A simple enough job, cleaning the chain on my 2 month old Merida eOne-Sixty. But I thought I'd be a bit more thorough than usual, so I popped it up on my Park Tools bike stand as a recently mangled knee is stopping me bending down for a while. There's only one horizontal piece of top tube that...
@Gary not sure how my vertebrae would cope with over twice the pressure I've used for the last fifteen years! I left Hardtail Heaven behind a very long time ago :D
Too right I'm weak, in the extreme! After riding it on three weekends then jumping on my Trek Fuel for night rides the little 26er thing just flies, so maybe the Merida is making me stronger, I'd like to think so! I had considered saving up for lighter wheels and tyres but I fear the weight of...
I'm in the UK. This is a direct quote from the Shimano Steps UK web site where the motors are restricted to 15.7mph/25kph (EP8 e-Bike System – SHIMANO STEPS):

Hi all.
The mods I've done to this wee beastie since I got it at the end of October have more-or-less got rid of the pedal strike problem I was having (before you "change your riding style" folk start, I do have a little experience of rock gardens over the last 30 years with little trouble, I...
I've never had anything but Small/Medium MTBs but the only Merida eOne I could find was Large. I feel comfortable and maybe even a bit safer on it, somehow. I just shifted the saddle forward a little and that also helps with climbing steep stuff.
Yes, one of my thoughts was that the rotor magnet may have lost some strength so I stuck another one on top of it but it didn't improve things. Must have knocked it off trying it out!
Thank you all so much for the help and lack of abuse! Here's what I told my buddies on FB this morning:
I'm still trying to figure out the answer boys. Someone online suggested a magnet problem, possibly in the wrong position (impossible as it turns out) or a magnetised disc rotor (easy to see...
