    Bosch gen 4 friction

    Recently tested an R & M Delight with B0sch Gen4 / Rollhof hub and Belt drive ...was amazed how little drag there was and was able to exceed the limiter without problem......as others have said maybe it feels draggy because you arrive at the limiter in a higher gear than expected.

    UM Its altogether a bigger bike with 29 wheels and bigger everything and heavier ( it is large size vs my medium) possibly for the trails we ride it is more stable. He moved from a cruiser road bike so he cant compare but very pleased so far ...My '17Jam 2 will be on the market soon as hate...

    Moustache Samedi 29 Trail - Anyone with experience?

    Friend just bought one and is very pleased with it.....we are not mad downhillers but ride some difficult trails and so far so good. I believe unless you are an aficionado and an experienced rider not too many of us would be able to tell the difference between most bikes anyway. I do note...

    Buzzrack....... Holds 2 x EMTBs with 2.7 tyres far better than my Altera. Slightly more fiddly fo fit on tow bar but otherwise excellent.

    Sheared battery bolt on Jam2

    You should be able to purchase a similar bolt from a local fastener supplier .It is sure to be countersunk M8 or something like that. I found some alloy bolts on my 2017 model and replaced the seat clamp one with SS supported with a nut works fine as long I am careful Good luck
