My usual circuit is 20km but has a lot of climbing. I only use eco and that is in the 2nd lowest setting. Sometimes I use trail if I'm sessioning an obstacle. Sometimes when riding with a friend I stay on trail - it's a good match for his setting - then I can use around 80%, but not often. If...
I'd rather have a mounted gun :). We have rabbits :LOL:. Although I could imagine using it becoming addictive, and move on to other things - old folk that are walking too slow :oops: :LOL:. No, the gun is a bad idea - imagine game of bike? :unsure: Or shooting out a log so that you don't have...
Those inserts look problematic to me because of the channels - not a great design for sealant use. So you don't use those inserts with your other bikes? Have you looked at tannus tyre liners? I have one on the rear, with a smaller tube and it just works, no sealant needed. Do you need an insert...
In the scheme of things it does seem fairly minor, especially a year down the track. You have had the significant problems dealt with - that's good. I'd try to enjoy the bike for as long as you have it - you'd might as well. Do you still have a year's warranty left?
Surprise surprise, the latest EMBN video :LOL: "Is The Motor More Important Than An E Bike's Geometry?". Now, straight away my cynical mind screams "SPECIALIZED!" Of course they went geometry over motor; they didn't mention that most bikes now have awesome geometry, but whatever :LOL:
It's pretty easy for me. I use a timer for the ebike, charge it to 60% after most rides. Once a month or longer I charge it to 100% and generally do two rides on that before charging again. For my phone I just use the timer on the phone to check the amount of charge - I generally charge it to...
I'm 5'11" on an xl, although in reality it is between a L and an XL. My seat is possibly just a bit higher than the hand grips. I also have the seat as far forward as it can go because I'm usually climbing or descending steep country; without this, I'd probably go a large. Are you comfortable in...
It would be awesome to see it race in the very specific conditions it was designed for, as that dude suggested :LOL:. I thought, "we don't know what discoveries will be made". And I also thought, "there is a limit to slackness, especially when you take versatility into account". Then I had a...
Then it's already a good buy :) I know there are accumulated creaks and groans and various workarounds for various old injuries as we get older, but I really believe true old age is more about having no passions. For the more base of us there is that saying "he who dies with the most toys wins"...
It looks awesome. I have a merida e140 ltd which is a 135 / 130mm travel ebike, lower specced than yours. I really like it. I ride mostly blue with some black; it's all steep. For the majority of riding I haven't found this lacking. I probably use it close to it's full capabilities (suspension...
The reviews for shimano software on g00g1e p1ay are pretty poor. I used mine a few times initially without a data connection on my phone to be safe, and it was OK. I haven't updated, and won't unless there is a good reason to. Good luck
I assume you've taken the battery out and checked those terminals? It suggests no power is getting through, so the battery. One other possibility is try putting the battery on the charger - for some bizarre reason it could be dead flat?
I decided that I could no longer trust the majority of youtube reviewers of emtb. There are a few gems that appear to be unbiased; trail talk MTB and emtb videos. There are many others of course, but they aren't necessarily regular reviewers. Anything done by EMBN I can always see the ulterior...
If it is latex based, supposedly, you can add some ammonia to it which stops it going off so quickly. I make my own mix; I add some ammonia if it is the warmer time of year.
Getting back to the OP's question though, I think he believes it may have something to do with using an insert. Looking...
Yes, of course. They actually have a section that deals just with automotive issues. That's probably 3 or 4 years ago; they could have changed. My experience was a bit of a cliche at the time; it seemed to be a common experience. Even in the news, many saying that they had been reigned in by the...
