    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    This particular issue is nothing to do with the freehub, that runs like a dream. I have a few spare freehubs XD and Shimano.

    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    Yes that may well sort the issue, I note the all Levo and the Stumpjumpers including the S-Works all come with Steel chainrings. Just back from a 40km ride and the chainsuck wasn't too bad today, mainly because the lube didn't get washed off with this lovely frozen ground. It's running so fast...

    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    This was my plan to just buy another chain anyway. The e11 EPT is fine when it's freshly lube, it just gets very catchy when the lube washes away on wet rides. Clutch on SRAM rear mech seems to working as should. Just seems strange this only started happening after fitting the EPT chain. On...

    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    Not the chainring... the "CHAIN" has a rough grippy finish to it! Thats why I believe these EPT (anti rust) variant chains are the issue here. Is anyone else using these KMC e11 EPT chains and having the same issue ?

    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    Nothing wrong with the cheaper BUCKLO chainring. If you read my post it was doing it with the HOPE chainring in the first place. I’m sure the issue is down to the “EPT” (anti rust material used for this chain) When completely clean and free from any type of lubricant it has a rough grippy...

    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    I beg to differ on that. Anyway the chain & drivetrain is completely clean of any original coating long ago.

    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    Only did one ride with the old Hope chainring before changing it to a brand new Chainring same direct mount and same offset. New chain is still undamaged or stretched. The original lube on a new chain is supposed to be the best. Anyway it’s when the chain looses all the applied lube that the...

    KMC e11 EPT chain: possible cause of chainsuck

    I change my chain fairly regularly to save the rest of the drive train. Been very happy with KMC chains in the past so opted to use them again. I bought 2x "KMC e11 EPT" chains for my Levo (2019). When looking at the ebike specific chains KMC offer, I decided to opt for the "EPT" version...

    STOLEN

    A friend of mine had an idea the other day..... what about using a Blevo or Mission Control setting of 0% for all the modes to when you park up your bike after a ride. Then if it gets stolen they will not be able to get working properly without taking it to a shop. Obviously you would need to...

    Winter flat shoes/boots recommendations?

    I have I have size 8 FiveTens and bought the XXL as someone had already said you needed to buy at least 1-2 sizes bigger. They're just really hard to get on and off with the sticky FiveTen rubber, and I personally wasn't prepared to battle with that every time I ride in the winter and I'd...

    Winter flat shoes/boots recommendations?

    Got my another new pair for Christmas of "Sealskins extreme cold weather" which seem to be the same thickness as my original Sealskin socks that I've had around 10 years now (still going strong and waterproof) and I have my Endura MT500 waterproof trousers I bought a year ago. So I'm all ready...

    Winter flat shoes/boots recommendations?

    My NW Himalaya boots arrived back from LSR today... well impressed with the conversion to FiveTen rubber they've done. Can't wait to try them out this weekend! Bring on the cold weather! Cheers for the heads up on this company Stu :)(y)
