    Trans Alp 2021

    Thought I would post a thread about my 2021 transalp. My Son and I are biking from home near Munich in Germany over the Alps, through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy to Lake Garda. Day one of our 2021 Transalp is behind us . We started at 9:00am in rain and 10 degrees Celsius. The first...

    Wow, that looked heavy in those conditions. If Hans Rey found it difficult, then it's not for me. I would die.

    Any recommendations for prescription mtb glasses ??

    I had glasses with clip ins for ages... but avoid these as they are a Pain to keep clean!. I tend to sweat a lot and when sweat drips between the lenses you have to pull them apart to clean which is a fiddle and takes too long. I also have Oakley frames with a standard photochromatic lens. It...

    Ouch. Looks like a pretty bad weld failure. Maybe you can get a new one on Guarantee ;) And Gidday and welcome.

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    For the types of rides I do, that would be quite good. If it's flat I normally have the motor turned off.

    Several other bike manufacturers use an Allen key to release the batteries. Usually a single bolt.

    How much for motor software upgrade

    Lazy bastards. All they do is hook the bike up to a computer, set some parameters and let it run. So from their time it is taking about 2 or 3 minutes.

    Greetings from Frankfurt Main Germany

    Tool is not really a bad thing. If it is a simple allen key, you can easily take one with you instead of a key. And if you forget, it, then it is not difficult to get one from another biker or something. I did a long ride with a friend of mine where we took 2 batteries. He forgot his key and we...

    Kiox problems with samsung Galaxy 10

    I have had to restart my phone occasionally before it will connect. NOTE: you have to start the "Bosch eBike Connect app" before it connects.

    It is an option. You can choose if you want it, or if you want to keep the old one.

    500wh Battery Range

    What Ricky said. It depends on terrain, your weight and the ground you are riding on. Also how much you use your legs. I don't look at the range setting any more, it is always way off and can make you nervous when you are going up hill. The calculation doesn't know that after going up, you...

    Crossed over to eMTB

    I changed over to emtb a few years ago after my Giant Trance was stolen. A friend convinced me to try an emtb before buying a new bike. I have been smiling ever since. And am much fitter than before because I ride much much more than I used to.

    Kiox problems with samsung Galaxy 10

    I have the same combo, Kiox & S10+ Have had ridiculous problems with the connection. If you stop and turn the bike off, when you turn it on again, then it wouldn't auto connect unless you stopped and re-sterted the bluetooth on the phone. I tried the Kiox navigation a few times and completely...

    You have £6k for a new bike which do you buy ?…..

    The blue one. Colour is the most important selection choice... otherwise I would have to change my outfit! ;-)
