the point being that even if one of the deristrictor products finds a way a round the Bosch Smart detection system you can be pretty sure firmware/software updates will close the loophole, since all brands have committed to ensure pedelecs remain legal, because it is in their commercial...

I am not sure what Shimano rear hub you have and therefore what the freehub arrangement is but it seems to me, given how you appear to have resolved it, that your problem was not with the cassette but rather with the freehub......specifically whether is was fully fixed onto the hub ( it either...

if the new bike is with the Bosch Smart System I would guess it can recognise any deristriction device

...same fix.... but I suspect the fault is in the cable since the only difference between the bike being on a stand and then on the foor is the shape of the cable as it goes from the chainstay to the connection in the motor. .....and probably at the last place it is fixed on the chainstay.

I see no reason why the fix as is should not work properly provided the shock remains free to pivot. As the suspension compresses the angle of the shock changes slightly and it should pivot around the fixing bolt. So if the LBS has now fitted a bigger diameter bolt how have the bushings been...

yes... I tend to agree with that and it is exacly how tyre choice has been made on my Whyte E160 RSX ( Assegai front and DHR11 rear) . My e180 RS is Assegai front and back and the max grip on the back.........and yes wear has been fairly rapid!!

the effectiveness of walk mode depends on having the right power mode and gear to ensure the rear wheel does not spin up. If the rear wheel exceeds 6kph walk mode will stop. That is not a problem on the flat but the problem often is that a failed climb means that at the point of failure you may...

The fork has a code on it which if you look up will tell you the factory tune. There are a number of reasons the fork may feel harsh 1. I have repeatedly found that both Fox and RS suggest air spring pressures are too high ( at least for me). One reason may be that the majority of forks bought...

Whatever you make fit it will be a max of 500ml..probably 400ml so not really worth having. If you extend the carrier further down you foul the charge port and still end up with the top of the smallest bottle rubbing the shock. ( I tried all of the that on my E180 RS using a Fly 550 bottle from...

Some tyres are specifically designed to optimise performance on the front or the rear........e.g. Maxxis DHF and DHR or Michelin Enduro Front and rear. Typically tyres optimised for performance on the front have more aggressive side knobs whilst tyres optimised for the rear have a tread pattern...

I have done c 200 miles on my Whyte E160 RSX so far. I pay no attention to range predictions which are laregely meaningless, but I have done a good mix of rides in that 200 miles which gives me an indication of the likely total battery range. My rides are mostly singletrack with minimal or no...

not a lot of choice come winter time!! Yes it is not spared foul trail conditions.

.....because I have the bike on a stand I had to remove and replace the battery from below. I rarely remove the battery but when I do, I put the bike upside down on the bars and use my DIY strap ( two 13amp socket screws with a piece of webbing between them) to pull the battery out, and never...

After 2 years of faultless performance I decided it was time to check it over. Mileage is low at 800 miles because I have 2 bikes and only use the 180 for the gnarlier rides. In 2 years all I have done is change the gear cable because it was frayed and changed the chain at about 600 miles. The...

I agree.........as far as I can tell Bosch make the battery and also offer mounting plates. It is up to each bike designer to decide how to fix those in the downtube. The problem of the battery powering off because it is not securely fixed seems to be a Trek problem.......there are loads of...

If the satellite switch has a battery which is charged by the main battery then surely that satellite battery can be changed. Maybe make some enquiries about replacement battery for the satellite switch?

On my Sram X01 mech the guide pulley ( top) is secured with red loctite ( as standard out of the box).............bottom pulley blue loctite.

In which case the main battery alignment problems of previous years may be a red herring for you. When the bike cuts out are you able to restart it straight away? When on a ride does it cut out? On the Bosch Smart System the LED Remote has a 3.7v rechargeable battery and is charged by the main...

each bike probably has a different factory tune which is your starting point.............check out the spec using the code label on the forks.

Not familiar with Trek.....are these latest reports of powering off the Bosch Smart System or the previous gen?
