290 or 243?

They are about 2mm taller - I need to check clearance...

So I've done a little research on replacement M5 screws for Gen 1-3 Bosch motors. The originals are black M5 x 16mm flanged security head (T25 5-pt pentalobe). The 11mm flange is not serrated. The head is ~3mm tall. They don't appear to be thread-forming as the tip isn't blunt-tapered, (even so...

So, jumping, gearing and washing bikes destroys motors.. Remind me why we are buying these overpriced fragile electric toys again?

Are the mounting plate screws on your Gen4 the same as the ones in the pics? (5-point security bit M5 thread). Apparently Bosch have upgraded them to std Torx M6, if the other thread is correct..

I checked mine before going on a week long riding trip last month. Will likely check them again in a month or so. Be good to find some stronger M5 screws…

Why didn’t you do it yourself once you realised what the cause was??? Takes about 10min

Modified how? Any pics or evidence?

Get the softest compound you can find. schwalbe ultrasoft or maxxis maxxgrip etc

Are you guys running inserts in your EC's?

Good looking tread. 2.6 SG Soft?

Perfect in the loose dry stuff. If it suffers anywhere; it’s on hard-pack where it can squirm a bit. It’s a trade off.

I’ve been a Maxxis DHF fanboi for years on MTBs, but wanted something with more volume (to protect the rim) and bigger lugs (traction is more of an issue on steeps) for the ebike. Been running a MM 2.6 SG Soft up front and BB 2.4 DH Ultrasoft rear for a month. Spent a week in Rotorua and...

Nice to know it worked - I've got a set of tools from them for my Rail. How did you size the puller? Just by measuring the stuck race and ordering the closest size? I guess it's not a terribly useful tool for you now, unless it happens again..

Thanks A06. I’ve caused wobble in tyre casings from landing sideways and damaging the casing, presumably tearing threads. Was the wobble you had similar (deformed casing from using levers) or just difficulties getting the tyre mounted evenly with Cushcore? What sort of pressures are you running...

That’s a good call. Will try that next round.

Yep - I’ll likely pick up one of these, as well as the Bead Bro.. https://cushcore.com/product/bead-bro/

So I had to use levers to fit a DH casing Big Betty with an ARD insert and nicked the Nukeproof tape. Next time I’ll prob use a lighter casing to try and avoid using levers. Interested in what tape others find most robust when having to wrestle a tyre and insert?

Heating the race will have the opposite effect. If anything I’d use a can of spray freeze to make it contract.
