    As Strava hates e-bikes....

    Ended up creating all my own ebike ones. I find Strava really helps with my fitness, tracking how I'm riding so I push myself harder to beat my best times puhing beyond the limiter. The ebike MTB segments are a bit of a joke though, as some of the riders are de-restricted so hard to really...

    Is OFF the new ECO?

    From my perspective I like Zim's earlier comment about "resetting" riding with it off. When I brought the bike I road Eco a lot, then fell in love with the extra power of Tour but thought "that's enough, plenty of power", then I got the 85nm Bosch update and read most of the benefits where in...

    BHF - London to Brighton

    How much do you reckon is off-road, as from memory is seemed barely a quarter of it at best was off-road, but hard to remember exactly. I guess the question to ask is can you make your battery/s last 76 miles with 3,000ft of climbing. Time for some Eco mode test rides ;-) On a 25kg Bosch Gen...

    BHF - London to Brighton

    That was as much as I could fit on the screen without it being super small :) and the London part is definitely flat with no off-road sections so didn't show it...

    BHF - London to Brighton

    Here's the 2018 Off-road L2B route also showing the elevation along the bottom. Ignore the fact I'm over 80 miles, I stayed at a friends in Richmond and road to the start and then road to a hotel at the end :p 82.97mi Distance 8:03:47 Moving Time 4,340ft Elevation Speed Avg-10.3mi/h...

    BHF - London to Brighton

    Hardtail is perfect for the L2B offroad route. When I road it my mate was on a Gravel bike and there were only a couple of small sections where suspension would have been nice but not essential (although he did get 3 punctures) :cautious:. Whilst it's called London to Brighton offload, it's...

    BHF - London to Brighton

    There are sections you can ride without the battery for sure, but overall I remember feeling like every time you went round a bend there was another hill!!!

    BHF - London to Brighton

    Just to answer the previous question around how much off-road is it, not very much at all. There are a few part's which are bridleways, or paths running along the river, and one section of single track off-load which was good while it lasted. From memory it felt like half to 2/3rds was on the...

    Volspeed tuning box for Bosch gen 4

    Would be great to be able to do that. I was told that even the dealers can't get hold of software from other countries, but I guess someone, somewhere can...

    Orbea Specific Section?

    Fair point. As they gain in popularity and message numbers grow, they normally get moved into their own manufacturer area. Just a matter of time :)

    Rear wheel play?

    How strange, I just noticed a similar issue today. As I'm accelerating and changing gear, as the gear changes it feels like the rear wheel moves slightly to the left as it clunks when it engages the gear. The cassette has no play, but if I grab the rear wheel with both hands there and try to...
