    Repair DTSwiss HX1501 rim - rebuild or replace?

    I've got some a significant ding my rear rim (HX1501, alloy with 240 hub). It's deformed enough that the paint is gone and the rim wont hold air. I managed to fix it a few times with some glue/putty to recreate the rim's sidewall profile and get the tyre to seal up OK, but over time the putty is...

    Kenevo SL Best Kenevo SL 1.2 on sale price in Aus?

    I'm considering picking up a Kenevo SL Comp, moving all factory-level parts from my YT Capra to it, and rebuilding the Capra with the Kenevo's new Comp gear to sell. Of course it depends on the price of the KSL to begin, so what's the best discount price people have seen? Ideally pricing from...

    SRAM Eagle T-Type Transmission Compatibility Thread

    I need to replace my Eagle chain. It's a standard, non-transmission Eagle setup. Has anyone just slapped a transmission chain on the standard Eagle cassette? My existing Eagle kit is all X01. I understand the chain's rollers are slightly different diameters between Eagle and transmission...

    Post Your Pole Pics

    That's scary news on the front triangle though? Any pics of that separation? Something else to keep an eye out for now! I had actually thought that the ID models came with the new swingarms already? Is your swingarm still the original design?

    Anyone use Anti-Pedal Kickback Tech on EMTB?

    I'd been wondering if the Sidekick hub would be a good bandaid for motor rattle... I've been meaning to do a quick run without a chain fitted to get an idea as to to how much (if any) of the rattle is removed. Given the rattle is specifically from that pedal kickback, I was hoping for good...

    MEGABOBRA: Bosch Smart System Derestriction for Rim Magnet - DIY Project with Support

    Hi Henno, My original tutorial won't work with that firmware version. That said, I don't expect there's any changes needed to the code, it'd just be the magnet design that needs updating to match the later firmware requirements. Yes you could try the two coils, or otherwise see what inspiration...

    I thought it could be that passing magnet on the wheel might interfere with the true rim magnet pickup within the motor housing.

    New Bosch Gen 5 rumours

    Thanks Shark. So is it possible to mount the gen5 motor in a bike with mounts for gen4, using some adapter plates?

    New Bosch Gen 5 rumours

    Has anyone seen any commentary around placement of a Gen5 CX in a Gen4 CX mount? I took the below snip from a video on the Gen 5. It actually looks to be a gen4 motor with a pair of mounts to bolted on to suit the gen5 two-bolt profile? Full video here. There's no comment on the mount...
