    Question to bike 6.8 plus with Bosch motor

    Just a thought, if it's a 1x12 setup, then type in your chain type and cassette type into the Shimano site. From memory, you need either 5 or 6 links, not two. That's why it's important to check the dealer's manual.

    Covid 19 worries !

    I'm up with you there: after more than a month in lockdown, I appear to be wearing a rats' nest on my head where my hair used to be. Just waiting for the tenants to move in...

    Question to bike 6.8 plus with Bosch motor

    If you are using a Shimano drivetrain, go to this link and type your derailleur model into the search field. In the listing look for the dealer manual (DM) and this will tell you all you need to know for setting up the correct length of chain.

    Covid 19 worries !

    From the comments to that video: No, a rat study with marginal results does not prove that cell phones cause cancer, no matter what <em>Mother Jones</em> and <em>Consumer Reports</em> say 5G Is Coming But, if you are still worried, may I recommend this :unsure: Bacofoil also make some...

    What's in your backpack?

    Pretty much everything that I see listed above, but with two absolute essentials: sun lotion and mosquito repellent.

    It's a bloody horse not an emtb

    Thinking about him going lame reminded me of one of the times. As I said, around half my childhood was spent on a farm. Birds were known as "targets" for whatever was to hand, either catapult or air rifle. Except for pheasants and partridges. Those belonged to the local Lord and were the...

    Who has a spare battery

    You really don't notice the weight in a decent backpack. I'd reasoned it wasn't going to be too much trouble because in midsummer I regularly travel with a 3 litre water bladder in a Deuter backpack. I replaced the bladder with the battery and it really wasn't an issue on an 85km ride (didn't...

    It's a bloody horse not an emtb

    BTW, don't know if your OH has moved horses across borders, but horses require a vet's certificate to declare them fit for human consumption. I used to show it to my horse with the threat that I had a freezer just waiting for him if he went lame on me again!

    It's a bloody horse not an emtb

    I'll own up here... I spent a good part of my childhood in Germany but did most of my growing up in England. On a farm. Near to Newmarket... [Edit: should probably add that from about the age of 15, I used to bunk off school to go to the racecourse. A badly misspent teenage which nearly went...

    Aaargh Bosch error code!

    Well you did such a good job of answering it yourself before any of us had a chance. :ROFLMAO: (You will get a reply from Bosch. They always answer. I can almost guarantee that they'll tell you to take the bike to one of their specialist centres for a diagnostic check.)

    It's a bloody horse not an emtb

    Okay, nothing much to do here other than reminisce. Four weeks now in total lockdown, so another boring anecdote for you. I’d picked up a contract in Holland and took the horse with me. Typical Brit, he got seasick and he hated Dutch food, although he loved the hay in Holland – no sign of his...

    Reliability

    1500km on a Bosch Gen 4 equiped bike which got delivered in mid-January this year. No issues other than not understanding that the battery charger disconnection order was important. Have been off the bike for more than one month now due to lockdown. :mad:

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Ouch! I was trying to make a joke - what with them not covering the ear... I really didn't expect them to have noise cancelling :oops: I owe you a beer! ?

    It's a bloody horse not an emtb

    I have tried so hard not to write this. Tried sitting on my hands. Tried doing an extra hard turn on the turbo trainer this morning instead of the recovery session I’d planned. Can’t help m’self. It was the most expensive addiction I’ve ever had. (Overheard my missus while I’m showing off the...
