    36t chainring recommendation

    I've had this one fitted (36t) for about a hundred miles now. Best mod I've made, keeps you out the 2 smallest cogs at the rear and cheap too!

    2020 Vitus E-Sommet VRS £3399 Flash Sale

    That's some bike for the money. Would need to re-spray it though ?

    Walk Mode

    It would be nice to be able to edit the wall mode power output for emergency use. For instance, I stripped the threads on my crank arm and was left without a pedal for a hefty push back to the trail car park. Is there a way?

    2020 Vitus EMTB!!!!

    I won't be rushing to buy the new charger for 30 minutes advertised faster charging.

    2020 Vitus EMTB!!!!

    Agh okay. It would be nice to see a bigger faster charging battery but I suppose the beauty with the external battery is we can just buy another. Not cheap though!

    2020 Vitus EMTB!!!!

    I see they mention 2 hrs to 80% charging. Is it still the same battery as 2018/2019 model? Do the 2018/2019's charge to 80% in 2 hrs? I can't say I've ever checked it on mine and rarely do I feel the need to go out that soon after a cycle just interested to know if they have improved the...

    Average e-biker age?

    31, MTB for 20+ years, E-MTB for 3 months. Can't see me rushing back. Maybe a full DH for Uplift/gondola use. More miles = more fun

    Cassette Chain Wear

    It appears the M7000 is interchangeable with the M8000 from 11t - 19t sprockets. I can't seem to find M700 sprockets so good to know. Edit: It's the exact same sprockets used on the 11-19t on the SLX as the XT hence why they are interchangeable. It proves Gary's point about it not being worth...

    Cassette Chain Wear

    Interesting... Didn't realise you could buy individual sprockets. Thanks! I'll buy an 11 and 13 and fit them to the original cassette as a spare. I've already ordered a spare chain.

    Cassette Chain Wear

    It wasn't bad. I had a fucking amazing day. I just wouldn't do it again on the E-Sommet. Got there at just before mid day as had to drop the kids to school before I set off. Top chief was very good. First run was nice, the sun was out and I got the chance to take it all in. The weather changed...

    Cassette Chain Wear

    Right I'll look in to a 36t front ring. Again thanks for the good info. The cost of a new cassette and chain every 300 miles will also encourage me to learn to spin faster and use a lower gear I'm sure?. You're lucky having all them trails on your doorstep. Had to travel 2.5 hours yesterday...

    Cassette Chain Wear

    Thanks Steve. The front looks fine. I'll be sure to look after the drivetrain a bit better but I fear it's the abuse I give it on the trails that's causing it. I use the top 2 gears coming down my local trails 99% of the time and have assistance between 130% and 300%. I should probably shift...

    Cassette Chain Wear

    Right spot on. 11-40 and the Sram chain it is.

    Cassette Chain Wear

    I've currently got a 34t up front but I feel the bike lacks a bit at top end. Could I squeeze a 38t in at the front? Pic below. Looks tight.

    Cassette Chain Wear

    Thanks for the good info. Yeah the bottom 2 cogs look pretty chewed up. I probably don't look after the drive train as well as I should although I do lift off when changing gears. I was going to upgrade to 11-46 XT as it's SLX 11-48 that's on the '19 E-Sommet VR. It's only a few quid more for 2...

    Successful warranty claims after de-restricting

    I can confirm downgrade got rid of the error codes but I went the full hog, purchased the license and ditched the speedbox. Thanks!

    Cassette Chain Wear

    Yesterday my chain started slipping on the smallest cog at the back. I hadn't even checked for chain wear as I've only done 320 miles from new. Forgive my ignorance but is this not a bit premature? It's my first E-bike so very little experience. I would of expected some accelerated wear due to...

    E bike not allowed!!!

    Login to the website there's an option on there. Don't think it can be done through app.

    Successful warranty claims after de-restricting

    I assume the downgrade solved the problem? Thanks for the help! I'll try when I'm home in a couple weeks
