I've had a great relationship with Camden Cycles in Sydney Australia, who are a Amflow dealer. They have been nothing but exemplary with looking after bikes I have bought from them. I would expect the Amflow to be no different. They are a Specialised and Giant dealer. I bought a Giant Talon...

They are the old EP8 motors. 4 newer Shimano motors in my ride group. Three EP600 and one EP801. Oldest one is 12 months. They have been bulletproof. But we are all meticulous about our bikes and motors in clearing, drying and maintenance. Especially around all the electrical connections.

This problem has only surfaced on the EP600 and EP801. They have a different firmware to the EP8. Because I wanted a fully integrated motor, battery, and electronic transmission from a single manufacturer. That way I get Freeshift and Autoshift. And also, I make lots of modifications, and as...

Mate, If you aren't going take note of error codes, and at least google them. Then I think you are going to have trouble with any motor or ebike you purchase. Ebikes are complex machines. You cannot ignore Error Codes. Just take a photo before resetting it. Then look it up later. But if the...

I've never had a problem with my Shimano EP600, which is almost identical to the EP801. I'm just in the process of building a new rear wheel, so I can fit a 11s Linkglide transmission. So I did quite a bit of research, and came across the magnet issue. I can assure you that if I get even a...

Anti tamper software is mandated by law. That is why with each firmware update, any detected breaches of speed limiting are normally patched. Shimano must do this. Unfortunately the downside is that a magnet can create a double pulse, if not aligned perfectly. This is then detected as speed...

It's a well documented fault in the German pedalec forum. Really should have had the E295 error checked by his LBS when it occurred the second time. It relates to the magnet pickup. And the fact he was swapping wheels probably means the magnet pickup was not setup correctly. If you swap...

Out in the National Park today it was Team Merida e160 700 ........ But did I make a fashion faux pas ???........ How good does my mates Blue e160 go with my outfit ....... :ROFLMAO: It was super slippery on that rock and when I came through, my front wheel tried to slide into the pond...

Fascinating Lab test. I'll be sure to keep it in mind when I need an EMTB to ride in a Lab .......... :ROFLMAO: Meanwhile ....... What is more important, is someone riding The DJI Vs the Bosch up a mountain, because that's where most people ride Mountain Bikes. And in that test, the DJI was...

I read that his concern is, that he modified the motors configuration with Emax, rather than with the Shimano ETube software. Because only the Shimano Mechanic's version of ETube could have made the changes he needed. And now he wants to do a firmware upgrade with the Shimano Software. Will it...

I read it that they fitted a Di2 Derailleur, so selected the Electronic Derailleur in Emax, giving them Autoshift, as you cannot do this with customer copies of Shimano ETube.

I took a closer look. It was just a twisted derailleur and bent hangar. Must have hit something on the trails. I have a hangar alignment tool, so I fixed that. Then just straightened the twisted derailleur cage. Re-setup the derailleur alignment. And all is silent again.

Yeah sorry. Didn't see it was a US post. So yes. 32kph or lower would be fine. If I plug my laptop and ETube software into my motor, and I haven't set my speed back to 25kph using the Emax software. It detects the altered limit and won't let you update the firmware.

As long as the speed limit is set to no more than 25kph. It should be fine.

Which model ? Mate of mine has the Talon E+3. Hasn't had any issues. And what exactly did they shim ? The battery ? It does sound like a poor connection overheating.

I run those pads on the front. I get them from Aliexpress. But have been using $7 for four pairs, Aliexpress 4 pot pads, on the rear. They only last half as long, <about 500km> But they work really well. The rotor doesn't seem mind them either.

I have the Shimano 7100 hub. And you cannot just change the rachet bit to HG. So frustrating. I've order a Shimao 410 boost hub in HG, and I've got some spare rims, so I'm just going to build an new rear wheel. If I do a good job. I'll buy all the Linkglide bits. But even using an existing...

Yes. I have the Shimano 12S Di2 XT system on my EMTB. I do a lot of technical climbing in Boost Mode, and I just don't get the life out of chains and cassettes. When you shift in boost mode, the over run is really hard on the chain and cassette. You need a transmission designed for full power...

Cube. SRAM AXS with T type chain Vs Shimano 12S hyperglide. The SRAM will be much stronger and last much longer and is electronic. This is a big thing on an EBike. Shimano shifts real nice. But I just don't think the 12s system it's strong enough for full power EMTBs.

Yes it's intermittent. It only creaks under high load pedal forward. Shimano Mid drive motors don't spin the chainring when you pedal backwards. So nothing happens if you pedal backwards. If the roll the bike backwards. You could get some noise. But that is more to do with your chainline...
