It is very noticeable, I would say especially so on an eeb because of the slight lag at the motor. 3 pawls gives 54 points of engagement whereas 6 pawls you have 108. I think from memory this translates to just 3° of freeplay with the 6 pawl upgrade vs 6° with the standard 3 pawls. It doesn't...

...so instead of 3 pawls, you now have 6, so there is noticeably less free movement before the hub engages

Yeah, cranks on both sides cw tighten ccw loosen. It's the pedals that have opposite threads

What's your budget ? These Wheelworks wheels are awesome, expensive but lifetime warranty, you break them and they'll replace them. Perfect spoke tension out of the box and you can personalize them. Welcome to Wheelworks - Wheelworks In my opinion , for longevity and easy service, you want...

I have the endura jacket .The breathability is great for a waterproof jacket, but it's also very light and does not keep you warm. I need to wear merino layers underneath. These jackets might be what you're after: Storm Trooper with 23, 000 waterproof 33,000 breathability or this as a more...

It goes like this: Essentially a fancy version of putting a stick or allen key in the chainring to jam the crank arm so the chainring spins backwards.

Someone has, Sam Pilgrim helped develop it. I have one and it works a treat. CrankStick E-Bike Tool | CrankStick | E-Bike Tool zur Kettenpflege

As @Mikerb pointed out, its probably not going to work putting spacers behind the chainring. But you might get away with using an offset chainring. Only way to know really is to take a punt and try it out. The Rail would certainly benefit from a 36T. Maybe we'll see that on next year's bikes, if...

A good lever can make all the difference but I would check the cable etc first before shelling out on a new lever.

Its relatively easy if you're used to working on your bike in general. Remove the motor skid plate. 6 bolts (torx #40) secure the motor to the frame . Unplug the wiring. Break the chain. Motor will now lift away. ( You could potentially have something set up to put the motor on while you work...

As long as your new rim matches the spoke count of the old, which I think on the Bontys is 28. If you could afford a whole wheel I would go that way, and get one with 32 spokes, and have a stronger wheel for the back. Spank do offer great bang for buck on their wheels, I've got a set on my...

What fork/shock does your Bullit have? Have you tried different pressures/ settings to get more plushness out of your suspension? Have you considered upgrading your fork/shock? It would be a lot cheaper than changing bikes if you're otherwise happy with your Bullit. The Rail will do everything...

You might get away with using a barb, and pulling the old hose through to route the new hose, but I'm betting it's easier to drop the motor. It's not a big job, 6 bolts, unplug the wiring, break the chain, and it all lifts away. The hose and derailleur cable do take a bend around the motor but...

The cassette will fit your HG freehub, but because the cogs are thicker you need the derailleur & shifter as well, because different pull ratio

Just to add to @Mikerb 's explanation, too little LSC will also cause the fork to dive under braking

I dont think anyone is saying drivetrain wear is all down to bad shifting / poor maintenance. Merely that careful shifting and good maintenance help a lot to reduce wear. Just as it does on non-e mtb . @Gary makes a good point about an eeb simply being ridden more. I definitely ride a lot more...

Yeah the eMTBs of a few years ago were very much like a normal MTB with battery and motor bolted on, but the frames are all fully integrated now and designed from the beginning to be eebs. With the possible exception of the drivetrain though, what components do you want to be ebike specific...

Ah ok I misunderstood. But still, Shimano have their own motor which is specced on many brand's bikes, so this is obviously a big focus for them .

I disagree that the major brands have very little focus on eMTB. Sales have exploded over the past 18 months and you'd have to be very shortsighted indeed to think this is only going to continue growing. Specialized even established a separate division especially for the research and...

I don't think there's anything wrong with the design though. The problem is in the way the bikes are assembled. If the battery alignment is done correctly when the bike is assembled, the battery does not fall out. I was lucky enough to find this forum during the several weeks lead time to get...
