Yes I've seen a few new brands launching ebikes with Shimano motors. I get why they have to use Shimano as they are too small to buy Bosch motors. Even pole, who as know has gone bust, had to buy Bosch via a third party. Problem I see is that no-one wants a Shimano powered ebike, so I don't see...

All use 11 speed chain. You need to change cassette, mech and shifter to linkglide/cues.

Sounds dodgy but worth a look if local. Some owners/sellers are utterly clueless. My serial sticker has worn off but there are a few locations on the frame where the serial number is I think.

Yes that's the one. Dont mix up the jump and the flashspeed, quite different.

No complaints. Although be aware you don't get 1500wh from it. More like 1000wh based on testing with a specialized charger drawing about 180w. So good enough for 1 full charge and 2 lunchtime partial charges with a 700wh bike battery. Edit oh the jump? I would suggest the flashspeed being...

Whats the a2c of that fork?

Although probably a very small market, merlin are selling DT swiss 3 pawl steel freehubs for £22.99 down from £75, 69% off. In fact most of their DT swiss freehubs have big discounts. My particular use case was to replace the SRAM XD driver on my DT 370 hub to allow linkglide cassettes to fit my...

Yeah I don't understand that. If the original bike is supposed to be 64° or thereabouts and you raised both axles by 20mm plus an additional 20mm for a 29 fork, a 2.5° change in ha seems wrong.

Full 29 ? Ha on my mullet with a 40 with a2c at 596mm is 62° with flipchip high. Edit - of course the phone app I use to measure may not be particularly accurate.

Oh I was basing my reply on UK £ but it seems you aren't UK, so no idea I'm afraid. Good luck anyway.

Sounds way to much for a 5 year old bike with no warranty.

No. Best I've seen is certini at £600

Hopefully you got it for a very good price as if it's got motor, battery or suspension issues this can quickly get very expensive. Post some pics up when it's done👍

Sent it in for servicing before you ruin it further, possibly rendering it irreparable or adding further to the repair cost.

I only ever ride midweek, so it's usually easy to get a booking a few days before after a weather check. I don't think I would use a pedalup option if it was available. I like the ebike for lapping short southern bikeparks, but for bigger hills I would use the bus every time. I have seen an...

Quite agree. I would do research though before buying a brand to ensure it can be easily delimited. Specialized comes top of the list for me. Over 4 years with zero problems. I really CBA with all this limp home foolishness other manufacturers use.

Yes it's a shocker. Was a fantastic site and their livelihood destroyed. I did see they intend to open some tracks this summer for pushup / ebike up, although with other decent sites nearby, it could be a tough sell unless local.

Cleaning? I only ride when the sun's out, not that it has been much this year, but I used it from August onwards last year. It's no hotter than the previous Troy lee armour I owned. I would wear armour though regardless of whether I was too hot after being badly injured. I won't ride without it.

Fork a2c 596mm. They can be lowered by 7mm easily despite fox's warnings. Plenty of clearance between seals to crown, tyre to crown etc. Flipchip high. BB height 347mm Ha 62°

After a failed attempt to buy a pole voima and feeling very lucky to have received a refund, my kenevo is now into its 5th bikepark season! There is absolutely nothing I would change. Fox40 grip2. Ohlins ttx22. Saint brakes. Magura 220mm rotors. Santa Cruz carbon mullet wheels. Hope 165mm...
