    Not an EP8 rattle when pedaling

    Have no clue what this EP8 rattle is.. over 2000 miles on Canyon Spectral On. Zero rattle. ZERO. Now my Trek Powerfly before with the motor everyone loves, BOSCH rattled.

    Went through water today, wet f**king feet again, p*issed off :(

    Giro Blaze ‘Everything's been done’ on YouTube just did a whole wet weather shoe riding shootout and I think every shoe mentioned above were in the ‘test’. Giro seemed like it was best, it’s like a shoe within a gaiter, all in one.

    Pedalling e-bike when motor turned off

    Wouldn’t taking off the chain and spinning the cranks give you a realistic “feel” for what drag the motor may or may not be giving?

    New Pinion integrated gearbox and motor (MGU)

    I’m all for this technology.. I do have reservations about using a belt drive on emtb. Small stones can EASILY jam into the cogs on the drivewheels and cause belt wear. On a motorcycle (and I know this certainly not the same) stones caught in the cogs can eat up a kevlar belt in minutes...

    Canyon - Aftercare and aftersales

    No problems with my Canyon Spectral ON and over 1500 miles. Had one small issue at the start with battery pack lock but that was my fault, Canyon didn’t really know what to do (thread on here regarding shimano battery lock breaking). Shimano however sent me free of charge a replacement lock...

    Phone and car keys

    not so sketchy here, mostly trails so tbh my iphone is on a quadlock on my bars along with a safety tether. My keys are in my backpack, a USWE.

    Tire sealant? Does it DO anything?

    Nothing like the “turn-in” in on new set of motorcycle tires! Definitely feels so different after changing from a somewhat flattened 7,000 mile tire. Agree, 100%

    Bike Prices and Quantum Entanglement

    Wish emtb had more USA followers.. but thats besides the point. Along with besides the point, Porsche and Rolex prices are still crazy and in demand in the US, but are cooling. But even with “cooling” .. still ridiculous. I don‘t know of any real deals like that Pivot Rob listed at the...

    Shimano battery in frame 504w stuck and won’t release!

    If you really get stuck, and I know you don’t want to have to drill it out… but, it’s really not bad at all. If you look back in this thread, I and others have exact details to safely get your battery out.

    Are they really that unreliable?

    I’ve gone from Bosch motor in a Trek Powerfly that literally rattled in bumpy terrain (which seems to be the contrary here) and due to known battery connection issue would sometimes in rooty, rocky sections cut off, but still it was a great motor, to now an EP8 in a Canyon Spectral. I have...

    My advice to you: avoid aging!

    That’s just to see how empty your bladder is…. That’s a walk in the park. Wait till they want to ultrasound the prostate. 😱😂. Ohhh, don’t worry…. There’s plenty of lube used for that one, too 😂😂😂🥺

    My advice to you: avoid aging!

    Why yes…. I have. Personally the prostate ultrasound done in the you know what 😳 was not my favorite. Of course it was a young good looking girl performing it and.. I’m on my side , bare assed and she keeps telling me to scooch closer. It felt like hearing about women getting a pelvic exam...

    My advice to you: avoid aging!

    You had a more invasive (if I can call it that) procedure than I did as your procedure is for much more enlarged prostate than mine was. Having the catheter removed is nothing, slides right out after they deflate the saline bubble.. no worries snd anything is better than that thing! 😳 If you...

    My advice to you: avoid aging!

    I’m here for you. Wondering what procedure you had? I had cath for 5 days, then tbh I had hematuria at times for about 5 weeks off and on. Stopped at about ten days then at three weeks came on strong. 😳 I feel like I wasn‘t really advised well enough as to what to expect.. ugghhh. Hang in...

    My advice to you: avoid aging!

    Just my take... (and I hope OP goes better then my case) I had Rezum prostate surgery 4 months ago,( 65 yo)after a month I tried to ride and still no go. Finally was able to ride and felt pretty good. Btw, still have to pee all the time but the flow is good. Now, not so good. About 6 weeks...

    4.1.9. ep8 firmware

    I also got that email which as was said I don’t think is relevant…. However what it reminded me to do was check/perform the upgrade. After successfully doing all upgrades (3) I also changed the effort (downgraded its kick-in) at which the e helps on ECO. It must be in my head but doing a 21...
