    Answered Can an EMTB be laid down on its side in a car without damaging the peddle / crank / motor?

    Whow, those are the nicest potholes i've ever seen! But i better not try that in germany... there's surely an EU law against drawing on public roads :)

    Answered Can an EMTB be laid down on its side in a car without damaging the peddle / crank / motor?

    The side-forces applied to the crank arms and bottom bracket while agressively riding a bike are much more than the bike weight if you just lay your bike on the side. If something would suffer damage from that, it wouldn't be safe to shred that thing down a mountain :)

    Answered Flat pedal pins

    In the beginning when learning to jump and didn't know the proper technique that happend to me as well. After the third "impact" and already permanently marked shins i got me some shin-guards (the cheap soccer type) and i still wear them when i go crazy - but it never happened again so far. The...

    Unanswered Is an eMTB the right decision for me?

    Welcome to the forum! Definitely visit your local dealers and try different ones (brands / geometries / motors), but not only on the parking lots, take them for an hour or so. And then try to rent one of your favorites for a day and singletrail the hell out of it! Your question won't be the same...

    Hey, back from holidays in Croatia and I've tested the new photo chromatic glasses from decathlon there - well they're not working in a way I supposed they are. I can't really see a big effect when switching from darker to sunny areas. They are transparent and good to use in the evening or in...

    Uhoh, no mine is a full-sus. We were talking about a hardtail here? Sorry, i didn't get that - forget what i said ^^

    Answered Help needed - rear brake squealing like a Foghorn and vibrating.

    Agreed, but many many bikers do this and don't get noisy vibrations from it, so i wouldn't take that as "normal". On my other bike i've upgraded my discs from 180mm Deore to 203mm XT (2 compound), added the needed adapter from Shimano and switched the whole brake-system from crappy Deore to...

    Oh, just read this neat "hack" from @Swissrob - maybe it is worth a try :)

    Answered Help needed - rear brake squealing like a Foghorn and vibrating.

    Removing that tie wrap helped that much? That's strange, but very good! :) But putting on a smaller disc to fight the squealing to me feels like the wrong solution. If the squealing is surely not caused by any loose bolts (and the vibrations that causes) or contaminated disc or brake pads, i...

    That price is a nobrainer for me, instantly ordered - hope the photochromatic magic is fast enough for bikers :) I will report back ^^

    I wouldn't do big experiments with it, you had enough trouble already. Just get the right tape and be a happy tubeless man :)

    I might install a security camera, just to be sure ^^ The „no bubbles“ thing really makes it mysterious :alien:

    But... there's probably no magic involved, so it has to be a damaged tape or valve or rim. Otherwise it's just not possible that fluid is leaking through a spokehole. It's possible the tape got damaged while using the tyre levers. Before resignate and going back to tubes, i would remove that...
