sorry to mislead..........no its just my idea of what could have been done instead of a blutooth lock/unlock via the phone. There needs to be a fall back in case the phone is lost or damaged, so maybe my idea could be the fallback. Anyone from Bosch on this forum???

I will be interested to see what criterea appear to be used to determine whether a gear change is recommended. Having never been a roadie I had no real concept of cadence until I used the Kiox screen with that displayed for a c ouple of rides. I know the Bosch motor performs best at c 70 rpm...

So for anyone looking to use this facility, this is how/why I use planned routes/tours. If I am about to go somewhere new and want to ensure I can immediately access good trails I research the area using Trailforks. So for example I was due to go camping in South Wales and wanted to do at least...

Thanks for the info. I currently use a Tractive tracker which costs less to buy and a bout the same in terms of subscription with the only primary difference being that it is battery powered so has to be removed occasionally for charging. I did look at the Connect Module as a possible...

I tried a gain today to get the navigation facility on Kiox 300..................and was successfull finally....but not without some messing a bout!! Initially I could not connect Flow at all and usually it is instantaneous. I kept trying and eventually got a connection. Another software update...

Well it will be interesting to see what you find. I made my suggestion based on the way specialized fitted the TCU......ie one screw at the front and a spring clip at the back. If it is the same maybe the spring clip has fallen off. Either way I cannot believe the correct fittig leaves a gap at...

Looks like it is fitted wrong to me. I think maybe the part that sits on the top tube is fixed with a screw at the top ( nearest the headtube, but it should be inserted into the hole in the top tube tail first ( I assume there is a lip or sprung clip to hold it in place) then the top secured...

The majority of video editing programmes use very much the same techniques so if you earn one you have a head start for any other you find to suit you better. There is however no shortcut to spending a little time to learn the basics. You can do no harm to your existing videos by importing...

A dogs likely reaction to a bike can often be anticipated by knowing the breeds and their characteristics. I mostly know which dogs may pose a problem. At least around here ( rural SW/south coast) whether in the forests or on coastal ridgeways etc dogs are mostly off the lead and pose no...

I reckon the more climbs you can comfortably do seated the better the balance fore/aft must be on any particular bike. For me if the climb is one that can be done in one shot and is steep but not technical I stay seated but with the dropper probably a third down from max height. If its technical...

Well I could not understand how he chose to set up the Fox 38 and Float X on the Whyte either!! Very different to Fox recommendations and my set up with the 38 which I have on 2 bikes.

Rob did not mention anything a bout a flip chip which seems de rigour on most new bikes now; and if there was one it might be able to resolve the inevitable issues caused by a high bb....and therefore high centre of mass. Bike on high for adventure climbing with gnarly climbs.............bike on...

CS M7100 cassette/ SLX M7100 chain or am XT 12 speed chain for better wear. Standard shimano cassette tool to remove the cassette

If you do not use a rear mudguard the upper pivot bearings get everything thrown forward off the rear tyre. If you want to DIY you will need a blind bearing puller to remove the bearing in situ or if you move the arm to get access from the other side you can drive or press it out and press in a...

I agree in general but I believe there is one scenario where this can be caused by an electrical fault and I have experienced those exact issues on a Bosch motored bike.......it was caused by a faulty controller....so in this case I would suspect a TCU fault. No idea how it happens!!

Agreed...not bad. Superstand brand is the highest quality and stable of that design of stand......if you can find them for sale in the UK. Made in the US I think.

When e bikes are stolen the thief rarely gets to steal its original charger so I wonder how many of these fires actually involve stolen bikes.

Update: I ended up fitting Hope 155mm cranks on my Whyte E180RS and today was my first ride with them. As far as the primary aim of doing that is concerned it was 100% successfull. I rode c 11 miles of forest trails I know very well and quite a few of them have sections strewn with very...

Do whatever is required to get a good cockpit fit is the mantra! However a persons height is not necessarilly a decent guide since body shapes differ. The proportion of that height that is a bove and below the hips can vary quite a bit and arm length and shoulder width also affect how far...

There was initially an IEEE standard for blutooth in same way as there is for IP etc, but for whatever reason it was decided to no longer maintain that standard . Instead the protocol became managed by a Special Interest Group ( SIG)who do much the same thing as IEEE and have been responsible...
