    Allowed: 220mm rotors on the rear of Reign E+ ‘22 onwards?

    It may make little difference to your braking a bility given it is how much weight you apply to the rear of the bike that provides traction since virtually any brake set up will lock the wheel otherwise, especially downhill. The front brake is far more powerful.

    Are cube bikes any good these days?

    before getting into EMTBs my last analogue bike was a Cube Stereo and it proved to be very reliable and, for me at least, a good fit ( relatively short reach). I looked at Cube Stereo Hybrid Action Team which had a fantastic spec for its price and was available from a local LBS. Unfortunately I...

    Braces

    I think you will need suspenders for those......keep a gap between your shorts and knee pads for maximum effect :D

    Alternative Remote - Bosch

    I have changed a led remote controller on a smart system bike which amounts to the same thing I would think. It just means starting from scratch with the Flow app to connect to the new controller .

    Braces

    Maybe I am slow on the uptake and some of you already use braces but for me they are a revelation! I wear compression shorts plus Leatt armoured shorts....then trail pants or shorts...so a lot of waistbands in the same place!! My waist is perhaps not as well defined as it was and my armoured...

    Strive:ON problems

    not just you! It may help a little but merely reinforcing the latch does not address the reason the latch gets damaged in the first place..............in my opinion!

    "Waterproofing" a Giant TRANCE E+2 PRO (2020) ?

    good work guys. As a bove such a shame the manufacturers do not take note and make some far overdue changes to make these bikes more waterproof...............and it is by no means just Giant. I have 2 Whyte EMTBS one of which is 3.5 years old, the other 1.5 years old. Both have been used in UKs...

    Strive:ON problems

    It looks a simple job to replicate the reinforced areas of the original latch as per the new one.................JB Weld is your friend.

    Why does my new chain look stretched?

    I dont know if the picture of the chain on the Shimano website is typical of every chain manufactured, in terms of how each link is marked and in what order. You can see below the links do indeed vary in terms of the writing sometimes being the right way up and sometimes upside down...

    E-bike battery explodes, burns out NYC store

    .....and new reports say there have been at least 2 previous London electric bus fires...both whilst in the bus depot garages. You can bet these are fast charged rpeatedly to 100% and discharged to near zero on a daily basis......just like we are advised NOT to do.

    E-bike battery explodes, burns out NYC store

    The battery is on charge in that video and clearly overheats.....you can see smoke before it explodes. There are no cycles in that store so the battery is presumably for one of those scooters.

    Why does my new chain look stretched?

    yes....chain link markings facing ouwards and the right way up on the top loop of the chain. The OPs chain looks to be upside down to me.

    Alternative Remote - Bosch

    No.....its Bosch Gen2...........only bosch Smart System components will work on a Bosch Smart System bike which I assume yours is since you have the LED Remote.

    Bosch CX shutting down when going over 20mph on my 2023 Orbea Wild

    just to expand on that theory..............my bike worked perfectly after that for several weeks until one day I got the same pulsing on and off of motor support. It was only then that I realized when I thought...weeks before...I had refitted the sensor in its holder I had not in fact inserted...

    Plug charger first into e-bike battery and then wall socket, or vice versa? (or it doesn't matter?)

    Having paid attention to what happens when i charge my bike I agree that there is definitely communication that takes place both with the battery and the CAN. I connect everything then switch on the mains. Nothing happens for a bout 3 seconds then the Kiox 300 lights up giving the state of...
