    Rob Warner's dream build

    Run mine on the right as well, it's also a left hand shifter fitted upside down, fits with the other controls better. So down button goes up an assist level, haven't bothered to reprogram it as I like to think of it as a sequential gearbox. Also pisses my mates off when they ride my bike, double...

    Roof rack transportation options

    I have the Yakima whispbars and use them with Thule 598s. Clamps the down tube OK on my E-Sommet although sits a bit close to the terminals. Not had any problems but don't feel all that solid and are a pain in the arse to slide in from the sides. The Yakima rack does look better, believe they...

    Show us your Vitus!

    Got bored of all the purple bits on mine so have toned it down again. Might get some colour matched fork graphics but not sure. Slik not answering emails and have jacked their prices up. Looking at Ride graphics, much better prices! Anyone used them?

    CRC/Wiggle Customer Service issues Vitus specific - please post up problems you have had here

    Good luck with CRC. They offered me £30 as a goodwill gesture, when I got the final bill (45 for the pointless firmware update that Madison insisted on and then 75 for the subsequent work) I went them the receipts for 120, they offered 75 and I took it. At least I'm riding again, christ alive...

    Article Testing the new Shimano EP8 motor

    For what it's worth just picked up my Vitus from the shop with a new E8000 fitted, Madison UK got a delivery last week. As I said I'm quite relieved it's not an EP8! Was told it should have a new 2 year warranty but not got that in writing, think I'll drop Madison an email and ask them to confirm

    Article Testing the new Shimano EP8 motor

    Not really the great leap forward I'd been hoping for. The rattling, anti tamper software and still lacking bearing serviceability all negatives for me. Picking up my E-Sommet with new motor under warranty tomorrow, had been hoping it would be an EP8 but not bothered now!

    I had the call from the LBS today to say my bike is ready collect with the new motor fitted. Finally! Props to Wildside in Tunbridge Wells, been a lot of grief over a bike I didn't buy from them and they are charging me a very fair price. Next will be the discussion with CRC over them paying for...

    Waiting for shimano motor to be delivered

    I got the call from the LBS today to say replacement motor has arrived and bike ready to collect (been in the shop nearly 2 months). He didn't say it was an EP8 and I didn't ask as it allows me to dream a little longer, very much doubt it is though

    CRC/Wiggle Customer Service issues Vitus specific - please post up problems you have had here

    I had a call from the shop on Tuesday to say that Madison have just got motors back in stock so hopefully I'll have it back next week. Been in the shop since July 6th, started the warranty claim late March..... Would I buy another ebike from CRC now? Nope! Very much avoiding using them at all...

    What size cranks is every one using?

    I have the 165 Shimanos and they're good, ideally I'd like a 160 version though, not so much for DH trails where you have enough momentum to time pedal strokes but more for tech flat and uphill trails. Shame Shimano don't do a 160 and I'm not sure I trust Mirandas either. Also the name of that...

    CRC/Wiggle Customer Service issues Vitus specific - please post up problems you have had here

    Really don't think it's that R120 but will double check. Still riding it but it's faulting more and more, however it often does first half of a ride no problem but once it's faulted the first time it's game over and it keeps doing it so have to limp home. Also lying it on it's side with weight...

    CRC/Wiggle Customer Service issues Vitus specific - please post up problems you have had here

    My tale of woe continues - asked Wildside if I could just drop the motor as I was installing a new dropper anyway and they said OK, two weeks later I had a call to say Madison want them to run diagnostics so another 100 mile round trip to collect it then rebuild, another 100 miles. Two weeks...

    E-sommet is fantastic

    You make a very valid point regarding upgrades. I've still upgraded nearly everything though!

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    If I do fancy riding around the woods with a massive dildo I'll be sure to give you a shout Gary. Lolz, etc.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Well I've ridden them and I like them. It is possible for things to be flexible by design and strong y'know

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Yeah mounted mine with a longer screw but due to the shape of the bars the display is in contact with the bar so though I'd try the proper clamp

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293271388220 Only other place I found was SJS but with postage that was £13.50 Hope it fits as the Oneups aren't round at that point
