Weight, schmait. I can't express how upsetting it is to see this bike going for £3k when I paid 4.5 for my AllMtn3 😭

Totally out of order to remotely nuke something especially given it could well be being used legally, derestricted on private land. Reminds me of a period in my electric unicycle group when a load of guys bought direct from China, saving £500 on a £4k wheel and the manufacturers stunned the lot...

I'd go for the Cube all day due to the Bosch CX and 750Wh and unless you're lifting it around all day the weight difference really isn't an issue between them all. Crap forks but can always sort those later. Seems like a good price for a fun bike IMO.

I only went for 180 Domains cos my general MTB ineptitude was smashing through the 160 Lyrics in Morzine. But of course the 180/29" setup only made the whole front end feel even bigger. It's also not helped by the frame being an XL which is right on the cusp of being too big for my height. So...

Right an update then....drum roll....I found the problem! I bought a hanger alignment tool and so as I was backing out the mech bolt to remove it I glimpsed the mech rotate....hmm that wasn't right I thought. Turns out that the mech was binding on the hanger bolt when done up tight and of...

Been musing about de-mulleting my bike since I got it, I just never gelled with what felt like a bloody huge wheel way out in front of me and I found it particularly irritating in slow twisty techy stuff. Finally (over 2 years later lol) picked up a used 27.5" wheel in excellent condition and...

Yeah the alignment mark isnt far off but it does say '51' which of course mine isnt (its a 50) but I wouldnt think it would make much difference. Plus I'm still not sure it explains the reason for the screw being backed right out. Chain is deffo on the chainring correctly, it wont sit on the...

Why would one want lateral movement on a part that I would have thought would want to be as slop-free as possible for accurate engagement/alignment? I've ordered a tool, I'm not giving up until I find the reason for this. I will update with what I find!

Another option - 160mm AllMtn 3, same as I have. Great bike. I bought from these guys too and they are really good. Now running the Yamaha motor though (mine is Bosch). https://lescycles.co.uk/collections/electric-mountain-bikes/products/haibike-allmtn-3-2023-e-bike?_pos=5&_fid=86a70fb4f&_ss=c

What an utterly bloody brilliant idea. About time! Good find :)

Both jockeys are 13t, same as the OE ones I took off. Yeah as much as I hate to admit it I agree, hanger really needs to be checked to be able to rule it out. I'm OCD with clouting the derailleur but who knows.

Cheers for your thoughts. I did check the chain with another checker I have (my last one was shite) and it's not registering 0.5 wear yet. The cassette seems in really good order too - I think theres about 1700 miles on it now but the bike rarely sees water or mud tbh. And, I can get it to shift...

I have been struggling with my shifting recently and it seems something is wrong somewhere because even with my B screw backed right out the distance between the jockey and the cassette is still a little too big I believe. Whether it's enough to cause the problem I have I'm not convinced but...

Interesting, I thought 11sp and 12sp had the same pitch. They have offered a 50% refund without sending it back (I said they would have to pay for postage). I said I wanted 100%. We'll see. I really cant be arsed thinking any more about it for £8.

Thought I'd push the boat out and buy a 'proper' chain checker. I thought even a rip-off one couldn't be that bad so off to Ebay I went and splurged £8 on one. Even on the zero setting it won't fit into an XX1 chain with 600 miles on it. Chocolate fireguard springs to mind. Oh well, that got...

I remember some time back watching a Pole factory walkaround vid on YT, I think it might have been one of Robs, and coming from an engineering background the very first thing I thought was 'shit, this looks real nice'. Like a fully kitted out, well presented and maintained engineering shop with...

Finally, the first day I've been out and it actually felt like summer. Even the bluebells were out in my local country park :) For sure some places still boggy though as evidenced!

Can easily solve that problem by fitting a Volspeed ;) Some non-smart Bosch bikes had an official option for a 500wh extender including my Haibike. Unless you are being specific to a particular make/model?

I love the extent of engineering that went into that dropper :D

The hub dictates the width of the dropouts not the axle.
