good news for your warranty!!

no...the mini remote is merely a means to communicate with the controller remotely. If it stops working it would have no impact on the controller but would not communicate with it. you can still use the controller to change modes etc.

The mini remote communicates with the controller via blutooth which should mean the battery is only in use for the very short periods of time a button is pressed...and should last years! I would therefore assume either water has got into it and it is permanently transmitting, a button is stuck...

Topeak Smart Gauge D2.............used for years with no problems. Probably like most folk I do need to either clean or replace the wheel Presta valve inserts occasionally because they can get gummed up with sealant. One tip is to press the presta valve in momentarilly to release some air and...

...or Deity.

"all mountain" is merely a marketing term to allow a brand to big up a bike which could otherwise be denigraded as a mere "trail" bike........................there is no difference...its a trail bike and there is nothing wrong with that!!:D

your fork will compress quite easilly at the top of its travel because as you said air pressure is progressive not linear. The more plush your fork at the top of its travel the easier it will settle under bike weight. If the 38 is the Ebike version it also has a damper tune that allows it to be...

I think it does have to do with the air pressure although not sure it necessarilly needs "a shit load"! If you use tokens/spacers it reduces the volume of air and therefore invariably leads to setting a lower air pressure. That is likely to allow the fork to settle rather more just under the...

Agreed...Assegai is a great all round tyre but no good in sticky mud because it just clogs up. Fortunately most of my riding is in forests where the trails are sandy loam/ pine needle compost and the Assegai is good in those trail conditions. Another good front tyre in muddy conditions...in fact...

I blocked him years a go!! I see no point in those vents if they do not allow warm/hot air to escape from the downtube housing the battery! THERMO GATE Heat is generated by your e-bike battery when it is being used, but too much heat can reduce the efficiency and lifespan of the battery cells...

A lot to unpack there!! As a first EMTB I would go with a full power model.....85/90nm. You can always use a low power mode if you are are fit enough and 700w/h or 750 w/h battery which is typical now, will give you lots of range. One issue you will need to address is using an EMTB for a mix of...

just buy some new pedals! I have used DMR pedals for years and never needed to service them. One of the problems with some composite pedals is that the outer axle seal or plug is often just composite as well. I would also avoid the style of pedal that only has a 3/4 length axle across the pedal...

easy enough to stick a bit of clingfilm over those vents before cleaning...............and I would have thought they probably do lead to the battery otherwise they would serve no purpose!! Like @steve_sordy I very rarely remove the battery on my bikes. I know some need to for charging but for...

Wet as opposed to dry conditions on gritty trails washes the softer dust layer away leaving the heavier and sharper grit exposed...............and that will penetrate softer compounds. Quite possibly 25psi also increases that issue? The only time I use that high a pressure is on rocky ground...

Assuming the axle is as per the part circled in your photo...and assuming the the hex nut circled has been removed from the non drive side it would then suggest the axle is drifted or pressed out..........ie press or drift appled on the non drive side and the axle drifted out the drive side. No...

I think wear is less critical on a front tyre because the tread pattern ( especially on an Assegai) does not need sharp edges to prevent sideways slip albeit braking capability may be reduced. I would be inclined to run a part worn front tyre at slightly higher pressures than when new due to the...

There is a significant performance difference between a brand new tyre and one that is part worn. It is not the fact that the tread pattern still has wear left that signifies the tyre is still good/ at its best.........it is the edges of that tread pattern plus the "rebound" quality of the tyre...

For any form of transport the primary design elements have to deliver to a specific market segment/need. If you are looking at EMTBs as a specific segment of the mountain bike market that is still not specific enough because there are further sub segments, that define the intended use of the...

as a bove power increases with crank torque but cadence also has a role to play. Whereas in turbo you can get significant motor assist at relatively low cadences, in EMTB mode you need to maintain a higher cadence to get decent motor support. It just means in EMTB you are better of spinning than...

I dont know what compound those pads are! Never seen pad material that black...is that how they were when new? I would clean the rotors thoroughly using brake cleaner and if necessary a light grade wet and dry.............and personally I would dump those pads. One possible scenario is that the...
