You may not need it at all. Its only there to help prevent your chain from falling off the chainring in rough riding. I'm convinced some manufacturers put it there for looks to separate their bikes from the competition. Todays narrow wide chainrings combined with clutch derailleurs do a pretty...
Not sure if your aware but your SLX 12 speed shifter has 2 way shifting on the down shifter. You can use your index on that one from behind with your hand gripping the bar. So you can just keep your hand in the fist like position over the shifter and maybe that will be more ergonomic for you...
Its interesting how the new spring did the exact same thing, manufactured at a different plant and having a very slight difference in design. It must be the caliper itself? Perhaps it is sitting too low on the rotor so the rotor comes up higher inside the caliper? Thats the only thing i can...
Also, I bent It at the very top by putting two flat head screwd drivers together flat to flat evenly and pushing it against a table in that small slot. So I didn't bent the legs unevenly or something. Just kept bending bit more bit more until it didn't rub. I didn't actually take the bike for...
I was having this problem on my BR-MT520 the intermittent rubbing, did all the usual, aligning caliper, resetting pistons, even tried new rotor and break pad nothing fixed it. It was the spring rubbing against the rotor. I bent the spring apart a bit and now it doesnt rub. Not sure why thats...
It's normal for the motor to shut off at 20mph, thats the limitter kicking in.
Previous ebikes had a big problem with going over the speed limit like it feels like theres a 'drag' on your pedalling, however the bosch cx gen 4 motor is one of the first motors that mostly 'solves' this problem...
Kiox has both magnet and spot for a screw to secure it in. Although my bike didnt come with the extra screw. The screw hole is in the center of the magnet (have a look!)
I use this mount from KTM, i figure it protects the kiox more then the stem mount.
No.
The only thing you can do with it disconnected, is browse through the previous rides stats using the light button, and i assume also connect via bluetooth to sync previous rides with the bosch ebike connect app.
So the EMTB-lite, thats just on Treks isnt it?
How does it work in terms of which modes are loaded at the same time? I know you can load tour+ and emtb at the same time, but where does emtb-lite fit in? Is it tour or tour+, and sport or emtb or emtb-lite?
If you think Shimano is just making things up that's fine, im just trying to answer your questions.
The diagram is showing the increased sized base of the teeth. It's also showing a bit of the newly designed chamfered teeth profile that affects how the chain ramps up and down the cassette...
The only way you can get this update is by taking your bike to any bosch certified store that has the bosch software on their computer.
You don't need to take it to the place you bought it from.
Some stores will do it for free, some will charge. Most will do it for free if you ask while they are...
