    how long are you drivetrain lasting

    11 speed Shimano SLX cassette lasted 2000 miles and would not accept a 3rd chain. KMC 11 speed chains last 1000 miles before 0.75 reached. I find the small front Bosch Gen 2 chain ring needs to be replaced with every chain so 1000 miles for that also but they are as cheap as a chain.

    Has your EMTB made you fitter, or kept you as fit, as your regular MTB?

    Is there actually space for 625 battery if you wanted to upgrade later on or carry a spare? I can’t see any mention of it.

    Bosch crank puller

    quite easy to strip the lockring as the teeth don’t go in very far. I find it better to lay the bike on its side and apply downward pressure while loosening the lockring.

    Recommend me a Multitool

    I need them big and brightly coloured and always to hand. I don’t go anywhere without my bespoke tool belt, especially on long rides.

    Technical Question about Bosch 625 power tube vs 500 w technical size

    Cube carbon frame issues

    This may be a silly question but why is carbon even necessary on an ebike? Is the weight saving that significant? all my carbon shafted golf clubs are split, cracked, broken while my metal ones are as good as new. To be fair, my carbon badminton racket still looks ok but the most knarly...

    Unanswered Where can I find this bearing?

    Thanks, I’ve ordered some. This seems a much better solution. I’m guessing put them in end to end and take out a couple to enable movement?
