After a successful installation of all my new parts i can say: the motor didn´t care at all. But that is also because Haibike is selling bikes in many different variations of gear ratios going up to even 40-10. For the Bosch Motor they just have one config that they put on all their bikes i...
Hello folks,
I bought a new fork for my bike and would like to install a proper headset.
Unfortunately, I find my Alltrail 8 of 2022 so no concrete info on the headset on their data sheet.
I put on the following in the shopping cart by basically blind guessing:
I found out that my headset...
The Haibike engineers reached out to me and told me I can change the cassette. I can have a max of 52 teeth and a min of 10 with my 38 in the front. I had a quick research already on their website and found out that many bikes are using 38/10 or even 40/10 on trekking bikes. I assume that they...
At the moment I guess it’s a 3.8 gear ratio in the software. My alltrail 8 in purple color has a sram 11-50 cassette. The alltrail 8 in red has a shimano 10-51 cassette. Both with the 38 in the front. Many other bikes do have a 10/38 combination with the Bosch motor. So I guess they do have 1...
I didn’t know that a bike dealer can do that but if they can, I am sure they will.
Also: Haibike contacted me today and they told me that they asked one of their engineers and it is possible to change the cassette to 10-50. so the max gear ratio might be higher because they might sell bikes...
So why do they tell me? :D And also there are reports of bikes not working anymore. There seems to be a minimum and a maximum gear ratio programmed in the motor software. And for me, I would run out of the lower limit with the 10-50 cassette.
Bosch and Haibike say I need a software update when changing the cassette because the motor is programmed for 11-50 on 38 sprockets and otherwise it can come to errors.
Do I get such an update from my bike dealer? Or must that first be released by Haibike and that is an unnecessarily long...
