I wouldn't be surprised if canyon reseated the connector in the motor. It probably looked ok to them. I used to work on computers, and often reseating all the connectors would solve the problem. So, where the speed sensor is - your magnet will be on the spoke or rotor; the sensor will be...
Also, if you haven't derestricted, have a look at the magnet and pickup. Although if your display is showing your speed, that rules that theory out. Put display on speed, lift rear wheel and give one hard down stroke on the pedal while you're standing next to the bike - is the speedo registering?
I just had a look at kernersville - it looks interesting. We live in steep country; 100m from the front door is a huge descent, then a huge climb to get to track about 800m. The top blue arrow shows the saddle I ride into from the coming from the top of the photo. Middle arrow shows my track...
exo+ should be pretty tough. I use exo and ride in steep rocky country all the time - never had a problem except for one pinch flat due to low pressure :( I'm not a hard rider though.
emtb and pedal strike seem to be a common thing; it was an insight for me. On my acoustic bikes I rarely had pedal strike and they have longer cranks. In my experience, suspension always comes too hard. I wouldn't be surprised if sag wasn't your problem! I have never been able to even get ball...
Air compressor is an awesome idea! I use mine after a ride (or before next ride) to blast dust off wheels, gears, rotors, and especially inside the calipers. Lots of uses if you have an air gun attachment
Those integrated gauges do get you in the ball park. They fluctuate a fair bit though; you have to over inflate then get accuracy with a stand alone gauge. The integrated gauge is really measuring the pressure in the hose, not the tyre, which is 50cm or more away. Which explains why I have to...
It's good that you can afford to update regularly. The future is looking good for a new category of light weight emtb. My partner is small, < 5 feet; lightweight emtb's are on my radar too, albeit very small ones :)
Geez - I'm amazed you stayed with them! Still, if you can't fault their warranty, and don't keep the bikes beyond their warranty... Still a hastle to have to deal with repairs though, when you could be riding. I tend to keep things for a long time; what happens after the two years? It's a good...
I wanted aluminium, for an easy life. Wheels with a good spoke count. I'm not a hard rider. I thought shimano quality and engineering is usually pretty good. I didn't want something with hard to get battery or replacement parts. For an easy life battery and motor should be widely used and widely...
My first ride yesterday with new 203 freeza rotor. When I replaced the rotor, I also replaced the pads - the spring had just started to scrape. It wasn't my usual steep up and down ride, which is good - I'll explain. We did a ride that was a gradual 12km climb along the side of a ridge to the...
Mine have some wobble. The continentals on my acoustic bike too. So long as my wheels are straight :). I don't have any bad wobble, although that is subjective. If it was a road bike I'd be concerned. With all the rocks around here, it isn't really an issue.
I'm kind of limited because of sizing. My bike came with 29x2.5 on front and 27.5x2.6 on rear. I really like that combo - they were both high volume type tyres which I also like. My choice is assegai exo maxterra wt front. Summer rear is dhf dual compound wt exo, winter is dhrII dual compound wt...
Just general info, I was curious about warranty on shimano motors - it looks like two years; that's shimano Australia. For me that means ride as much as possible - it will probably take me two years to get 5,000km - each ride is around 20-28km all steep.
flatslide: yes, it looks as though the majority of ebike batteries and chargers work like that. For the model charger that I have though, shimano gives a different scenario - they're either wrong or there is some intelligence built in somewhere. I will plan my future charging times based on...
