    Can you adjust the Di2 for single gear shifting?

    Orange Alpine 6 E Factory

    Hopefully Orange will adopt the recently announced slimline Shimano integrated battery to give the down tube a nip & tuck the bike so richly deserves.

    Bike Stand

    Thats cool(y) I hacked up one for a regular bike to make it strong enough for an eebs. Its nice to be able to turn the pedals to lube the chain etc.

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    I spent ages looking at the sizes of the two. In the end I went on the height recommendation as it was showing 6’1” was XL. Just sent YT an email to find out if my order would be delayed if I change to a large as like you say the numbers are more comparable. ??

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    Will be interesting to see the result. When I started using inserts I found I could quite happily go back to Exo casings & run lower pressures so would be put off the heavier tyres unless I could run them without the extra hassle of the inserts. One other offbeat thought I have on the tyres...

    E8000 "bottom bracket" bearing play after 1400km

    I put a comment on a Sam Pilgrim video of him ebiking in the Canaries asking how he had got round the battery issue and he said they had hired the batteries locally. Maybe rental spots are opening up, or maybe he was pulling my leg?

    They have a really good reputation for changing out Specialized Brose motors on same day turn around.

    Just as long as you don’t end up kicking yourself if someone takes your data and makes a go of a Shimano version of Berkshire Cycles[emoji1]

    E8000 "bottom bracket" bearing play after 1400km

    You will know after taking it apart, but I understand there is a sprag clutch in there. If it is anything like my Onyx hub you cannot use anything with 'dry' lubricants (PTFE, moly, etc) in the lubes as they can allow the clutch to slip. They only endorse Kluber Isoflex LDS 18 special. If you...

    E8000 "bottom bracket" bearing play after 1400km

    If mine went once out of warranty I’d definitely have a crack myself before sending it away. Be cool if you posted the bearing sizes for future reference. Also wondered if it would be worth opening it up to top up the grease to try & quiet things down a bit but it looks like there is plenty...

    E8000 "bottom bracket" bearing play after 1400km

    The official line is to ride it till there is an issue then take it in. Mine is 2 years old now and coming out of warranty. I asked about the motor being serviced etc when it was having its battery replaced and was told they wont do anything until it fails...

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    Are you going to run the tests without inserts too for a comparison on squirming & puncture resistance?

    I’m guessing it will take us an hour ish to get there so about 1pm. You will have to send me a postcode or link for where to drive too.

    Morning All and Hi from South Wales

    It would have to be a Sunday afternoon for us as we work Sunday morning. We are reasonably competent as a group even if it is more bravado than skill? I’ll have a chat with the guys about plans and look at the weather. I’m keen to try somewhere new as after 5 visits since March I’m getting BPW...

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    Now you have me wondering if I have done the wrong thing going for a XL Decoy as the numbers looked nearest to my large Wreckoning ?
