    Brake swop and hose flushing

    Agreed with above, I would never put mineral oil through a DOT system and vice-versa. DOT fluid will destroy mineral system seals in a week and mineral oil will swell DOT seals and render brake inoperable. I'd do what Gary said and use the SRAM hose connector, to pull new hoses through, though I...

    EMTB and Jumps - What's the go??

    If you can't jump the bike in it's restricted form, you need to work on your technique. Just watch the vids of Chris Smith on EMBN. That's not a dig at anyone, it's just honest. That said, there are some bikes, as with any MTB, that are better than others. As stated above, it also depends on a...

    Unanswered Shimano EP8 motor stuffed at 1010kms - what brand of motor should I replace it with?

    There are adapters available for the wiring though, and worst case you just swap the display with the motor. I'd personally go down the warranty route, but that's not what the OP asked.

    Unanswered Shimano EP8 motor stuffed at 1010kms - what brand of motor should I replace it with?

    No. Not even all Shimano motors use the same bolt pattern. As mentioned previously, the only other motor that would fit is the E8000.

    How long before you change your bike?

    I've gone through a bunch of eMTBs since 2017, it took time to find the right bikes. With hindsight, I reckon there's one that got away and one I'd love but can't afford. That said, I'll have my Levo SL for a long time, and I am really enjoying my E-Sommet 297 too. Between them, I don't see...

    Vitus E-sommet VRS 2021 battery cover issue

    Ah, misread that. I thought you meant it was glued on, as in painted on and stuck flat!

    Vitus E-sommet VRS 2021 battery cover issue

    Not to be a nay-sayer, but doesn't that flap just cover the drain holes and prevent the water escaping..?

    Do people dislike turbo Levo owners

    Bikes are more a more expensive habit than coke, and ebikes are like crack!!! 😂

    Do people dislike turbo Levo owners

    I work the other way - I hate you all, until you convince me otherwise!!! 😂

    Is this "charging formula" correct ?

    Great shout, forgot that!

    Vitus E-sommet VRS 2021 battery cover issue

    Can you post a photo of that please? Same here, no idea when the rubber bit comes out, but then I didn't know the door was coming until it arrived!

    Vitus E-sommet VRS 2021 battery cover issue

    I've got the same as you have, it came fitted to my bike, and now a new one that they've sent me. The only difference between the one on my bike and the one I got in the post, is that I have to wait for the rubber insert, to stick on the new one. Not complaining, as it means I now have a spare...

    Brand new 9.9 1 mile riding and frames is damaged due to rear mech hanger

    Does sound like this Trek design is not good! I know the UDH is being used on a bunch of other bikes, e and otherwise, but haven't heard of this issue before, so is it just an issue with the Rail?

    Brand new 9.9 1 mile riding and frames is damaged due to rear mech hanger

    No they don't, but sometimes the special tool makes for a much easier and neater job, which is what a customer is paying for. Anyone can grab a mech and bend it back into shape, but that weakens the mech and risks damage to the more expensive component (the mech). Using the mech hanger tool...
