I'd have to agree, I wore my IXS Trigger FF all day in the stifling heat of a Morzine summer and it seemed no more hot/bulky/heavy than my Fox Speedframe. These modern FF lids like the Trigger and Proframe are simply amazing and so light. In true Dad-speak, there really is no excuse for not...

You appear to be discounting that ebike batteries are connected in parallels. That could be 2, 3, 4 or more cells, each perfectly capable of taking (in the case of a Sanyo GA for example) 1.67A. It's why my Bosch stock charger is 4A, the optional fast charger is 6A. The max charge current all...

As I mentioned earlier, there should be no arc or spark whatever way you plug things in because the caps you refer to are switched, either via mosfets or relays (on both input and output) following system handshakes. It makes not one jot of difference however I plug things in with my Bosch...

There isn't any extra power, only extra speed. But yes, go above the regular 15.5mph limit and you will be using more energy. How much depends on how long you spend above 15.5mph, how much effort you are putting in, the gradient, terrain etc etc. Tbh and without being rude it's a bit of an...

Is it possible to directly swop out my SRAM PG1230 11-50 12 speed cassette with the 11-50 Linkglide? As a note, would it work with my current XX1 chain and SRAM 12sp chainring? I realise I would need to swop out the shifter and mech too

It's immaterial whether theres a switch at the wall or not. The 'actual' switching takes place within the charger, both on the input and output, and it won't turn on any output to the battery until the charger has sorted itself out power-wise, shaken hands with the battery and done a diagnostic...

For most of the well known ebike systems out there (Bosch/Yamaha etc) made in the last 5+ years or so it really doesn't matter. This is one of the joys (and unfortunately, cost) of having a properly engineered system unlike the cheap shite. Decent stuff will not have hot battery ports and...

I am fairly confident that a generic nylon stepped washer could be obtained quite easily from a decent online hardware supplier. This isn't a critical part, it's just to prevent, at the most, a very low pressure oil leak. I'm happy to look for one if someone can provide all the dimensions.

Provides 730w.

Pads look right on the edge of the disc on the front (compared to the rear), not overhanging a little are they? Just thought I'd point it out. I'm sure it's fine, just looks like a lot of untouched disc area.

Blimey is that the superlight helium version?

Yeah I think thats where the YT guy is trying to come from. Although adding air to the lowers won't affect the air spring chamber pressure, it does add air pressure under the stanchions. The obvious question one has to ask therefore is.....why not just add more air to the airspring to achieve...

Got that, and I think your reply is actually to 'YT guy' who suggested adding air to his lowers :) But you do raise something - I appreciate that the airshaft is sealed from the lower, but anything in the lower will still affect the airshaft operation will it not? A bit like why F38's have...

I understand how it would work, up until the point of first compression when the piston passes the notch and equalises the neg with whatever is in the positive, irrespective of what might have been in the negative to start with. Quite happy to admit I'm missing something though.

Blimey I'm glad this thread was bumped, that Focus/Peugeot blue looks really similar to my Haibike! I'll be off to Halfords and having a rummage for one of those pens, cheers! BTW, when I contacted Haibike for a code/paint they weren't in the slightest bit interested either :(

A throttle isn't illegal per se. You just need to put it through the required type approval to obtain L1e, as Wisper bikes do. It's not even prohibitively expensive either, being around a £200 option. https://wisperbikes.com/product-category/throttle-electric-bikes/ If a relatively small LBS...

I've deffo seen this on some old Shimano discs I had. Not sure of the model though. And they were teeny 160's IIRC.

Out of interest, anyone here done the 730w shunt mod on the Gen4?

Brilliant! Just a Q...I'm going to hazard a guess that you charge it through the schrader in the lid...? but how do you 'switch' the output? I can't see an on/off valve?? I guess I better be looking up diy ghetto compressors

Working on a bike with no socks, brown loafers and a Rolex. Like it. Very decadent. Are you a dentist? :D
