    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    Indeed I do. Although I bought the Powerpull BTL-14 for half the price of the CCP-44. It works fine. As does the Unior spider tool. Now I just need to find a source of chain rings to suit my Shimano setup. :cry:

    Strava "EMTB Forums Club"

    Well... you would be able to see the interesting routes... except the board leaders have their settings set to private so you can't see that they are doing their 1000km a week in the car :ROFLMAO:

    Bosch crank puller

    I'm pretty sure that the 2020 Trek Rail 5 has a Gen 4 motor.

    First emtb at 59.

    Speaking as someone well past 60, my opinion is that the only positive thing about having three 20 year old girlfriends would be that they can talk among themselves and so we can go out to play. I mean, who really wants to discuss fashion, make up and false nails when there are trails to be ripped?

    Bosch crank puller

    Beware: that looks like a Park Tool CCP-22 which is NOT suitable for Bosch Gen 4 motors. That end bit is too small and disappears into the hollow axle without giving any purchase for the puller to work with.

    Bosch crank puller

    If it's the Bosch Gen 4 then you need Park Tool CCP-44. (From personal experience I can tell you that ordering the CCP-22 is not a good idea ?‍♂️)

    Pannier racks for eMTBs

    A very impressive carrying capacity. I went for a trailer because of the poor load carrying capability of the racks I'd found. This one would certainly have done the job. Given the axle provided, the price tag at over $200 seems reasonable.

    Why do people have a problem with ebikes?

    Yup. That would do it :ROFLMAO:

    I didn’t know that!

    An offence here in Spain, too. Although you can't refuse the breath test, but you do not lose your driving licence as you would in Germany. A sort of compromise between the Brit and German positions ? A bit like driving on roundabouts, every country has its own rules... and every visitor thinks...

    Why do people have a problem with ebikes?

    That's not entirely dumb. I've had no end of people being surprised that the bike doesn't recharge the battery on the downhills or while I'm pedalling. The "hybrid car" approach to e-biking, you might say. Try not to think of the comments as critical. You might well be surprised that folks...

    Why do people have a problem with ebikes?

    Me and the missus bought our first tandem 45 years ago when we lived in Britain. Then there was that f@"$£%ing advert for tea with the chimps. "Can yer raide tan dum?" was shouted after us for decades. At first it was annoying, irritating and then utterly infuriating. It slowly dawned on us...

    More training and fitness with emtb?

    Shucks... at my age I think I'd exceed that getting out of the armchair... :rolleyes:

    I didn’t know that!

    Worse: the alcohol blood limit in Germany also applies to muscle powered bicycles. If you get caught boozed up on your pushbike you lose your driving licence! Beware!

    Bosch CX gen 4 chainring nut

    I should perhaps point out that the chain ring on my Focus Jam² is a FSA Megatooth G4 direct mount 34T with, what seems to be, an 8mm offset. This doesn't appear anywhere in the FSA catalogue. FSA do appear to be planning a direct mount spider to take replacement chainrings but, as yet, these...

    Bosch CX gen 4 chainring nut

    Ah, okay. I'm looking for the Shimano version. I see that the SRAM chainrings are available in Germany for a lot less than the Ohio dealer wants. (Sorry, comes up in Spanish. It will probably appear in English if you do a refresh)...

    Bosch gen 4 noise

    Not sure if you'd found this link in one of the previous posts. (Sorry, I've forgotten who posted it, but he did me a huge favour). The manual is only of interest from page 112 onwards. It also shows you the plug locations on page 114. https://issuu.com/boschebikesystems/docs/boschae_hb2020_uk

    Bosch CX gen 4 chainring nut

    Where did you source the chain ring, please?

    Bosch failures?

    Are you including or excluding the 504 failures caused by tampering with (or bypassing) the speed limiter?

    The MTB videos Thread. Funny, Serious, Cool ... Share them here.

    I wonder what bait he uses. I've never managed to catch one of those on my line... :unsure:

    Glad to hear(!) you've cleared that up easily. :ROFLMAO: Now go enjoy your bike! ?‍♂️?
