I use an igrip mount which I bought in local (Swiss) coop for about €30, bit I’ve also seen them online. I’ve had it for three years and countless rides. It’s secure but has an elastic which I seldom bother with but with which it would never come off. The good thing is that I don’t have to...
I use a Thule velospace, which is designed for ebikes (not all models are). The velospace is wider than some others which means that long bikes fit better. The channels are wide enough for 2.8” Tyres. Takes less than five minutes to put on the car and load up two bikes.
Where I live (in the Swiss Alps) the hire bikes, whether analogue or electric are bought by the outdoor shops (who have access to trade prices and deals for bulk orders) at a considerable discount in the spring and at the end of the season they generally sell the lot at up to 50% of retail...
I think it is too dogmatic to say you should use one finger all the time. Use whatever feels most comfortable. Where I live we have some very long and steep descents - sometimes over 1000m and one finger (which I use most of the time) gets tired and braking becomes difficult so then I use two...
I did take the lever bleed port screw out and no fluid came out. Maybe I need to push the pads apart (they are not new - they have had three days of fairly intense use - 2500m of descent) to release some fluid. I guess the worse that can happen is that air gets in and they become spongy or the...
Thanks. I also now found in the SRAM archive instructions for the 2016/2017 Lyrik solo air fork. I wonder if this is the same as my 2019 fork? In the official Rockshox lyric kit I got there were a couple of small black plastic washers. I guess these are the crush washers. There was also a...
I accidentally pumped out one of the pistons in my code R brakes today. I managed to get the piston back in but as I had lost some fluid I had to bleed the brakes, which was overdue anyway. Having bled them, I am having a problem with brake rub - the pistons don't retract enough and there is...
I have got a 2019 Kenevo with RockShox Lyrik forks RCT3, 27.5", Solo Air. I did a service on them today. Although I had a rockshox joint kit for lyriks the wave washer was not included, so I did not replace this. I cannot find a service pdf for the lyrik forks with solo air so was using the...
I don't understand why anyone with an ebike would want to make their rides public. As pointed out above why advertise where we are riding, especially if some areas are sensitive about this?I believe walkers and bikers can safely and enjoyably share the same countryside - we have some trails (in...
Glad you‘re OK (sort of). I had a stupid off many years ago (going over a low wall and catching the chain ring on the lip which tipped me straight over the handlebars) and ended up with over thirty stitches in my face. Luckily my wife drove me down to Lausanne where there was a permanent plastic...
I have ebikes with both Bosch and Brose. I find both amazingly natural and I like the overrun. As well as helping to avoid pedal strikes, it also means one can succeed on a steep and technical ascent as the bike keeps going when one has to pause pedalling. An analogue bike would just ground to a...
I beg to differ. I use flats in winter so I can wear warmer boots and go clipless for the rest of the year. I get far fewer pedal strikes with the smaller clipless pedals, because flats extend wider than most shoes or boots and the sides catch, particularly on narrow trails cut into a steep...
I love my 2018 Kenevo. I think it fits in between the current Kenevo and Levo. It does everything I need and has got me out of trouble on many an occasion. I am on my second motor but the old one did not give up on me but started to make a clicking noise when hot, which may have been a precursor...
My 2018 Kenevo is a keeper. Strip away the motor and battery it is a pretty good enduro bike, especially with Ohlins coil shock and 180mm suspension. Yes, its heavy but it doesn't half look after you when things get a bit wild. It would be nice to upgrade to a bigger battery but that's not...
So what are these that I ordered? My LBS definitely said 6903 come in 2 different internal widths and the bearings that were sent are definitely 18mm and are marked 6903.

Thanks. I've been in contact with them (very helpful) over sending my motor to be upgraded, which I'll do next winter (when I can't ride because of snow where I live) unless my motor breaks down beforehand. I'm on my second motor and I kind of feel it is only a matter of time before it goes...
I’ve just changed my bearings in the rear wheel. First issue I had was that the largest bearing puller from the kit Iordered from Bearingprotools did not seem to fit properly and failed to remove the bearing. This was because I did not realise that the kit for my bike was just for the suspension...
Has anyone any tips on removing a 2018 Kenevo motor? There is lots in the inter web about levo motor removal but I understand that the Kenevo motor is mounted differently to the Levo. I’ve got the tool to remove the lock ring and I’ve got pullers to take off the chainring and I’m assuming it’s...
It’s interesting how many of us have a “spare” or at least a second bike to make sure we’re not without a bike for a while. It says something about the reliability of ebikes. I notice that people are asking ridiculous prices for second hand ebikes. Anyone who does a bit of research knows that...
