I don't know for certain, but the ep6 is probably the same basic design as the ep8. If that is the case, then the internals will have the same "problems". The ep8 was a lot lighter than its e8000 predecessor, had more torque and reduced internal friction. The consequence of the design to...

@ETDB Welcome to the Forum. :) If I were you, I would delete your post and deny all knowledge of your "problem". Proceed as normal and enjoy your bike. Assuming that you had a claim that depended upon the existence of your "problem", your insurers would have to prove that you knew about it. As...

It's a while since I had a Focus; does it still have those vents the top of the down tube? If so, you can use those to gain access to the frame.

I will be having at least one tonight!

@renais All that dry brushing should play havoc with your paint finish. Are you wrapped? If not, then some of that Silicone Spray should work miracles! (See post #12)

What chains do you buy, and how many miles in what terrain? That does seem to be excessive rate of wear. Even riding on sandy soil that is very wet in the wet season (like grinding paste) I still got an average of 550 miles. PS: I used to buy the cheapest chains I could find that were...

@as123 There are some great ideas for resolution in this thread. Do none of them work? :unsure:

Ref wet feet: The problem with all waterproof boots, shoes and socks is that they all have a bloody great hole at the top! Fix that and the problem is solved. Sealskinz had a go at it with their "Hydrastop" three rubbery bands around the inside of the sock at the top. Great idea and it works...

If you read the instructions that may have come with the bike, it will give you the operating and storage conditions. They are probably +40dgC to -5degC. I can't recall accurately, but for sure I would not like my battery to go below freezing. So, if you believe that your barn may drop below...

One of my friends used to be a van salesman for one of the big-name manufacturers. He told me once of a small business man who was ready to pay cash for his brand-new van. The guy owned his own business and didn't believe in debt etc. My mate told him that once you've paid out that £40k, its...

You can play the banks and credit card companies at their own game. As per usual for all finance deals, read the terms and conditions!! Be aware of the interest charges and how they are applied. Keep up with the payments. Or set aside the money that you need to pay off and at the right time...

We've all done it in the beginning. :giggle:

Bike choice is key to enjoyment.

I was in France again a fortnight ago and I rode another Kelly's. It seems to be the same one as was in the original post in this thread, even the same colour. The fork had 32mm stanchions, but didn't feel too flexy. I didn't like the Panasonic motor, it was on/off in all modes except Auto and...

Stable door and all that, but register your bike with The National Property Register, for Phones, Gadgets, Bicycles & More... Its free! Immobilise.com allows you to register a pic of your bike and all of its important details like frame numbers that you can't see once the bike has been...

On mtbs, I used to average 550 miles on 8-speed, 9-speed and 10-speed. I used to buy the cheapest chains I could find. They never lasted any longer than the originnal equipment. Then I bought a 12-speed bike with a Sram Eagle transmission. The chain was XX1 on a XG 1295v cassette and a SRAM...

Google Translate works very well, put in your phone/laptop. Works on many, many languages. https://www.google.com/search?q=google+translate&oq=google+translate&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3j0i67i433j0i131i433j69i60j69i65.9272j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

It may just be that the frame is 2022, but the rest of the bike is as described. Were there any design changes to the frames 22 vs 24? You are well advised to get the story (in writing for preference) for when it comes time to sell your bike. The dealer should get the full story from Speccy for...

It's the only way that I would try a triple black route. I didn't know they even existed, but I can imagine. Where do they rank vs a black diamond?
