    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    yea I didn't see the bvit where you said they were the Ergon grips with the wings.... they make more than one grip , the ones with wings spread your weight out more over your hands :rolleyes: Maybe your bikes just the wrong size and too much of your weight is over the front end :rolleyes: Is...

    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    My whyte bike came with grips that hurt my hands. after 10miles I would constantly seek a different position on the grips.. my hands would feel funny even after riding for awhile. I was scared of getting carpal tunnel syndrome, switching to ergon wing grips made it all go away

    New bike, noisy motor. Service or ignore?

    Gears always make noise, if you spin it backwords do they disengage? I'm assuming they do. probably what the woosh sound is on the overdrive on your first video.

    Could Giant be up for a class action?

    so should Sram and Shimano only release gear combinations that allow 16.5mph max for europe? and 20mph max for aus and USA? why stop at artificially limiting ebikes?

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    Your seat seems higher than your bars, Glad I'm not the only one :ROFLMAO: I was actually a bit paranoid about it when I set my bike up. (mines +2inches higher) I googled since almost everyone else seems to limit the max seat height to level with the bars or lower. Then I found this pick and...

    Could Giant be up for a class action?

    Bosch do the same. It's not their responsibility to ensure the motors are road legal... you don't see car manufactures limiting cars to motorway speeds... you don't see motorbikes doing the same... there's no speed limits if your riding on private land anyway... It's up to the rider or driver...

    What Mech Hanger?

    they are usually bike specific which one hanger used across a bunch of different frames.Quickest way is usually searching ebay with Hanger+bike model and year. A lot of bikes use UDH though now which is a god send

    Bosch vs Shimano drag race

    How many % discount you had when you bought your eMTB?

    0% last summer, they wouldn't even throw in some cheap free pedals on a 6k bike. I think the bike was discounted to 5500 about a week later too, across every website and store so must have been Whyte doing a promotion Next time I buy online

    Bosch Meta SX....any reviews from owners?

    Did Bosch ever say what speed this motor is capable of derestricted? Bosch CX is rated at 28mph If I recall correctly. I wonder how fast the SX is in comparison, torque stats mean almost nothing imo
