    Out of warranty shimano repairs

    sounds like a great idea, but as others have said, would need to use the existing battery as all bikes use different battery size/shape/connectors. It would also be good if it was just a plug and play swap, using the same connectors/controllers so that we wouldn't have to replace all sensors etc.

    Coil on Decoy Elite

    I've put a Formula MOD on mine and I love it. So supple and supportive. Gives lots of pop when needed, but the main thing that improves the ride and control is the way the rear tracks the ground, just so planted.

    SRAM Code bleeding issue

    The SRAMs can be a pain, but you need to be patient. Once you have done the first bit (pulling on the syringe at each end), close the bleed port at the rear and then compress and then extend the syringe at the lever end. You will get a lot of air out of it and I mean a lot, keep going with the...

    E8000 Latest Firmware

    ah, my bad. Got confused between the release date and the page last visited date..stand down :-)

    Cranksets

    I don't believe it will. The crank arms connect directly to the motor rather than having an axle running through a bottom bracket. Shimano uses a 24mm axle and DUB uses a larger one, ~29mm I believe?....but don't take my word for it as I don't have an EP8

    E8000 Latest Firmware

    Has anyone updated the firmware to the latest that was released earlier this month? Looks like they're trying to match Bosch with Tour+ with dynamic power across the 3 programs. Just wondering if it works as it says or if its just marketing BS. Firmware update STEPS MTB - SHIMANO STEPS...

    Sold SOLD......2019 Shimano Pce1 interface : 70

    I assumed that it worked on the e8000? Can it clear down the logs etc? maybe remove the fact that the region and wheel circumference was changed?

    Gore R7 Shakedry Trail Jacket

    I'd go for the MT500. It has pockets, pit zips, a hood and feels more substantial than the Gore. It's also more generously cut which suits eMTBers better (not saying eMTBers are fat, but we tend not to wear skin tight lycra (in public)), allowing for multiple layers to be worn underneath. The...

    Gore R7 Shakedry Trail Jacket

    I've got both the Gore and MT500. I like the lightness of the Gore but it's lack of pit zips lets it down (I get very hot and sweaty) and I feel like I'm a boil in the bag chicken. The MT500 is thicker but the pit zips are great. As long as I don't have them undone too far I stay very dry. Both...

    Brake Pads

    Quite possibly. It was incredibly wet and I managed around 30 miles that day but my brakes were dead by the end of the day and I needed the pistons replaced

    Brake Pads

    I think I got my moneys worth out of the OEM pads that came with my MT7s. I managed about 150 miles of mixed trails, downhills and bike parks.

    Kinematics

    Having had the shock sat in my garage for a few months, I finally got round to fitting it. First ride out...wow, transformed the bike. The X2 isn't a bad shock, but the MOD is in a different league! The bike feels so planted and the travel feels bottomless. Its super plush and even on a heavy...

    Review Fox Transfer vs Bikeyoke Revive

    I've had the BikeYoke Revive on my old bike, lovely post, never had an issue with it, but same can be said for the Fox as well. I currently have them on 2 bikes and have not had any issues (touch wood). I do like the fact that everything on the BY is user serviceable without needing specialist...

    Decoy Core 3 vs Shred

    I'd go shred. It's not just XT, but the other components are better too, wheels, bars, stem, shock etc. I really don't think you'll notice a difference between E8000 and EP8

    Bolt problem

    what is the actual problem? The bolts have thread locker on them so after you have loosened it they will still rotate, you'll have to hold the allen key to undo it. I wouldn't recommend using a torque wrench to undo bolts either.

    Brake Hose replacement

    Quick question, do you need to drop the motor to replace the brake hoses on the Decoy? I’ve got to send my brakes off due to sticking pistons but I don’t want to send my bike off, I’ll just swap the brakes from my analog bike, but want to know if I can do it without dropping the motor. If I have...
