We have loads of broken flint and the dreaded Hawthorns. The thorns are savage not just to tyres but also clothing and particularly gloves. We have Maxxis DD tyres front, and rear either DD or currently DH (both High Roller 3). Tubeless of course.

Fortunately the Ebike Motor Centre is only about an hour from us so we're good. Didn't know that when we bought the Trek Rails in 2022, just got lucky.

The Ergotec Octopus 2 is very well engineered - if anything it is over engineered. Still have the Octopus 2 Ahead 50/ 31.8 / Black / 90mm stem in the garage.

As said in another thread, return the bike now.

That depends entirely on the CEO's future commercial outcome.

If braided don't offer a significant improvement in performance, why bother?

I would say, just do what now works best for your husband, that's what matters most. 😀

29 front and rear roll better over uneven surfaces.(y)

I think I've read on here of motors going into limp mode in order to be sure that there's enough battery left for lights. It might be possible to turn off this 'feature'.

At 187/6'2" L will be easier to manoeuvre and have shorter reach but at his height and inseam he is probably in XL territory. With his shoulders and elbow problems I think that it is most important to have an easily manoeuvrable bike. Ideally a manoeuvrable XL with shorter reach to help keep...

Reach etc. will be important, how tall is your husband please?
