    Canyon K.I.S. (Keep It Stable) - In frame Steering Damper

    The Pinkbike reviewer didn't rate it! Someone on here was recently complaining about wheel flop or oversteer riding at low speeds which is really a symptom of not having adjusted to how much more prevalent that is with a longer slacker geo. That said, the right geo design compromise in terms of...

    Flat MTB Shoes don't fit

    There is a reason why 5-10s are the default flat pedal shoe!! There could also be other reasons for your foot pain besides the shoe being too narrow. The 2 biggest differences between clipless and flat is that clipless shoes have a virtually solid sole whereas flat pedal shoes provide more flex...

    Unsolicited Specialized motor turn ons

    I assume you are talking about the difference between a QR and a 15mm thru bolt. Note however there are a number of 15mm thru bolt designs that include a lever and do not require an Allen key to remove them. Lack of room in a garage to use a bike stand can also be resolved with a wall mounted...

    Bosch Smart System - brand new bike ERROR

    Tour plus colour code on the LED Remote is blue...............yours is orange which means there is a fault. Of course you have the Kiox 300 so you already know that but useful to note if for example you were running with the Kiox removed. I am always sceptical about diagnostic error reports. In...

    Unsolicited Specialized motor turn ons

    If you want a somewhat less traumatic method of removing and refitting the front wheel, try using a wheel stand. Firstly it means you can use it to stand the bike whilst you get your vehicle prepared. Remove the thru axle.......bike still stands. Pick the bike up using fork upper and seat stay...

    KIOX 300 retrofit on an RSX

    No.....the Bosch Smart System components are not backward compatible with any previous Bosch system. The reason is that the Bosch Smart System uses a different/faster CAN network to connect all electrical components ( called CAN FD).

    KIOX 300 retrofit on an RSX

    Think you are getting confused!! If your bike is the Bosch System 2......ie Purion conroller........then in order to get a display one of your options is Kiox and you can buy that as an upgrade kit. Kiox 300 is a completely different display to the System 2 Kiox and is only compatible with the...

    Fox 38 on Orbea Wild collides with down tube

    I am constantly amazed by such glaring design errors. It has already been said above but worth repeating that a knock block is incapable of preventing over rotation of the bars in even the mildest of crashes. Adding to that that there is no additional frame strength gained from having a...

    Bosch performance Line CX intermittent motor cut rears it’s ugly head again.

    The problem with the software diagnosis is that it diagnoses very little in fact but does give a history of what you already know...which is unexpected shutdowns. So what happens is Bosch suggests a series of component changeouts...but only one at a time! To be honest if it is out of warranty...

    Bosch Smart System: auto mode.

    I had not heard of it either until I saw a video by "The Loam Wolf" with a guy from Bosch explaining the Auto mode. It is a mode option that can only be selected using the Bosch Diagnostic software...so by a Bosch dealer/LBS. His explanation was that it covers the complete range of power...

    Freehub body

    The problem here is that rear hubs are usually supplied complete with the freehub.....or a choice of freehub .....hg/microspline/xd.... So Synthesis should be able to tell you what hub and freehub was fitted to that wheel and possibly supply spares/service kits.

    Freehub body

    https://www.commencal-store.co.uk/free-hub-body-formula-fh-904-c2x31746615 So what is your problem? ps it is a Formula Part and they virtually only supply OEM so you will find it ( as a bove) on a bike brand site that fits it to one of their bikes but not as an aftermarket sale item.

    Bosch Smart motor 2022 - walk assist problems

    For those scenarios surely it is easier to carry the bike, in the same way you would if using an analogue bike. A back pack helps if you need to do that. I doubt walk assist was ever intended to be used for extended uphill trudges like you describe.

    Cube hardtail notes

    My wife's 2020 Cube Hybrid Access EX 500 has covered 550 miles so decided to give it an overhaul. Cube dropped the Hybrid version of the Access in 2021 but I suspect the Cube Reaction has a similar build so some of the following may be useful for those owners. Drivetrain: SRAM Eagle. SX Mech...
