I never realised that air could be added to the Brand-X seat post. How is this done?

Great and honest review? I have had my 2019 for 15 months now and haven’t changed a thing or had one problem with it so far (tempting fate saying that). I just do the normal maintenance and it is reliable. The one thing I found was that the bearings are cheap and I had to replace mine after 9...

Yes, as per CRC. Vitus eSommet - eEscarpe 2018+ Bearing Kit | Chain Reaction Cycles The replacement bearings I used are much better than the original bearings that Vitus use. I changed mine back in September and absolutely no sign of any roughness so far. When I installed the bearings I also...

I get my gpx files from Strava. So if the route was off-road, then Komoot will follow that route. It can be a few metres out on the mapping but, generally, you can see the trail and follow it.

I log into my Komoot account on my PC and simply upload a gpx file of the route I want to follow into my Planned Routes. When I then go into the app on my iPhone it is there and can be loaded and followed. You can have lots of Planned Routes available for selection.

Ordered?. I will fit my Mud Hugger on the rear triangle to reduce the crud getting onto the shock and bearings.

Thanks Gary, I’ll have a look.

I suppose it is a matter of where you ride. My local trails are clay based and I often have to stop to remove mud.

I also had problems with OS maps on my iPhone. I could not use my OS Leisure Map, but the latest release fixes that problem. Is there a way to make OS Maps auto rotate to the direction of travel, as mine always just points North?

Yeah, the rims are 29mm internal width and will easily take a 2.6” tyre. However, be careful with the clearance on the Lyrik fork, especially if you use a mudguard.

If you want great pads at a great price then have a look at Uberbikes site.

Thanks, and noted?

Great, thanks. I do have Stunlocker, I just used the old name because that’s what I think most people will know it as. Do you know if it reduces motor output during gear changes.

I have a Vitus with a chain stay mounted speed sensor. Can I retain this and only install the Di2 mech and shifter and connect? I already have Steps Unlocker, so changing the firmware should not be a problem.

I was expecting a price increase, but £ 1200 is too much for debatable component improvements (Fox Factory versus RockShox Lyrik, etc.). I am glad they retained the external battery as it helps retain the resale (if I ever do) value of my 2019. To me, it’s a beast and certainly a much better...

I agree, I have had great service from Wiggle / CRC. I had to return a Sommet CRS, they arranged collection and within a week I had a replacement.

I can still view the map, did someone fix it again? I’m still the only Ebike on the Isle of Wight?.

OK, just ordered the bearings, let’s hope they last longer than the 7 months the originals lasted?.

Yes, that’s the one. So Gary was right, the shaft is screwed into the frame and removal is from the non drive side using an 8 mm hex wrench. Thank you very much for your info and pic. Now we will all know how to get this out. ??

Thank you. I have my VR in pieces and can remove all the bearings bar the one’s for the main pivot lower swing arm. I cannot see how to remove the pivot shaft so that I can remove the lower swing arm and access the bearings. Gary has suggested a method, which I will look at. Have you done this?
