    Squealing Magura Brakes

    I would also think it is a stuck Piston. Try Cleaning them with some brake fluid and make sure all 4 are free.

    Which under seat bag do you use?

    I replaced my Topeak clip on, under seat bag with a more simple Evoc one. The clip system droped the bag so much that I kept getting tyre buzz on it.

    Motor issues? Kiox just shutting down...

    You can be lucky your Kiox still works. I was on holiday in Italy recently, and my wife's Kiox wouldn't turn on. (On or off the bike) Tried re-charging it. When USB was in, then it worked. I had to buy a new one. It is no longer under guarantee. It cost €215.00!!!! Ouch!

    Running lights from Bosch gen 4 power port...

    Read that thread, Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4? It explains a lot. What I got from it. (This is my interpretation so might be wrong) The displayed Percentage is what is available for assist, and takes into consideration the reserve for lights. If your motor cuts of before 0%, this is...

    Light Innertubes to carry as a spare for 2.6 tyres

    I guess my problem is that I use the Topeak Race rocket pump. One I can highly recommend, but it has the screw on valve connector. The Tubolito valves are simply too loose and come out too easily for this pump.

    Light Innertubes to carry as a spare for 2.6 tyres

    I got the Schwalbe Aerothan tube and it looks / feels excellent. I also got a set of Schwalbe Glueless Patches which are for the Aerothan tube. Small and light. Definitely looks like better quality than the orange Tubilito things and is about the same weight. So, I will take this as a spare...

    I haven't gone till the end for 2 years now, but I do know it shut off at 8% when I didn't expect / need it to.

    Any one changed their seat dropper?

    In answer to your first question, most likely yes. I replaced the inner cable with a new one, and squirted a bit of wd40 down the cable to help lubricate it. For the second question, I would also say yes as that was what I did when I changed to the PNW 200mm dropper post.

    Old fart on an E-Mtb

    Helmet is there. Robbie takes it off when going uphill or on the flat. Puts it on when the riding gets a little more dangerous.

    Which under seat bag do you use?

    Watch those things. they are expensive and crap! I had to use mine recently, and after pumping up the tyre, whenever I tried to un-screw my pump, the valve came out and I lost all my air. So I got out my valve key and tried to tighten it up. But it is soft plastic and just went further into the...

    New Cube 140 HPC 2022 750wh - Eco seems underpowered?

    I guess the question is, is it because the motor is giving more assist, or because the bike has more drag.

    New Cube 140 HPC 2022 750wh - Eco seems underpowered?

    Is it though? I make a point of starting all rides without any assist (If it doesn't start straight up hill). Then I get used to the bike without any motor assist. After that eco feels great. I was also the opinion that Eco was almost nothing, then recently I did a 2200m Vertical climb on Lake...

    New Cube 140 HPC 2022 750wh - Eco seems underpowered?

    I guess it depends on the type of riding you do. I want an Eco mode to be minimal power so I can prolong battery life for a long as possible, and maybe just even out the extra weight of the emtb over a normal bike. If I am riding 80KM and 2000m climb on a ride, I need a minimal assist to be minimal.

    How to break the bead off of the rim?

    Haha, I was just about to make the same suggestion. A friend came around recently after being at a bike shop where they couldn't remove his tyre. I thought I was megga inventive as I used my Workmate to pinch the tyre together, Worked a treat.

    Old fart on an E-Mtb

    I'm also heading towards the 61,000km mark and loving it. Also as fit as I ever was, largely due to the eMTB. Long challenging rides is what does it for me. Also windFoiling when I can. Here's a Ride I did with a couple of other same age old farts on Sunday.

    So, what to expect for 2023 models?

    Quite likely. As this year there was a big change with new frames etc, I would expect minor changes for next year. Maybe some models with the new Bosch Top Tube display. I would love to see a Mullet 160mm bike though
