You think you've got troubles! When I queried the Bosch website on where I could get my Gen 4 software updated, the closest dealer was in France... fine, except I live near Gibraltar... :mad:

No. You can only pair the Bosch motors with the Bosch displays - although the new releases in July will let you pair their displays with a smartphone.

Seems so :( https://www.emtbforums.com/community/threads/bosch-gen-4-noise.12737/#post-175747

Easily! It just depends on how much you are willing to push those pedals. In the following ride I did just a little less climbing than you but pushed out nearly two and a half times the number of calories. That said, about 25km was asphalt, which makes a big difference on range. The rest was...

It was. Took a whole 5 minutes to change. Only 2 strands left, so I wasn't a moment too soon. It looked like a faulty cable join.

Took one look at that on their website and my mouse started moving over to the "buy now" button on amazon.es all by itself :eek: Damn but tool porn is addictive! :LOL:

Busily mouthing off to someone this morning about how I'd always preferred hydraulic actuated dropper posts because cables have a habit of snapping too darned often, but how I was now a convert because the KS dropper works so well. Actuated the lever to demonstrate and noticed that the cable...

I second the X-Tools set. Sad to hear it's no longer available. Anything left handed that needs torquing, you'll need the Park Tools torque wrench which seems to be the only one which is properly calibrated. There are other reversible torque wrenches available on Amazon, Ebay, whatever, but...

You can see a description here. Basically, the Kiox displays the next bit of the route calculated by your smartphone as a wiggly line. Seems a bit primitive in all honesty.

Given the colour of the water as soon as I start up the bath, I reckon so. Whether I use the ultrasonic cleaner or not depends on how long I've run the chain and in what conditions. Light use following my wife around (and her chain, which is all fire road and asphalt use) only gets the...

Sounds like something an adult would say to a 8 year old... ?

I've got one of those too! She also rides uphill covering the brakes just in case she rolls back...

Or, one month in and you're "E*POWAH Elite"? ? I think the points system got screwed with the recent board upgrade.

A packet of white powder being shipped in from China. What could possibly go wrong...? :LOL:

Well I would feel sympathy for them... but 3 fine days and they're all complaining that the ground is too hard and dusty, and that it's way too hot to ride uphill :whistle:

Gentler on the legs than my rusty razor blade too. The PTFE helps no end with sliding through the wind... Until I switched to the wax bath, I also used Squirt. Trouble is that it melts in the sun and has left splodges all over the patio paving - much to the disgust of the boss :eek:

According to the workshop manual, 20Nm - which isn't very much, so loctite is your friend. It's well worth getting a Torx 40 Plus. It has a different shape to give better contact and make torquing easier. They seem to be available in Britain, but an absolute bugger to find here in Spain. I got...

That video has been updated. Oz Cycle no longer recommends using liquid parafin. Instead he adds PTFE. I've been using his latest recipe and run two chains on a Shimano SLX 12sp setup. Currently just under 3000km with less than 5% stretch on both chains but I can definitely see wear on the...

I was going to recommend the Magura Vyron wireless dropper, but I see the price is now 50% more than I paid earlier this year. I wouldn't pay the current asking price. The advantage of wireless was that there was no need to drop out the motor to run the dropper cable. As it's been a bugger to...

So, two days at 130km per day and most of the 3300m climb in the first day! :eek: You sure didn't suffer from range anxiety, did you?! :LOL: Absolutely wonderful stuff. Just goes to show what is possible on an EMTB tour. Now just waiting for you to open the border to us here next door and I...
