    Upgraded suspension service

    Is it not as the one in the link above? All it should be is a syringe & the hose & adapter to connect to the bleed port on the damper.

    Strange behaviour from rear gear cassette

    Sounds like your freehub is knackered. You can test by taking the chaIn off the cassette & spinning the cassette by hand. If it rotates without turning the wheel, then it's confirmed.

    Upgraded suspension service

    Don't remember needing a glide ring but if it's required, the TF kit will have it for sure. Seal head & foot nut, you probably should change but if they're unworn, no reason you can't get away with it.

    Upgraded suspension service

    Also, if you're minded to go beyond the bladder service, this guy shows how to disassemble & rebuild the compression & rebound assembly. My view of that is if it's working ok, I would leave it be but it's there if you fancy. Interesting thing I heard from a video with TF Tuned recently is lots...

    Upgraded suspension service

    I honestly can't remember but I did buy the kit from EPS here. https://epicbleedsolutions.com/products/rockshox-charger-damper-bleed-kit Rockshox sell vice grips especially designed for this service but they're not cheap. I did recently rebuild a Monarch shock & drilled a hole in a bit of...

    Upgraded suspension service

    I did the same with a Yari, turning it into a Lyrik. The 50 hour stuff I.e. wipers, seals, crush washers etc. remain unchanged. The damper is the damper, so you just need the appropriate kit like this. https://www.tftuned.com/charger-21-ultimate-select-200hr1yr-service-kit/p4082 The service...

    Alternative Grease for servicing the CX seal.

    I would think Bosch wouldn't care much about the price but would just charge what they need. Someone identified it a while back somewhere & it's just something they buy in & resell in Bosch packaging. I reckon the key point is if you swapped to something else, you're taking a risk unless you...

    Alternative Grease for servicing the CX seal.

    Hence why I haven't done it. The grease could definitely be better but I'm not presumptious enought to think I know more about Bosch stuff than Bosch. Edit to add, I realise I posted the same thing twice. That's what you get for not reading the thread!

    Alternative Grease for servicing the CX seal.

    I've long observed the grease Bosch supply isn't especially durable & have wondered about using marine grease or similar with higher viscosity. I guess the dispersal is a function of heat cycles but that is just a guess.

    Where’s Zim gone?🤔…..

    The boy is playing a bit of Badminton lately. That is not a euphemism, he really is. Or as they call it in France, Brandir la raquette comiquement.

    Bosch Gen4 Seal Service & Grease up

    They do get strong suction vibes. I use a pair of pliers against the inner face of the steel part of the seal & wiggle it back & forth until the seal frees off. It's a feel thing but with patience, the seal will break free & come away. The plectrum is iffy ime, can easily break the seal.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Rebuilding the shock last week, spotted a couple of chips in the damper body. Ummed & ahhed over sanding them out then spotted a misdescribed damper body on Amazon. Listed as a 200x57 but every part number pointed at a 190x51, so I bought it on the off chance & it's the rght one. £14 Steak for tea!

    "2nd dead bosch gen 4 motor not happy

    All very interesting but some distance from 'Bosch won't provide ANY support' to yes but not PCB's to look at this £5k car engine. I'm sorry your motors failed twice but imo two in a row points at you as much as the manufacturer. There are things you can do to protect these, the information is...

    Oh well, I guess you just have to cough up then. Pity you didn't follow my tips to keep water out. I made a helpful video and everything. 👍

    Except they do. They provide a warranty for two years in common with other manufacturers. You're entitled to think that's insufficient but that's your business on which I have no opinion. Facts are Pete's business is stuffed full of spare parts & we know he deals directly with Bosch which you...

    I don't speak for Pete but I can be reasonably sure you have the wrong end of the stick, Gareth. A cursory glance at Pete's website would show you that.

    You clearly have a professional relationship with Bosch at some level, so is it fair to assume they could grant you access to the necessary software but won't?

    My lovely daughter bought me this for Father's day & it's just turned up.
