    Garmin & Trailforks-Anyone Tried It?

    Just looking at the reviews on the IQ Store and it looks like Garmin software developers are showing their usual skill in killing third party apps. I've had Garmin products for most of this century and I still feel like a beta tester.

    Electric Tricycles? Are there any that aren't total rubbish?

    I would also recommend you take a look at Hase Bikes. We very nearly opted for their tandem system before buying a Santana. I'm pretty sure their e-trikes will not disappoint you.

    Jam2 6.8 nine derestricted with speedbox 3.0

    But I'm still a bit puzzled about this, Peter. From what you say, you are perfectly happy with riding the bike offroad at 25km/hr. As such it gets classed as a bicycle under Belgian Law. However, as soon as you get on the road, you switch it to a 55km/hr assistance. As I understand it, under...

    Jam2 6.8 nine derestricted with speedbox 3.0

    Two rotations per second = 120 rpm. At a cadence of 120 rpm, I think I'd be buying a motorbike. Basically for doing 55km/hr or more, you're really looking at a motorbike. Why not just buy one? Of course, you might have trouble with pretending that it's a bicycle so that you can use the cycle...

    To E, or not to E. That is the question.

    Great to see! Nothing beats that first ride - although every one after that will still put a huge smile on your face. Congratulations. Lovely looking bike in a great colour (which is better in the flesh than on film). Just a tip, @Optimusmiles , if you haven't done so already, you can set up...

    Commonly referred to as "Stan's Balls", IFRC... :unsure: Don't half make a racket if you let the sealant dry out. (I wonder how I know that... :whistle: )

    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    That, sir, is just plain evil and wicked of you! ? When I've given the tooth fairy a good spanking, I send her your way! :ROFLMAO:

    To E, or not to E. That is the question.

    According to Bosch, the fast charger will do 50% of a 500Wh Powertube in 1.2 hours and a full charge in 3 hours. I think that last half is always going to take more time because the current needs to drop the closer the battery gets to full. It also makes me think that it's probably not worth...

    That's some maiden ride! No range anxiety there, have you? ;) Congratulations. Your face will hurt from grinning.

    Bosch Gen 4 - How to change the chainring?

    Thanks. I already had misgivings about the Park Tool kit because of the need for a crows foot spanner. I'll follow up on the Unior once our lockdown has ended and I can actually get to my garage again.

    Answered Bosch battery issue

    I agree. I had exactly the same issue. Bosch confirmed to me by email that the order of disconnection is important. Bosch Powertube Battery Charge Management - EMTB Forums

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I was thinking what a brilliant idea for letting the wind blow through. Wouldn't have to risk a crash by lifting a cheek... :whistle:

    Road tires on my Levo?!? Get outta here!

    They came as standard on my missus' Focus Thron² EQP. She thinks they are great. I fitted Hurricanes to my hamster bike in 2018 for a trip which was 80% asphalt and 20% offroad on fire roads with occasional single track. It was in the Alps, so lots of climbing for which I wanted a light tyre...

    www.rosebikes.co.uk www.wiggle.co.uk www.chainreactioncycles.com The last two are, I believe, now the same company. My experience with Rose has been excellent. My experience with the other two was excellent, but my opinion has since changed. However, their prices are usually good and other...

    Need help chain

    From the Shimano Dealer's Manual for SLX M7000-11 Always use CS-M7000-11 in combination with CN-HG901-11, CN-HG701-11, or CN-HG601-11. Other chains cannot be used because the dimensions do not match I always buy my chains online from the cheapest source. No idea on link count - you might have...

    Keep it well topped up. Having excess in there is better than having none at all when that thorn strikes... says he speaking from experience... :whistle:

    What do you call a big ride?

    600km in 26 hours?!!!! Hully sheet! That's insane. Doing 600km in a week makes for a sore arse :eek:. How the hell does he manage? I'd be needing a blood transfusion!

    Garmin mount - where is best

    Somehow I didn't OTB, but my thighs had big, deep bruises in them for weeks. The wire kinda got under the bars and stopped the whole lot becoming too much of a giant somersault. I had a few minutes to try and get my breath back, pick up the pieces and think about what was going on. I don't...
