Even if we were to assume that there is no Borrelia that causes human disease in australia, given the large number of other infections that are known to be present and are known to cause human illness, it is best to maintain tick awareness such as body scanning and proper removal. I have...
Yes, this is the exact part I'm talking about.
Your quote says they did not find the exact strains of Borrelia known to cause the disease named "Lyme disease"(sensu Lato) but they acknowledge that they did find other strain of Borrelia.
Around the world there are many strains of Borrelia that...
Yes, we do not have Lyme disease in Australia. 'Lyme disease' is only a very specific strain of Borrelia. but we have other strains of Borrelia (Lyme-like), which can also cause the bullseye rash and cause very similar symptoms. It is still not fully recognised that these infections specifically...
Ticks are fucked...
Me and my two best friends went camping (in Australia), we all got bit by about 20 ticks each and left within an hour didn't even take our tent down cuz they were all over it..
We ended up getting Lyme-like disease (strain of Borrelia, same type as Lyme), Bartonella and...
The thing that made me start being more careful when shifting is when I heard/read somewhere online that there is a bit of a 'disconnect' that you feel between the torque you put into pedalling, and the actual torque that hits the drivetrain, since the pedalling and the chainring are seperated...
Ever since I bought my bike, the Bosch kiox app doesn't seem to log/show the ascent/descent stats of each ride.
Is it just me or is it broken for everyone else too?
So I just recently got my first e-bike and I was wondering what you all do in terms of cleaning/lubricating etc.
Also specifically about the chain, I read that you shouldn't use degreaser on it because it will take out the internal lubricant that comes with the chain?
I want to clean my bike...
My lbs checked for chain wear and said it was very neglible.
And yeah, let me know how it all goes. Did you go for the 34t? I think I would like to try 36t as I use my bike for touring as well (which the Thron is for), so lots of time in the lower gears, however I'm unsure if there's enough...
It's easy to check for chainsuck,
Just use your phone to record video clearly capturing the chainring/chain with your right hand while you ride slowly up a hill of grass with high torque on the pedals (like what I was doing in my clip), you can match the sound to the chain bouncing as it comes...
Also I confirmed with Focus the chainline on the Thron (I'd imagine it's the same for the Jam), and that is 52/53mm. The steel e*spec chainring is 52 so that's a perfect fit.
Got my bike back from bike shop today, got the Ethirteen espec Bosch direct mount steel chainring installed. It's like a whole new bike. The pedalling is very smooth now, absolutely no chain suck at all. I checked with FSA and the chainring included with the bike does not support Shimano 12...
There's two SKUs. The Ethirteen website only lists the alloy one. The aluminium SKU is CR4UPA-100.
The steel SKU is CR4USA-100.
This is the chainring I installed:

So I got my bike back today from my LBS and they fit the E*Thirteen E*spec steel Bosch gen 4 direct mount chainring.
It has completely resolved my chain suck issue. It's honestly like a whole new bike. Pedalling uphill I feel a much better connection between myself and the bike. It is much more...
No, the Bosch motor is just the 'standard' much like a crank type, and then different manufacturers make different chainrings for it. IE FSA makes spiders + direct mount chainrings for Bosch gen 4, E*thirteen makes direct mount for it, many companies make them with varying chainlines, teeth...
Correct chain and chainring, so far as what focus selected for the bike. My theory is that my problem is at least in some part due to the fact that focus selected a chainring that does not specifically support 12 speed shimano chain as the tolerances are much tighter for Shimano 12 speed...
No, chainring is seperate from Bosch motor. The Bosch gen 4 is the "standard" much like a certain crank type, and different companies make different chainrings for it for different drivetrains.
It is very interesting that your sound came from the chainring area too and was actually the...
Since I posted the video in this thread, I did more discovering and found the noise is coming from the chain not being released from the chainring properly. (You can see the video in the link above your last post), so my noise isn't coming from the derailleur area. But I can check that anyway...
Thanks, I actually have a post going at the moment over in the focus subforum for this problem.
