    New Pinion integrated gearbox and motor (MGU)

    It is an interesting question with the major brands probably already committed to contracts with Bosch or Shimano or Yamaha etc................and of course Specialized with their relationship with Brose. I suspect the niche brands will be the first to adopt Pinion plus manufacturers of cargo...

    New Pinion integrated gearbox and motor (MGU)

    Finally, innovation that is functional and has mechanical integrity......and one that promises tangible benefits as opposed to simple aesthetics. I look forward to a test ride review. I could see no negatives in that design although obviously it remains to be proven to be as robust as the guy...

    Rim tape, what a carry on

    I have never had a problem...and I use Muc Off tape. A couple of things that might help..............I unwrap a new tyre and then let it warm in the airing cupboard for at least a day before fitting it. I also warm the tape before use. Those steps may help with the leakage you have through the...

    Do pawls break often?

    poor seals are the reason for most freehub failures assuming they are reasonably maintained. My son had a Hope pro4 hub/freehub fall to bits........outer freehub bearing literally fell to bits..............and the reason was the end cap which you could easilly remove with just fingers.........it...

    SRAM AXS not responding

    it could of course be a faulty Mech or controller but it couls equally be that the mech battery is not making a good contact due to dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Dirt/dust that collects around the area into which the battery fits can stop it fitting properly. Worth checking.

    Gym goers, need some advice - arm pump

    I agree with many of the a bove comments...................you gym routine is ill advised!! Probably on 2 counts Firstly for almost all sports you mostly need lean and flexible muscle.................not muscle build. Muscle build may look impressive but it comes at the expense of flexibility...

    What bars do you run?

    Deity 50mm rise on both bikes. I may be an exception given that I am 6ft tall but am fairly short in torso so it helps me with my bikes both with 480mm+ reach...............but more than that, my preferred ride is gravity and never understood why enduro bikes always have such low rise bars which...

    Safest way to mount Ebike onto repair stand?.

    £10 440mm handlebars from CRC. Whyte e160RSX and Whyte E180RS both fit. ps I dont trust the height adjust clamp on this cheap Halfords stand............I drilled through and put a nut and bolt through it. It does not need to be a djustable. I use this set up for cleaning and...

    Bosch Smart System - brand new bike ERROR

    It is very easy on a thread like this for multiple different issues to be conflated. It would be easier for any others with problems reading such posts if the actual circumstances of the fault was descried rather than merely reporting a fault code. I mentioned on a previous post that fault codes...

    Help me please. Cannondale and Bosch suck bigtime

    If you currently run 2.3 tyres on the 29er wheel and you change to a 27.5 with a 3.0 tyre the circumference is the same (Overall wheel + tyre diameter is 740mm in both cases)! I would guess the difference between a 29/2.4 combo and 27.5/3.0 is also virtually the same.

    Rear axle working loose on 2023 160 Stereo Race

    The rear thru axle will not come loose if the threads are clean and smeared with a little grease......and the correct torque applied.....usually c 15nm ...which is more than you can comfortably apply with a standard sized Allen key or some ( cheap) multitools. If the above is done and it still...

    Recommend me a helmet cam.

    To add to my earlier post (and if was buying a new cam now it would be gopro 8)......for mtb the higher the mount you use, the worse the perspective becomes. Less impression of speed and changes in the level of the trail appear flatter. Chesty is by far the best option.....helmet mount the...

    Such a good system

    I have the same DTSwiss 350 Hybrid system on both my E180 and E160 RSX . Always impressed how clean it stays and easy it is to service. ......quicker than cleaning and lubeing a chain! First service on the RSX freehub after 500 plus miles over the last 10 months with the giveaway that freewheel...

I have checked out some information online and it looks like a ood plan for the day trip would be to head for PEDALABIKEAWAY and park...

    Komoot navigation on Kiox 300 pauses on cafe stop

    maybe check the auto trip reset on the Flow App ( under Ebike settings). Another possibility is where the route you have set originated. For example was it a Komoot planned route?

    Komoot navigation on Kiox 300 pauses on cafe stop

    It probably assumes end of ride when the bike switches off..............even if you do not switch the bike off it will auto shutdown after a bout 10 minutes.

    Cube reaction hybrid race 750 2023 wont start help!

    It is easy to think the connection has been made properly...when it is not! You should hear a click when it is fully pushed in.

    Levo Gen 2 2020 Turbo Levo Comp new fork - 150mm or 160mm travel ?

    160mm obviously provides a litle more suspension travel but I doubt you will notice any difference in terms of front to back balance of the bike....................but if you do, you can always move a stem spacer from below the stem to above the stem
