Not sure what you're trying to take off. You can just remove the 4 chainring bolts to access the blocked allen bolt to remove the plastic cover :cool:

I think you're reading too much into it. It's a different bike, different frame, possibly different factory altogether. You wouldn't go into a normal bike shop and 'Aha! you're not stocking the £3000 bike because it's better value and you make more money off the £4000 one!' :ROFLMAO:

It could for sure. It just depends on how much serviceability you want to maintain. The best heatshrink for sealing things up is the adhesive-lined stuff, but a that point you're gluing everything together at the same time. Non-adhesive and then seal up where the wires enter with sealant could...

A word of warning if you're going to try and attempt to seal up the whole compartment. Don't forget that seals work both ways. Anything you do to try and keep water out, could end up doing a very good job of keeping the water in! Sitting the connectors/motor in it's own little puddle probably...

Yeah, they seem to have gone with "fully sealed, IP67" connectors and thought that would take care of it. As someone who designs electronics for the agricultural industry, I can tell you that in real-world wet conditions those connectors will not prevent water ingress issues occurring. I'm...

I'd be tempted to say it's a manufacturing defect which has always been there (though perhaps previously filled with paint), not sure what that means for your next move though.

I doubt they're suggesting it's a non-oem swingarm, just that it's a service part and so not got decals, as they are applied later in the manufacturing process. @Yorkshirelad You've obviously got quite a negative view of Focus & Rutland for (very) understandable reasons. Playing devil's...

" Going out! I'll be back when my battery is flat. " Yep, a familiar call now in my house! :D Looks great mate, enjoy!

Edit. Apologies, seems the Fathom E+ Pro might be different. Probably similar though. Sounds like the latch is nowhere near adjusted correctly. Assuming it's the same as my Trance, there are 2x T25 Torx screws on the underside of the down tube which can be loosened and then the whole latch can...

Yep, I agree. Sorry dude, but I don't think you're doing yourself any favours continuing to dismantle it yourself. You're going to end up being denied a warranty claim because it's been tampered with too much. I dread to think how much a frame is to buy as a replacement.

Yeah, nah. I think you're making a whole load of assumptions, all of which may or may not be true. The bikes are completely different and any comparison is arbitrary. The only figure you probably should be able to compare directly is the torque, but even that's assuming all manufacturers are...

Those settings are over double what I commented on, but also... You do realise you're in the Giant section commenting on a post about a Trance, right? I'll admit I skimmed over the fact mtbross mentioned Rocky Mountain and that explains the discrepancy. The default settings on the Trance...

Not sure if you've realised but the Embolden-E is just a Stance-E in female form and the Intrigue-E is just a Trance-E. The frame dimensions are obviously altered for the women, but everything else corresponds, I believe.

Just as long as it is safe and you're not doing further damage. Sounds like you've had some shitty luck. Not sure what your plan is, but if it's to try a warranty claim I would get the process started sooner rather than later, even if that means you'll be without the bike for a while. I have no...

Hi @Phal44 , am I right in thinking you're still riding this bike with that busted up motor mount? Like, I'm not wanting to criticise but I really think you should get some help with this before you have a catastrophe. I just skimmed back over your posts and I'm a bit worried your either gonna...

What? ? At that point you might as well not bother mate and just ride a lighter (and cheaper) acoustic bike.

Cool choice! Have you found one in stock somewhere? The last I heard all the Orbea's were being sold well before they were built.

I'm always a bit confused as to why people jump to what their "rights" are. In my experience, you're far better off setting out what you think is a reasonable level of service in these cases, and you need to consider that position from all perspectives. Take your example, your suggestion is for...

In answer to your questions... A lot better. Even just 120 is nearly 5 inches of bump absorbing on the rear wheel. I would say those types of lumps and bumps are exactly what a 120 travel bike is suited to. It's not 'too much' for a short travel FS, a hardtail or a gravel bike in the right...

Pretty sure you're actually better off re-using quick links. I mean, think about it. If you need a plumber who are you booking, the 'old-hand' veteran who has laid more metres of copper than you've had hot dinners, or the straight outta college, rookie who's read all the books but never turned a...
