When 1/10th’s matter they probably do make a difference. Especially at the speeds they travel at they want the bike to alwyas go the same direction they do. And they accept the downsides of more difficulty unclipping.
I don’t ride at that level so those incremental gains mean less than the ease...
Highly. Now my pedal of choice on all my bikes.
If choosing Magpeds then definitely go for the stronger magnet. I have also changed my shoe plates to the optional extra sticky ones and there’s an improvement in magnetic power. You can also get plastic locators (for the gravel pedals but usable...
Oh! And also 11 spd and 12 spd Shimano use different hubs for their cassettes. So you'll also need to add in a new driver body, if the wheel allows it.

The links are different widths. You'd need to change out the cage and pulleys. Not sure if the Shimano 11 speed pulleys are interchangeable with 12spd. Once you add the cost of that and a new shifter is it really worth the faff? You can get a 46 in a 12 speed if you don't like the big ring...
I think if you compete then you'll look for any advantage but for me, probably not. Kind of like I don't have huge 6 pot brakes on my mini.
The problem will be for the pros that if it's not available to everyone it'll be banned from competition as well, making this a hard commercial choice for...
Rode clips on the road for decades. Fell over on an MTB on slow hairpin turns. Lots of laughter from the gallery. But liked being attached to the bike on the way down a hill.
Got flats and many holes in my shins, although I did get better in the end. Never liked the way my feet would bounce...
You'll need to swap the cassette, mech and shifter to go 11 speed. Just put a Deore or SLX 12 speed on there. Only major difference is a bit of weight.
Gordon
Can you reach the smallest cog? I would assume not if you can shift over the back of the cassette.....
If the above is true you just need to micro adjust the mech down the cassette. Hold the little button under the controller and push the upper switch, which will move the shifting down the...
I do a full M check every dozen rides and a quick inspection when I wash the bike. Stuff still comes loose (I didn't retighten my seat properly after adjusting it.) but it's less often and almost alway user error..

I've had my Cairn 01 e-Gravel for a couple of years now. Great bike. Great company to deal with. It's replaced my road bike as well as some light gravel duties.
Gordon
Which is not what this bike is. Not what it pretends to be. Not one of the claims it makes.
So why are you in this thread going on about a bike that is EXACTLY the bike not suited to you instead of on the Rotwild R.X375 thread or something similar?
There could have been a couple of post like...
You can EASILY find a watch or a handbag that costs as much as a supercar. It should be of little surprise that a bike can cost as much as a Suzuki or a Kia.

Not just Forestal. I haven't had an ebike weigh what the manufacturer claims, ever. Merida, LaPierre, Specialized or Forestal. My Siryon is 600 grams heavier than listed out of the box with no component upgrades.
My diode level bike is the most expensive bike I've ever bought, by some margin...
Pretty much... My Expert Carbon's third motor is OK. And about the same as my Pro which turned up after a 10 month wait. Neither is silent under load but neither is louder than an EP8. That'll do me.
