    Shimano e8000

    I will but it can take a while before I'll install it. I don't have much time at the moment and it looks like that's not going to change anytime soon... According to the track & trace the motor will arrive later today :)

    Shimano e8000

    The eBay motor is already on the way (from Germany). Patience is not always one of my strengths I regret to say :)

    Shimano e8000

    That is a positive message indeed (y) Although I think it will be an exception to have a three year old motor replaced for free. Sadly my bike is beginning to develop E010 errors... First time that happened was in september 2021, turning the bike off and on again several times gave no result...

    How do you carry your spare Shimano Battery

    Very happy with the Evoc e-bike specific backpack. It's not a small pack, but comfortable to wear. The battery has a compartment with a strap so it won't move around even if the rest of the pack isn't full. I did have an Ergon BA3 backpack (with protector) before I bought an e-mtb but I found...

    XT FC-M8050 crankset 165mm

    It will probably not make much of a difference, but I'd like to stick with the XT version of the cranks (hollowtech). There's a FC-E8050 170mm on my bike now, think I'll order the FC-M8050 165mm from Bike-Discount: Shimano XT / Steps Crank Arms FC-M8050 without Chainring | Shimano STEPS System...

    XT FC-M8050 crankset 165mm

    Does anybody know what the difference between the Shimano FC-M8050 and FC-E8050 cranksets is? As far as I can find they are exactly the same, but maybe they are not, considering Shimano uses two different type names. I'm thinking about buying a 165mm crankset and that looks to be the FC-M but...

    walk mode - does it work at all?

    The bike was bought this summer, so I presume the firmware isn't that old? I have got the E-tube app installed on my phone (android), but haven't been able to get it to connect properly. Still must try if it works better from an I-pad, then I can check the firmware version.

    walk mode - does it work at all?

    Just returned from a week of biking in the French Alps with my Merida, had great fun! :) Despite the extra power I had to walk a few very steep sections, and switched on the walk mode. But I hardly noticed any difference using the walk mode or not. When I got to the top of one of these climbs...
