    Rail (625Wh) 2021 Trek Rail 9.8 rear wheel not centred

    Are the wheels being tried in this bike non standard? Ie not the original wheel? Could it be that the original rear wheel for this particular model was offset...not centred??

    I very much doubt that putting goods in a basket has any impact on stock status. Stock numbers are more likely reduced either when successfully ordered or even only when picked and despatched. A stock inventory would also sponsor new stock orders on the same basis. On some sites the basket is...

    Biketart Woes

    I agree............in stock does mean on a clothes rack or shelf behind the counter of a LBS has the item waiting to be packed and despatched!!!! The issue here is that these online purchase systems together with the communications/tracking that goes with them is fully automated so there is...

    Will there ever be a fix for the Bosch motor rattle?

    pretty sure Bosch would have announced any design change designed to quieten the motor. Neither of my Bosch powered bikes rattle ( Whyte E180RS/Whyte E160 RSX). I think it was established that the rattle derives from the amount of pedal kick the bike generates when freewheeling and that depends...

    Rail (750Wh) Bad Design?

    no need to wait for custom colours..any acrylic paint will do the job with no undercoat. You could do it trail mud brown:p

    Rail (625Wh) 2021 Trek Rail 9.8 rear wheel not centred

    ............. or..... wheel is OK but axle wrongly assembled.....maybe drive side/non drive side end caps are reversed?

    Rail (750Wh) Bad Design?

    .....maybe a quick paint job would make it a little less.......Whyte! To be honest I' not sure why you do not just fit a rear mudguard to achieve protection of the chainstay pivots but also the seat stay/yoke linkage bearings which are in the direct firing line of trail mud/water coming off the...

    Biketart Woes

    I have always had excllent service and value from Biketart ( just to provide some balance!) . No doubt their suppliers are experiencing the same problem as Biketart themselves in getting goods though the Royal Mail system...................they are on strike today and yesterday. Not helping...

    Rise Battery losing charge over a few days? Fault? normal? age?

    Measuring the state of charge of a lithium battery is most likely done on our bikes merely by measuring voltage.............if so it is not particularly accurate to start with!! Voltage drop as a percentage of the rated voltage of the battery is very small until battery is more that 70%...

    Non drive side crank seal.

    not something that can easily be replaced so a repair would be best. Try using some liquid gasket. Clean the area with some IPA on a cloth first, then smear some grease on the crank below the area where the black rubber seal part is missing and apply the liquid gasket. Do not disturb the crank...

    What is the perfect EMTB?

    My priorities are slightly different. I think most of the brands have converged on a fairly standard geo and have 160/170mm bikes equally suited to trail and most enduro capable......... so the main differences for me are:- Excellent engineering............ally not carbon, no headset cable...

    Can't believe I did that ..

    Yes..I have done it and the most disgusting aspect was that I had my Gopro on a chin mount at the time. The footage was not nice!!
