The issue with the bike not turning on after switching it off seems to be an issue with the Bluetooth connection. I noticed you have to disconnect the app everytime after you used it before you switch the bike off, then it doesn't refuse to start again. If you don't, it is as if the bike is...

I don't know if anybody is still following this thread but I've done some more playing around and it's been lots of fun and the end result is even better. I got a 29 front wheel for free and decided to put it on. So to recap where we stand with mods: I made the following changes to my bike: 1...

Based on the kilos you get on tyre, you must be a very light rider. I get a lot less before the tyre is either worn or it throws a bead. The switch ot SRAM is probably due to better deals the get from the manufacturers. There's really not a lot in the product in either performance or weight so...

The mileage you get out of your chain is going to vary greatly depending on you weight, how much power you and the bike combined exert on the chain and what gear/s you spend the bulk of your time in. Then you add the maintenance factors and how dusty the conditions are that you ride in. On my...

He must be enjoying it so much he hasn't got time to come and brag here. ?

It is a normal tapered steerer.

First off your wear seems excessive. I got 1800 km on my Giant with .75 wear. Incidentally both bikes use the same KMC chain that I found to be very durable and your bike has an XT cassette, mine is a SLX cassette. After the first chain was worn to .75 I did replace my cassette with a SunRACE...

I use pc-board cleaner now and then on my battery and bike connectors when I pick up that it becomes too dirty. Also on the inside of my charging adapter. This is purely precautionary but I like having good clean contacts as a break of contact is certain to stop your bike in its tracks. We...

Really strange. The wire that goes to the sensor is quite long. When I removed my motor to lubricate the following engine mounts, I noticed that and actually the whole bunch of wires and plugs in there is very crowded. I noticed on of the very thin wires got exposed, probably through pinching...

Losing the map information sounds like a rights issue. You must allow the app to right to your phone in the settings. I've had that with another app.

That flashing red light is definitely a sensor issue. This could be the sensor, a misaligned magnet, a faulty plug or wiring and of course it is possible that the issue is inside the motor enclosure. Perhaps it could also be related to the sensors of which the 2020 model has 2 more than the...

I agree with what you say. There is another angle also though and that is that it got it of control in Wuhan by the time they implemented the quarantine. A lot of the people that became sick later we probably already infected and then some who thought they were still well continued to infect...

So here in South Africa the annual Cape Epic is going on as usual but two teams have withdrawn. Team Trek Selle San Marco and Specialized. In sure some others will follow.

I have since seen the issues that a group of you guys have experienced. Without more details is difficult to know why although it seems it is related to electronics. In the German forums the people also experienced the same issue and apparently it was sorted when they found out that it was...

Gary sorry if you had a problem. However it is hardly a trend. I have made up my mind based on the bikes in riding with and the general trend that I pick up in the forums. The symptoms that you described sounds like it could easily have been mounting related. If course there can also be issues...

So I had a look. Gary had one posting under reliability where he said his first motor had bearings go on the BB and the second one creaks and he suspects it's going the same way. My Giant creaked like hell and it sounded like the crank it if you want to call it BB. It ended up being a dry...

I didn't ask to be spoonfed but you ask me to go and read an entire forum to find one guy Gary who had problems. Once again that hardly indicates a common problem and if it's one person who I will read up on who may or may not be a difficult customer and this I'm saying without having read it. I...

You must be specific. I've read that forum and unless they're is something there about motors failing that you can refer me to, i haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise. People complain about error codes when they start pedaling before the motor fully switched on and other related...

People are entitled to their opinion and to agree or disagree. Point is they are really reliable and I haven't seen any issues anywhere with motors failing. Also once you know how and you purchase the cable and software they are incredibly tunable. While I don't ride Shimano myself my brother's...

On my Trance-e, I made three modifications. 15mm higher Raceface carbon bars with extra spacers to lift it even further. A SR Suntour Durolux 29 Boost R2C2 fork which raised the front a further 30mm due to the higher axle to crown height compared to the Fox 36 Rythm that it came with. The Fox...
