I’d have thought Nicolai would have been a natural partner

That's what bothers me about the MGU. Crankshaft bearings are a wear item, and when worn become the main conduit for water ingress to the motor...

I’m thinking a modular approach might alleviate cost/reliability concerns about a unit construction, much like Triumph pre-unit engines were designed. Gearboxes are likely to be more reliable than motors, so why not make the motor a replaceable component with a backplane

No need to replace all the seals if you do the basic maintenance regularly (6-12 months) - the seals will last much longer. Buy some oils and Slickoleum and spend an hour servicing your suspension. Feels so much better for it and oil doesn't cost much. It's not rocket surgery.

X2 is a terrible shock. They seem to have excessive sag no matter how high the pressure

25kg of metal and lithium falling on your head? Have at it and report back!

Having been running events for 17yrs; I can totally understand the organisers rationale. XC races, esp short course events typically don’t have a plethora of passing opportunities and emtb will always have a significant uphill speed advantage. The two codes do not mix well in my experience. We...

You can get grade 12.9 alloy steel flanged cap screws, optionally with serrated flanges for extra grip. https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/you-may-want-to-watch-this-trekrail.33725/page-2

Two broken screws Stihldog? I'd start with the smallest EZE-Out; can always go bigger. What screws are you going to replace them with?

And now everyone is confused

Which are not being discussed in this thread...

Which fasteners are you referring to? The motor bracket screws are not torx plus; they are 5pt pentalobe security bit size 25.

Nukeproof ISCG05 works great.

It’s a better result than the Trek examples for sure, but a destroyed derailleur from a branch isn’t a great result. The old bendy hanger may well have preserved your mech. What’s an AXS mech worth these days?

Pretty iconic track. Off limits to e-bikes unfortunately.

Downside of the aluminium dinner plate..

Did you take your ebike on Paparoa?

I'm surprised that the after-market repair industry hasn't developed a bearing overhaul for Shimano motors, or is that their motors are mostly failing prematurely with other electronic issues, before the bearings need replacing? As far as I know Bosch PCB assemblies and motor parts as also not...

Good job - looks like there is sufficient material for that. Are the holes blind or did you dump a pile of swarf into the motor?

Water ingress is what you’re dealing with. Egress would refer to water coming out of the battery compartment. (Sorry, I was bored and wanted to show off my stunning intelligence)
