and i found a crisp new $100 bill , that just makes a good morning excellent
Hi folks
My partners focus thron with gen4 motor is making an intermittent high pitch whining noise. Increasing with load and when the motor warms up .
3000km of use . We purchaced the bike with 2000km .
Is this just the normal variation of motor noise , ir is there a problem? My thron...
Ok thanks for the information
As for servicing /greasing the the hub , i have never done it myself. I wonder if my local bike shop would have done that when they replaced my rear cassette at 5000km
Will chat to the lbs in the next couple of days and find out the verdict

Ok I understand we are all concerned about covid . But why not wear mask and gloves , and sanitize bike before and after test ride . Ride bike out doors, maintain social distance. In my opinion would be more than safe . What about all the people going to woolies, touching products and putting...
Hi
Yeah i love the thron , the more i ride it the more im happy with the purchace .
800km so far , lots of rides , lots of after work quick spins , where previously i was on the couch watching Netflix.
The xl is really good for me im pretty tall ., i ordered mine through local bike store ...
Yeah , solo riding in the Bush means I like to be prepared and independent. Also carry multi tool with chain breaker cable ties and basic stuff . Have had to use tube , chain breaker and cable ties at one time or another to get me home .
Lots of fun , it loves hills , it makes riding so much more enjoyable. There so many great trails near home, ive headed out for a couple of rides straight after work . And today my partner ( who has an avanti e2low hybrid ) and i went for a longer cycle path ride together.
Battery life is...
