That's not a fidlock bottle, I meant standard fidlock mount. It can hold anything in diameter to 10 cm. And it can handle 1.3 weight with extreme jumps, even though they guarantee only 1 kg. Tested myself :)

I also considered 10s1p teslas, but this resulted in total weight around 900 grams, and gave 5000 mah, while 10s2p 18650 weighted 1300 grams and gave 7000 mah... plus you have to consider cutoff of 1p is earlier too when running low, so actual capacity will be even less. What you describe sound...

@>moto< actually right now I'm not so sure I want to buy SM-PCE. If all the changes required to the new motor is updating the firmware, I still can use bluetooth connection via phone, as I've done a lot of times now in E-Tube app; also I've updated firmware a couple of time already for different...

@>moto< I'm in Ukraine, and shimano e-bikes are not sold/serviced here. It was bought in Germany and transported here... There is a specialized shimano service center, but they refused to take a look at anything e-bike specific. As for other shops and the availability of SM-PCE1/2 - I highly...

I've switched from 51mm offset from my stock rockshox recon to 44 on dt swiss 535 on jam2 with 2.7 plus wheels. Really liked the change - bike became much more stable, esp. when landing after a jump and when riding on a rough terrain, such as roots. I know that these are different forks...

Hey moto, thanks for chiming in. I actually made a few firmware updates via eTube app on my old android device (ios app was not available in my country's app store, lol). Also played a bit with different power settings for the motor, all was fine. Procedure or restoring after fw failure on the...

Thanks. The only remaining question is then (or maybe should I ask it in a thread dedicated to E-tube? Could not find one): can I backup/restore motor settings with this software - or anything else is needed?

Btw, which interface do you own? Guess for backing up settings of old motor you'll need PCE1/2? As I currently do not own either, would be great to know if there is an option in etube windows app to just copy settings from e8000 and save them somewhere -> to restore later on new unit.

Oh, I have just made the purchase, which I guess cannot be cancelled... So suppose I even buy the interface, is copying data from old motor and restoring it to the new one a procedure which I can do myself then?

From the system manual though it says you'll need a linkage device, SM-PCE1 and SM-JC40 (not sure why the need for the latter though). But this is put in the context of connecting to E-TUBE via PC, and this is something I can already do via Bluetooth. These two components are not exactly cheap...

That's interesting. Guess there is no way I can access this software myself then.

Thanks, Frank. Which tool might that be? Also, after installing - is there any initialization required? Or just plug and play

Getting ready to pull a trigger on a new e8000 motor for EUR 700... if only somebody can answer the question above

I own a jam 2 2018 with e8000 motor and everything works flawlessly; just wondering - how hard it would be to replace the motor without going to official service, assuming I got a hold on a new motor. The thing is, shimano ebikes are not serviced it my country at all and transporting a bike to...

Thanks Steve! Also wondering if anyone has already gone this route before on focus jam: bearings vs bushings seems to be a long standing debate...

First time I had to replace bushing almost immediately after the purchase of the bike - it was sqeuaking a lot and cleaning it did not really help. Now, after 1100km of ride it began to squeak again... now cleaning it helped, but wonder for how long. Mechanic has advised to try bearings...

Not sure why it is advertised at only 80mm, maybe for the concerns of weight larger diameters will carry... But actually something even as big as 110mm should fit - see the picture I've taken and note that how much leeway is left in bolis. Additionally, I found it possible to put plastic wraps...

I've been using fidlock with my battery as well... they are fine. Actually guaranteed to 1kg, but I think can handle much more. At least, according to my tests

I do not hit the start button, display turns on immediately after connecting the pack. Never actually tried to... But pretty sure data connection is needed to read the voltage, so no really possible for a diy. And for me it is not really a big problem either. I just run the pack dry each time...

Not sure why you think angled connector would be better. This version looks very decent with the battery installed. Not so much without it IMO (this empty cage is a bit meh), and that's why I went for the completely detachable design. Initially I also used velcro as a backup, to hold battery...
