making your motor last has little to do with settings. What kills the Brose is either water ingress (destroys main and sprag bearings) or hard pedal strikes.........possibly also hard landings from big jumps............ie whatever puts a lot of shock through the belt.

SWB really limits your options. My son has a SWB. He carries his XL Levo on a fork mount and the rear wheel goes partly through the little gap between a 2 + 1 rear seat arrangement. With LWB ( e.g. mine) A bike on a fork mount fits between the tailgate/barn doors and the rear seats without...

One easy area to check for cable friction that is often an area that can cause problems is where the cable is fixed to the rear mech. It is fed through an open channel that directs it 90 degrees down to its securing bolt. That can get clogged.

Yes but according to the video the noise only occurs when pressure is applied to the cranks so most likely some part of the drivetrain is the issue. Other than cranks and freehub drivetrain components it could be motor bolts as mentioned above.

possibly but I think worth running a new inner cable first off.

I would suspect a damaged freehub..........certainly worth investigating. Not sure what drivetrain/hubs you have but usually it means putting the bike on a stand, removing the rear wheel. Now check if the cassette moves freely anticlockwise ( with the usual freewheel clicking sound as the pawls...

Ps.....a home made charger is not worth the risk!!

Why would your charger stop working because your bike was stolen? Have you tried charging the battery out of the bike as well as via the charging port on the bike?

Another tip is to occasionally force some grease into the slight gap between the head tube and crown with your finger...wipe clean afterwards. That creates a barrier against water and dust ingress there.

The ABEC rating refers to the degree of accuracy of the ball bearings. That is important for a very fast running bearing but not so much for any bearing in a bike. A slow running bearing such as pivot bearings and headset bearings can have closer tighter fitting seals on both sides since...

I used a 160mm Lyric Ultimate on my gen2 Levo Comp and have to admit it was the easiest fork I have used to set up well and took everything I could throw at it................I am about 5kg lighter than you however. I have no experience with the Zeb but use Fox 38s on both my bikes. A 38 is...

........yep it sounds like the charger was shorted out by plugging it in to the bike.............however, as you previously described, the bike would not switch on either. So there was a bike fault...probably a short circuit......and that also blew up the charger ( probably only a fuse). The...

The parts of an ebike most likely to suffer if a hose is used are the controller, mode selector, screen. Even top tube mounted controllers ( e.g. TCU,Mastermind, Bosch Smart,) are vulnerable. Internally routed cables mean there has to be entry/exit points in the frame...............there is no...

...thats how I clean the bike except I first remove both wheels and use a bike cleaner on the rims and tyres...leave for 10 mins and then wash off with a hose keeping the wheels vertical to a void any water going into the open hub ends. My bikes are kept indoors so clean tyres are main thing...

the only "shark Teeth" on that cassette are the ones that are designed that way.

It looks like you use the high ( small cogs) a lot and they have the smallest chain wrap so will be the first to cause chain slip ( assuming that is what you are experiencing). If I was you I would use the previous chain ( even if beyond 0.5%) and also check your B tension. As chain and cassette...

Doh.....of course the noise disappeared....you took your hearing aids out!! :LOL: Sorry ...could not resist!! Seriously I have had a similar experience. Wearing Oakley Jawbreakers with my previous open face helmet I had the rattle...especially on gnarly downhills..........that turned out to...

I am gobsmacked by some of the temperatures some of you guys ride in!! If it was -20c outside I would stay in bed!! Its pretty mild here at the moment for the time of year, ( South Coast UK), but quite windy and the wind chill is noticeable. The main problem here is that we previously had a...

nowt wrong with that lad!! Some nice trails up there. Am I right in thinking you were in the saddle most of the time?? Anything downhill is better up on the pedals. You are better able to adjust balance of the bike front to back and lean the bike to get max grip and steering control. Ironically...

most seem to recommend changing a 12 speed chain at 0.5% rather than 0.75%...............apart from SRAM themselves....but then they want to sell more cassettes!!
