My Strive is coming on tomorrow, probably in the same shipment as Winryn's. I've ordered tubeless valves but realised I've ordered 40mm instead of 60mm. Has anyone managed to get 40mm to fit or do I need to change them? I saw a picture of yours further back Hansfran, is that 40mm or 60mm?
Thanks Obikaii, much appreciated. That pretty much answers my question, I'm not overly worried about a scratch or two, it's the bigger impacts on the downtube I worry about so just a downtube protector is what I need I think.
Cheers for the reply, but I guess my question was more do carbon frames need to be wrapped, I.e. how susceptible to damage from stones flicking up are they? I could get it wrapped but that will mean no riding it for a few days after it arrives (it's arriving much quicker than expected...)
Are people wrapping or putting downtube protection on their bikes generally? I've never owned a carbon framed bike before and am worried about rocks flying up and chipping/cracking it. Or am I worrying about nothing here?
Yes, you can adjust the assistance (at least on my Giant e-bike and I'm sure you can on the Strive).
If the assistance is at max then you can still add more of your own leg power. If you hit the speed limit you can still push through but there will be no motor assistance.
I would go for the...
Ok, I've followed Winryn's lead and Rob's (and everyone else's) advice and ordered an Underdog Strive. Wonder if Rob is getting commission for all these orders... :unsure::LOL:
What swung it for you in the end? I've had both the Strive and the Spectral in my basket about 5 times each then changed my mind! The spectral appeals for the 900wh battery, I often do 6-8 hour rides and to be honest the Strive is more bike than I need. But the spectral chain rubbing on the...
Having not considered a Canyon before because of the direct selling thing, I'm now very tempted by this. My concerns are sizing and motor noise. @M AP , you mentioned you are going from a Reign L to Strive M, have you got your Strive yet? Just wondered how that worked out in terms of sizing...
I would say slightly fitter purely because I go out now when I wouldn’t have before, but to be fair I do other (boring) stuff for pure fitness. I bought my emtb because I’d stopped riding. It rekindled my passion for mtbing but to be completely honest, after the novelty of blasting up trails...
Mine did that once, failed to update then bike wouldn’t even turn on afterwards. I took the battery out for about 6 hours, then when I put it back in it turned on ok. I’ve now disabled updates on my phone now as I don’t trust the app to update (or even use it anymore other than find out battery...
Mine went down to 87% health, but a full charge and full discharge has now got it back up to 93% so I wouldn’t worry too much about that figure (although it would be nice if it was 100%!). I think back along someone even had over 100% battery health!
I went to Afan on Monday with my 2019 Trance e+2 with 500wh hour battery and did W2 with Penhydd mid way plus Blade at the end. According to the trail guide it comes out at 75.6km distance and 1848m climbing, my bike computer made it 51 miles though which is about 4 miles extra, a couple of...
Mine is a 2019 trance Pro 2. I couldn’t get it to update after about 5 attempts so I downloaded and installed the previous v1.4.0.6 apk. I turned off auto-update and it’s working fine now. Not ideal, I don’t like downloading apk’s off the internet like that but I’ve only given it location and...
Cheers all, it doesn't look too watery but I'll just renew it anyway. I put in 120ml when I did it originally, then added another 50-100 when I topped it up. Probably why there is so much left! I'd rather use more and decrease the chances of a puncture anyway.
This is the first time I've run tubeless tyres. Has gone well, been doing it for about a year. Have just replaced my back tyre, it still had a lot of runny sealant in it, which I thought was great. Didn't know what to do with it so just stood the old tyre up and thought it would dry out...
That doesn’t sound right :( Never had split second power shut off/reduce or creaking/crackling on my 2019 Trance. i‘d take it back to the shop if possible. I have had intermittent battery cut outs before and had to use an electrical cleaner on the contacts but then the whole bike switched off...
