    Shimano, we have a problem.

    I leave the clutch off 100% of the time on my rear derailleur as I tend to pick up sticks often where I ride. 4 broken hangers since December in 3100 miles. Only one destroyed rear derailleur tho but I bet ida broken more with the clutch on and stiff as a board. Shifting is nicer with clutch off...

    Shimano, we have a problem.

    I get the same wear life or better with chains and cassettes as I did on my acoustic bike. 3100 hard miles on my slx 11 speed drivetrain and just swapped out the original cassette after it saw 3 chain swaps over the course of 2900 miles.

    Cracking noise from Shimano E8000

    Chain cleaner

    Lube sparingly and properly and you’ll never have to use chain degreaser.

    Kona Remote 160

    ep8 Model is coming in September. I suspect e7000 is being used on the remote 160 because ep8 is replacing e8000. e7000 is a fantastic motor.

    Is the EMTB world plagued with reliability issues?

    I’ll be passing 3000 miles this week. Just finally installed a new cassette and chain. E8000 motor running as good as day 1 and battery range great.

    Any issues with shimano 8000 motors throwing cranks !

    In over 2900 miles my right crank arm came off once about 1000 miles ago ruining the threaded plastic cap. Got a new cap, greased everything up, tightened everything up super snug and haven’t had the problem again. Now I check the snugness of everything from time to time.

    no one needs an ebike, they just need to ride more and push harder on the pedals.

    Are Shimano staying in the motor game ?

    I never ever wash my bike so maybe that’s a reason mine has gone so many miles haha?
