I'm still trying to get my head around some T-shirts I saw this week which were labelled "Slim Fit" in size XXXL... :unsure:

Agree 100%. That's my experience too.

Is this the right time to bring up the Mars Lander..? :unsure::ROFLMAO:

32 ft lbs, which gives a torque of 44Nm. Which is around 50% above the maximum quoted torque. I understand that this directly tightens the motor bearings, which is why Bosch quote a low maximum value...

Beware! That's 4 US foot gallons... which is only 75% of the value of the 4 Imperial foot gallons used in most other parts of the world! ?

I'm a bit confused there. Do you normally check the torque on fasteners by undoing them? The Bosch spider locknut ring is a reverse (left hand) thread, so you tested it by undoing it. It's only torqued to 25Nm against a rubber O-ring, so it's easy to undo (mine are Locktited in place).

Did you hear that one whistling over everyone's heads...? ?

Focus Thron² (all models) has a two bolt fitting as well. My wife's came with the stand fitted. Mate of mine took delivery of his earlier this month and that was the first thing he added ( ? )

Then there's "valley floor", which is quite common, too. (I supposed that could be carpeted with bits of DH biker...)

It's likely to be the GEN2 motor. My mate bought a Lapierre HT in 2020 (2019 model) and that has the GEN2 motor with the small chainring. He loves it. (EDIT: Forgot to say: rain/wet ingress is not a problem in this part of the world.)

I think that's the GEN2 motor with the front, small chainring. As I understand it, the GEN3 motor has a full size chain ring and was/is used on commuter bikes. I have a feeling that the OP actually meant a GEN2 motor, rather than GEN3... As I understand it, one of the principle problems with...

What's expected to be looked at is in the Service Booklet (link here, just in case you can't find it). I'm sure I found a Spanish version on the web somewhere. Can't find the link again, unfortunately. (Not sure it would help you more than the English version in Portugal).

You have a very low opinion of the OP's bike shop, @steve_sordy :unsure: Do you live in a tough part of town? ?

Mine came without the bladder too. I use Deuter bladders and the pipe is not long enough because of the odd routing. I used the bladder as a reservoir to refill the bidon on the downtube. A comfortable bit of kit. Highly recommended if you are not desperate for a good hydration system (which...

As this video shows, it's a dealer setting intended to get you back into the bikeshop to give them more money...

Same here. Not least so that I have a contact phone number and email address just in case the vendor "forgets" to tell me that they are waiting for stock - even though the item was listed as "In Stock". (Which happened recently with one of my favourite German webshops. I got a grovelling apology...

I order a lot of stuff from them and have had no issues with them whatsoever. I've just returned an Ergon saddle to them for refund (too bloody uncomfortable), so I'll get an idea of how the reverse procedure works. However, like Luca in the message above, I'm also based in the EU, so our...

You'll be like the rest of us: you'll really worry about that tyre going down for the first few rides. Then when it doesn't(*), you'll wonder why you didn't do this from day one and be asking yourself how anyone could ride with tubes. (*) = one of my first attempts a going tubeless "let go"...

That's perfectly normal. You'll get a bit of seepage around the rims for tyres that have already been used with tubes. That will seal pretty quickly. Depending on the quality of tyre and rim, it might take a day or two for the seepage to stop. Be aware that if you stand your bike on its...

The range calculation on the Bosch Purion display is comical. This was the stated range 12km into a ride last summer:
