Great info folks, thanks. Thinking about selling my analogue Enduro bike and if I do that I'll probably splash some of the money on a second battery.

So do you need a different battery cover to fit the 800wh battery to the 2022 Reign? I'm sure I read that you did have to change the battery cover but that chart suggests otherwise. 🤔

I've been riding my noneeb the last two days after I snapped the rear mech on the cheater bike. I really miss the motor when climbing (no surprise there) but riding the trails back down is an absolute joy on the conventional bike. It's so light and flickable and much easier to carry speed...

Interesting. I've recently started using wax lube (Squirt) for the same reason. The whole transmission stays much cleaner than when I used to use wet lube and although the chain looks dry and clean after washing the bike you can still feel the wax on it if you rub your fingers on the chain...

I bought a new XT rear mech to replace the one that I ripped in half while riding yesterday (a fallen tree branch kicked up and jammed in the cage). 🙄

I use my gears just as much as on a normal bike as well albeit I might not be in quite as low a gear but I'm changing gears just as often to try to stay in the cadence sweet spot and I'm on a full fat bike.

I massively overheated the original brakes riding the trails at the Golfie (Innerleithen) when I first got the bike back in August, that was what led me to swap the front rotor and pads to the E-Matrix and 220mm rotor. I just broke in the E-Matrix pads riding my local trails which tend to be...

Maybe I did overheat the E-Matrix pads then? I'll order another set to try as they're not too expensive. Given that I'm running XT brakes and a 220 (Uberbike 2mm wide) rotor I would imagine that the stopping power should be similar to your Saint set up (I have Saint brakes on another bike so I'm...

I have the ebike specific Uberbike pads on the front of my ebike and I've not been too impressed with them tbh. I've previously run Race Matrix pads on my conventional bike and been really pleased with them so when I saw the ebike ones I thought they were worth a go. I think I'm just going to...

I'm on an E+1 so can't comment on your brakes (although I swapped to a 220mm front rotor almost immediately on mine as it came 200mm Shimano discs which aren't enough imho). Regarding bash guards, I run a Rockguardz protector on my conventional bike (an Orbea Rallon) just to protect the carbon...

I'm fairly new to ebike riding and initially felt that I had to change techniques quite a lot. This was particularly the case on flowy sections where I'd just pump my bike through it (on a conventional bike) but found that I wasn't able to do this as effectively on the eeb. As time has gone by...

A pair of 155mm cranks to try in place of the OEM 165s on my Giant Reign. Just cheapo Mirandas but if I like them I may splash out on a pair of Hopes in that length.

I've had no issues patching the inside of tyres with normal inner tube patches, I've done it multiple times and they've always been fine. The key is to get the surface clean so I rub it down with sandpaper/wet and dry then clean the area thoroughly with either meths (denatured alcohol) or brake...

These ones definitely work although they aren't ebike specific. Make sure you fit it the right way up if you do buy this one, if you fit it upside down it'll clunk and make your chain jump every revolution (don't ask me how I know this)!🙄 Sram Eagle 12 Speed Power Lock Chain Link Connector...

It's quite hard to tell by eye as the chainring is positioned quite far back in relationship to the motor/bash guard assembly but I suspect that the bash guard is now lower. Since I fitted the 34 I've not had any impacts with either (whereas with the 36 it was happening quite often) so for me...

I'm British (English, living in Scotland for 30 plus years) and I'm with you Mountain Boy. I don't have any beef with the former queen as a person (she seemed a pretty decent sort overall) but the monarchy as an institution is just plain wrong imho (along with a lot of other British class...

Today's ride.

Mine is equally ugly Hobo Mikey but it makes a huge difference to how clean the bike is at the end of a ride!

I don't think you'd be able to fit anything more than one of those thin RRP Enduro Guard things in there and it's not going to do much to be honest. I put an RRP ProGuard XL on the rear of my bike (Giant Reign) in the hope that it would protect the suspension linkages and the rear of the motor...

The seat stays where the Zefal clamps go are already heli taped so hopefully it should be okay and as it's jammed on top of the RRP ProGuard it's absolutely solid and can't sag towards the tyre. I think the Maestro rear triangle on the Giant lends itself to this kind of set up as non of it moves...
