    MEGABOBRA: Bosch Smart System Derestriction for Rim Magnet - DIY Project with Support

    Brilliant thanks. Is it a rim magnet setup though? Or Rotor magnet?

    New Nicolai with Pinion gearbox announced

    What's the thought on derestricting the MGU? It looks like it has a standard magnet pickup on the rotor for a speed reading, but surely the fixed gear ratio between the MGU and the wheel will make it difficult? On a bike with a derailleur you can hide a delay of the reported speed signal (say...

    MEGABOBRA: Bosch Smart System Derestriction for Rim Magnet - DIY Project with Support

    Sorry Swiftier, not any more. If you review my post a few above, you'll see the motor firmware version means it might not work for you I'm afraid.

    Sorry I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't have thought so.

    MEGABOBRA: Bosch Smart System Derestriction for Rim Magnet - DIY Project with Support

    Howdy Robby, Sadly it's not working on later/current Bosch motor firmware. Bosch seem to have tightened requirement of the magnetic field it's looking for meaning the simple electromagnet coil is no longer sufficient. My unit is still running OK after ~1500km now but I'm back on firmware ~5 or...

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    Ouch! Has that started to open up along the seam as well? Perpendicular to the crack?

    Brake pads

    Which ones did you try? I've got a set of the Cooma golds on the way to try out; they seem to get some good feedback, or at least that they're no worse than OEM pads.

    Brake pad contact area on new rotors

    Quick Q for the mechanics: I've installed a new set of 220m HS2 rotors but can see the some uneven pad contact. Photo attached shows that the rear rotor has a strip around the outer edge with no contact and is still shiny/fresh from factory. The existing metallic pads had a light sand and...

    Purion 200 - Worth the Upgrade?

    When I moved from LED remote to Purion in Nov23 there was no need for the dealer, just a resync through the app. Assuming later firmware hasn't changed that? I'm a sucker for watching the figures while riding, so being able to see speed/distance/time etc was a great upgrade over the LED remote...

    Rockshox charger 3.1 upgrade

    I was keen on doing the same until I watched the rockshox video. For me, the risk is too high that I'll get air somewhere it's not meant to be when bleeding it, and it'll end up worse than when I started! Maybe if I treat the Zeb to a 200hr service at a shop, I'll ask that they install the 3.1...

    Are you running rim or rotor magnet in this setup?

    New Nicolai with Pinion gearbox announced

    Could be, but if the car before your swap used helical, surely they're strong enough for a bike? I wonder if it's just a means of reducing cost, whereby the straight cuts are cheaper to produce? Risky though when people are 'a bit' sensitive to motor noise ;) The helical gears do introduce a...

    New Nicolai with Pinion gearbox announced

    Here's a quick look inside the Pinon MGU: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7mQnWuk0drU I wonder why they don't use more helical cut gears (sloped teeth rather than straight cut) inside these? There's one visible in the top right, but the remainder look to be straight. It'd certainly cut down on...

    Not using this method I'm afraid! More recent firmware revisions from Bosch have patched this hole.

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    So IF Pole does come back to life, who's going to be buying a spare set of replacement swing arms preemptively, even if your frame is looking fine?

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    So I know there's been several mentions about the inability to weld 7000 series alloys, ruling out a weld fix for these cracks. But I mean, Nicolai's new Saturn 16 is 7020 and it's all welded together. Google says some 7000's are fine to weld while others are not. Maybe Pole's is fine?

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    Just trying to get some context on these cracks, are they all on the underside of the swing sram?
