I thought we were just sharing information ? No one needs to do anything. Enjoy your day. :)

The maths on that doesn't add up when you are using hi-end components, let alone the bike will shift poorly and not run as silent for a much larger percentage of the time you use it. The bottle of squirt cost AUD$20. It should last a long time. Poor chain maintenance will not only wear the...

OK Zim, I will defer to your old wise ways, and am going to run Squirt. After watching a video about it, I saw the need to start with a completely clean drive train so I removed the rear wheel, chain and derailleur. Then removed the 12 speed cassette and disassembled it and cleaned everything...

Another cracker of a day in Sydney. Rode to an area called Heathcote. I was joined by Skippy ....... It was actually a Wallaby. The bridge of death. It's so lopsided. But a nice view from it. There is an old abandoned Hwy in the middle of the bush. This is the old Princes Hwy...

If it's the 720Wh, it's probably the Darfon. Not a Shimano battery. It's frustrating because when there are issues like this. Shimano point the finger ar Darfon, and Darfon at Shimano. I stick with a complete Shimano electronic system, right down to the Di2 shifter and derailleur, to avoid the...

Pffft ........ Batteries though ....... so Casio ....... 😉

Here's the pic

I snapped my mechanical SLX derailleur about 3 months before buying the XT Di2 one. It happens.

Grommet and cable tie used on my Merida. No issues to date. Keep in mind. The part where the cable goes into the derailleur, is fixed. It does not move, when changing gears. There would only be movement if the derailleur was impacted, or when you adjust the B screw. Freeshift when coasting...

I've done this before. You are never going to get exact colour matching. It's also to match my new clothing and shoes, which aren't all exactly the same sky blue. So I'm not looking for exact colour match. Just a red and sky blue theme to the bike and my clothing. Oh BTW. MTB shorts are just...

Heat is a known battery life reducer of lithium ion batteries. Hi speed doesn't make you battery hot. High current for long periods, makes your battery hot. So using your motor above the limiter won't damage your battery. Using the bike in high Power Modes to achieve speeds above the limiter...

It comes down to this. In the US. Cycling is mostly about sport. In Europe. Cycling has a much larger connection to transportation. Ebikes make much more sense when you aren't thinking that, "It's just a device that gives you an unfair sporting advantage". Times are changing. But some people...

I think he was thinking that the SRAM cassette and chain can handle full load shifts like the Linkglide, and give you Autoshift. This way you can keep your 12 speed setup. But the Di2 12 speed derailleur won't allow it. The main reason I haven't tried Linkglide and Autoshift, is all the faff...

Adding some Sky Blue Bling to my Red Bike. SPD Pedals Valve Caps Stem Bolts Water Bottle screws Seat Clamp Grips Chain Ring Bolts Mud Guards I'll post picks when it all turns up. Oh BTW. Why Sky Blue ? Quad Lock fittings on handlebars have sky blue in them. So that started a theme.

Today I finally took on a "Black" rated run called Bobcats in Sydney Royal National Park.

When you fit the 12 speed derailleur, it disables Autoshift. So cassette choice isn't so critical.

Yes. Volume of oil. A 4 pot caliper needs more oil pumped.

I did a thread about it. Have a read. Keep in mind. I'm using the phone exclusively as the EMTB computer. I have a Pixel 8 as my mobile phone. https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/3-inch-phone-as-a-emtb-bike-computer.39457/

I bought a 3 inch phone that will mount permanently on the EMTB, to act as a bike computer.

I got the XS16, which has the larger 2000mAh battery. With the screen on full brightness and the Shimano App running. I went through about 50% of the battery in 3 hours. So it will last about 5hrs at full brightness. But I also have a 10,000mAh battery that I can quad lock on the spare quad lock...
