi it makes a softer fork but I have to have HSR fully open because I've not enough air pressure to bring the forks back up and it ends up a harsh ride and I loose that 10mm from the...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    I still reckon you don't have enough air pressure in your forks. You say 30% sag, but fox recommends between 15 and 20% sag as that's what they are designed for. If they are ok at 100 PSI on a Dyno without the gravity effect of an ebike on them. Then it suggests more air is needed than you are...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Mine actually had a faulty air damper so all my earlier comments are about a faulty fork! But the fact is that the forks will sag under the weight of the bike if you don't have at least 100psi in them to counteract the battery and motor weight. I have always had to lift my front wheel off the...

    Swapping batteries and warranty coverage?

    You can use the old battery to save the newer one but it won't extend any warranty.
