    Should the jockey wheels be in line?

    I suspect it is done to try to compensate for the fairly extreme chainline on a 12 speed .......to better match the chainline return from the chainwheel in the highest gear. Probably adds a bit of noise when in the middle of the cassette though. Sram use a narrow/wide tooth profile on the lower...

    Bike fixing and you

    .....sorry...don't think those analogies all apply. A bike is a pretty simple mechanical device. On an EMTB the motor is out of bounds if in warranty so what is left that you can work on electrically are connections and 2 components ....which can be changed out (remote and controller). Most...

    Levo Gen 3 Help find the rattle on my '22 Levo Expert?

    On most bikes it is fixed on the chainstay such that it is pretty tight against the seat stay and protective film is stuck on the seat stay. If it is loose enough to rattle maybe check the fixings

    ebike connect and kiox

    You are referring to the Bosch Smart System ( Gen 3).........the OPs bike is 2021...so Bosch gen2 system. It is the phone that provides GPS info not the bike ( the Bosch Smart System combines that with the data it gets from its sensors), so any GPS error is down to your phone ( or its ability...

    Rail (750Wh) Rail - Normal Bosch rattle?

    Tame the pedal kick and you get rid of most of the rattle.....if the kinematics of your rear triangle allow. Even descending in a mid cassette gear rather than on a small cog helps.

    Essential difference between Hybrid One and Hybrid Kathmandu

    They are both touring bikes with a bit of offroad capability.....gravel tracks etc. The Katmandu has a more powerful motor and bigger battery so capable of rather more demanding terrain in terms of hills etc and probably better if the bike is going to be loaded down with backpacking gear. You...

    And that was that...

    ..............or move somewhere less wet than Cornwall!! :p. .....and ride somewhere with no claggy mud. The forests a round here are sandy loamy soil that just brushes off when dry and we have plenty of winter days when the riding is good. I look at it slightly different. In cooler...

    Levo Gen 3 New Levo on Spesh website?

    This is essentially the same as the base ally model but with carbon frame and 700w/h battery.............standard TCU. I guess a reasonable target for someone wanting the carbon frame and to dump all the very low spec drivetrain elements.

    KIOX 300 retrofit on an RSX

    From the description is would seem the new CX motor has the mounting location with 4 bolt holes for the Module. The package looks interesting but at the moment I have already paid a year in advance for my tracker subscriptions so I will look at this a gain when they expire. The one thing I do...

    KIOX 300 retrofit on an RSX

    the retrofit version is complete with cable and mounting kit. The first item linked a bove is just the tracker............presumably for someone who has broken or lost the tracker. So you need the retrofit.

    Bike fixing and you

    The suspension set up is a defining feature of my bikes and its all performance elite or factory Fox so I leave servicing to TF Tuned. I have never been convinced about the virtue of lower leg service v a full service so I just get the full service done

    ive fitted the bosch cx repair kit - Cannot torque cranks correctly now?

    Yes...which means you need cranks with the same spindle depth as your old ones. When you fit the crank on the Isiss motor spindle it sits against a shoulder once fully tightened. Your new ones being narrower are hitting the chainwheel/chain guard before the crank hits up against that spindle...

    Bike fixing and you

    I do all my own maintenance. I would not ride a bike that someone else has messed with!! I think there are more benefits to doing your own maintenance than just avoiding the cost of LBS labour charges. Stripping various parts of the bike teaches you how things work and therefore gives you...

    ive fitted the bosch cx repair kit - Cannot torque cranks correctly now?

    I think the problem definitely relates to that part of the crank but I think the original crank also has a deeper/longer spindle length. Maybe the only way to resolve the issue is to seek advice from Scott bikes or a Scott bike dealer.

    Cube 140hpc 750/Cracked frame???

    I doubt the "damage" around the metal inserts is much more than cosmetic but still annoying....and preventable with the right lay up. The edge of a metal insert into carbon is bound to be stressed and it needs layers of UD carbon in a spiral formation to prevent that. Pretty labour intensive and...
