All braking consists of a force capable of reducing the momentum of a dynamic ( moving) mass. In our case that mass consists the combination of bike plus rider. So , assuming regardless size/thickness of rotors and 2 or 4 pot callipers, if the brakes on a bike are capable of seizing the wheel(s)...

mine are the Leatt 4 with the integrated padded seat. I always wear them over Under Armour compression shorts. The armour is on the hip and thigh, not very obtrusive but very effective. I have had mine quite a few years now and the only "wear" has been the elasticated waistband which has...

with the exception of @MikeH .....which sounds like a freehub issue.................I would say the other reports here are merely the sprag clutch in the motor re-engaging. If you pedal backwards with the Bosch CX your hear it ratchetting in a similar way to the freehub when freewheeling albeit...

Your "form" or body positioning is very unlikely to be the same on your bike compared to your mates unless the reach, stack, head angle etc are identical.................a video of you riding might tell a different story to what you think! You seem intent on changing fork, yet the Lyric...

are you sure it is the motor and not your freehub?

Leatt

superglue? :unsure:

Strain on wrists, arms, shoulders is all to do with cockpit set up.............specifically too much weight on the bars. Given in your case it is your shoulders that are feeling it most my guess is that on your bike you are not absorbing the forces with bent elbows. Your arms being bent at the...

Are you talking a bout an E160RS?? By E Shift...do you mean AXS? If so it will only fit if you have the UDH derailleur hanger and there is plenty of info on this site and YT about pricing and fitting....................or are you referring to twist grip gear change??

Clearly you now have too much weight on our hands. There are a few things you can do to get better balance Move the saddle forward slightly Reduce bar width Rotate the bars towards the saddle a little Fit higher rise bars Personally I always fit higher rise bars on my bikes. I think the...

I have pulled thorns like that from tyres several times...........never used plugs and never had any subsequent problems. So just leave it.

The primary difference between a carbon composite and aluminium is that aluminium can deform ( dent) whereas Carbon composite is brittle. A carbon composite can be made to be flexible ( fishing rod/windsurf mast etc) or stiff ( typically in a bicycle frame) but either way the composite does not...

I agree. I bought a Whyte E160 RSX in July 2022 ( Bosch Smart System) and have followed posts both here and on Bike specific groups on FB in order to identify what could go wrong and what resolutions others have found. I think I have only identified one issue which could identified as being...

I retrofitted a Kiox 300 to my RSX....which of course means making 3 of those connections. I think the trick is not that you have to push them in really hard but that you line up the white markings on the cable and the Kiox or LED Remote connection and feel when they are fully aligned by...

If you want to learn a bout the pros and cons of more or less ratchet teeth check out the DT Swiss Website. https://www.dtswiss.com/en/wheels/wheels-technology/engagement-angle-technology

I commented earlier that I believe the viscosity/ overall consistency of grease can change over time and a lot of forks can spend months or even longer unused and in a variety of temperature/humidity environments. That grease is after all captive within a metal tube which is more or less a...

The only importance with regards the cassette is that it is 10 speed. 8/9/10 speed chains are all the same width which is what matters as far as the chainring is concerned..................so for example you do not want a chainring compatible with Eagle/Shimano 12 speed.

DT Swiss recommend their "Special Grease" for their ratchet system. It is red in colour. The grease is Molykote TP42 based but I believe DT Swiss also mix it with some mineral oil. On a ratchet system the grease needs to be one with a strong bond to the metal surface whilst needing at the same...

no...............you are on 27.5.............. and the profile of the tyre in the picture looks very rounded so not surprised the centre knobs are taking a beating .On my 27.5 bike I run 2.5 Assegais ( tubeless)................On Forest trails 18f 20r.........On stony ground 20f 22 rear. The...

All Eagle chains a re compatible with all Eagle cassettes (leaving a side the stupidly priced "Transmission" range). NX chains tend to be mostly OEM fitted. The obvious choices are either GX or X01. X01 is typically c 2x the price of GX and some say it lasts a lot longer. The only difference is...
