    Hiring an eMTB in Europe

    Agreed, flip-flopping between mc's and bicycles was never a problem for me because of it. I think if I had to use a right hand rear brake on a bicycle it would take me a very long time to adjust!

    Hiring an eMTB in Europe

    MT5's flip too. Most hire shops are happy to oblige if you tell them you are a back to front UK'er. A shop flipped them no problem on a full sus we hired in France for my daughter. Can't remember what they were though, not MT5's.

    Rise - Check your Pivot Bearings

    I've found that they go very wafty far before they start developing play. My old Trance had zero play but when I stripped every bearing down half of them were seized, a couple were very stiff and the remaining were proper notchy. I certainly felt that the bearings were inadequately sized for...

    Rail (750Wh) It’s a great bike, but ultimately it’s flawed in one critical aspect

    Very interesting solution! I cant see any drawbacks except a bit more resistance when back-peddling which I'm sure wouldn't be a problem for the majority. If mine was annoying I would try sorting something similar out myself, maybe I will if I get bored

    SRAM GX vs Shimano XT

    I ditched my stock NX mech within 30 miles due to reading so many horror stories about them having crap longevity. I went with an SLX mech and whilst I was there fitted an SLX shifter - not cos the NX one was crap but shifters aren't a lot of money and I felt it made sense to keep the same...

    Rail (750Wh) It’s a great bike, but ultimately it’s flawed in one critical aspect

    Fair shout that, I had never thought about some bikes maybe having a high pedal kickback due to the rear sus design, and given the Bosch rattle is very much dependant on quick changes in rotation of the chainring it makes sense that some bikes will deffo be louder than others. Like you, I don't...

    knee and elbow protection

    For me, POC VPD 2.0 for elbows, Leatt 3DF 6.0 for knees as they have the flexible outer shell for a little more protection. Been really happy with both, don't notice either after 15 mins. I actually wanted the Fox Launch Pro D3O or the knees but couldn't find them anywhere at the time. The...

    Re-Build ande Re-Cell of Shimano Batteries

    Interesting. Did it require some special connection with the BMS or did you just keep it fed with a slave voltage whilst you disconnected the power from the original cells?

    Allmtn advice

    Still over the moon with my 2020 AllMtn 3. Zero problems. I really wanted a carbon version but couldn't stretch to it. I then read about the issues with some Haibike carbon frames on this forum and wondered if I dodged a bullet there. Personally I'm not naive enough to write off all Haibike...

    Correct, the Zeb airspring wont fit the Domain.

    BMS Reset

    Who makes the battery? If it were mine I would unplug it anyway. It'd be high hopes in resetting the BMS but you don't have much to lose. I'd probably do the left plug too (charge + and -) Looking at the soldered parallel tabs it looks like you may have at least 8 or 9 strings. If unplugging...

    BMS Reset

    I presume its reading 0v on the main out? That does look like a BMS connector but I would expect there to be more than 5 balance leads...do you know the battery config?

    Derestricting bosch smart system

    It was a 504 (speed tamper) error. Not an overheat/overload one. You're the one trying to prove something (although I'm still not sure what). I would suggest you try and find an example of a planetary gear working without errors on a Bosch Gen 4 or Smart system.

    Derestricting bosch smart system

    Logic doesn't come into it. I'm simply explaining how the systems do their best to detect derestriction. You're aware thats exactly what happened to at least one rider who used a loaded trailer right? No it can't but thats not the point. With the greatest respect I'm not exactly sure what...

    Derestricting bosch smart system

    But I thought thats exactly how they were fighting derestricting, using the data Mikerb pointed out above. Re your 1.5x slower, the system tries to find this by using lookup tables to work out why the motor is using more torque and the battery more current to do a speed that is reportedly 1.5x...

    Granted, but they were very sure about their stance, which was repeated on multiple occasions too.
