I snap off the derailuer's if applying power in a high gear, sometimes chains], [110nm torque] , i just avoid the top gear and ride low to middle gears, thats enought to beat $15000 bikes:D

I v been using the Altus 7 speed because of the 7 speed chain being stronger, i snapped few of the 9 speed chains , and the 7 speed deraileurs are only $14 on ebay. All the breakages have been due to rocks, sticks and the nut behind the handlebar not putting the chain on properly after dropping...

I find all those adjustments unnecessary , i would set a bike[any bike] on full max power and full runout , and if you want to save the battery ,turn it off . I just work/ride around those perimeters .

Another deraileur bites the dust.

I'll give that a go , thanks.

Just fitted some secondhand rear brakes , the lever feels solid but needs to be pumped once to get braking happening[bled it 100 times , no air definitely ] , the thing is the caliper is a 4 pot and master cylinder is from a 2 pot system, so , is there differences with the 4 and 2...

Thats impressive , did not know it was such a big operation , the m100 should be used on more bikes , especially instead of the Shimano motors .

Ok , made a return then , like the presta , either way presta is crapier .

Schrader valves didn't come into bicycles until the mid 1970s , it was a game changer as french valves were not liked[eg make and put car valves on bikes or else], but how and why french valves made a comeback is beyond me.:D

My one really gets a beating , im amazed it still works after 2 years of racing .

Thanks again , good info .

I swapped out most of the bolts with titanium bolts , caliper,stem etc, cheap of ebay . Feel good thing:)

I have a 2.60 Mitas tyres that have similar cracking going on , and some areas look like someone has slashed with a knife. It was suggested that someone was too liberal with the release agent in the mould , making the surface weaker , but all the rubber is still there on the inside .[what ever...

We all know that the overrun is there to stop the jerkyness /to give the power delivery on each[in between] pedal push / stop the/on/off scenario , yes? so every ebike has overrun ,otherwise it would be unridable , but the distance can differ .

I was just looking down the seat post tube in the frame , [apparently all emtb motor fails are due to water ingress ] , i hope that hole does not allow water into the motor??[cant really see]as the tube gets a lot of spray from the rear wheel spray.

Unfortunately" bike discrimination" runs rife in the MTB/EMTB planet , just turn up on cheap China emtb and hear the comments from the Spezilisedgianttreketc brigade , if there was no ebikes ,other brands etc , we would poke fun at the colors of the bike .

What is amazing the amount of brands , and those listed are not all of them , must be lots of profits in emtb's

Over run is governed by the UCI/ cycling federation , so pretty much all should be the same or few cm difference , a bit like the 25km limit.

OMG i wore out my brake pads , damaged the bike , cuts and bruises ,just watching that . Send me a box of band aids please ...
