Bit of an update on this. CRC replaced my motor for this however they did not comment on the reason for the failure.
Two more of my riding buddies on E8000 motors have had the same W013/E010 problem with their bikes which are now on their way back to Wiggle and CRC. One failed at 500 miles the...
Recently got a new motor in my Sommet VR after the W013/E010 saga.
Have done about 150 miles on it now and it has begun "chirping" when on the pedals.
Sounds just like birds chirping away, actually thought that was what it was at first!
Anyone else with Shimano power had the same?
My original E-8010 battery is a bit over a year old and well used. I got a newish spare second hand and can see now when comparing them that the original battery is well past its' best. I would guestimate that it lasts about 60% of the duration of the new battery for equivalent use.
I had the W013 error come up on mine mid ride quickly followed by a full screen E010
I did everything I could in the way of terminal cleaning and resetting but that motor never started again. CRC replaced the motor and I'm cooking on gas again.
After a slow start CRC warranty came through...
For reference/comparison, the Ohlins 525lb spring has an OD of 53mm. Also, If available, I would expect an equivalent titanium spring to be a little thinner.
The lever activates the mech clutch which helps to keep the drive chain tensioned. This is quite important on an mtb. It's operating position is "on" which is flat on the mech.
You need to release the chain tension to remove your rear wheel. This is done by lifting the grey lever to position...
Was there first thing this morning. The bikes were busy but it was ok; about an hour seemed the norm for the Decoy queue and there were plenty of their regular bikes too. I did a loop on the 29 Capra after trying the Decoy.
I'm using my '14 Capra daily just now as my Sommet is back with CRC...
Hi, I'm 5.10".
I normally ride size large bike.
My current (e) bike is a sommet vr size large.
Today I rented a Merida 160 600 size large and it felt quite a bit smaller than the sommet, mainly due to what I felt was a shorter reach.
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be comfortable on a medium, not...
Recently my sommet vr threw up W013 while pedalling on a ride. Almost immediately it turned to full screen E010 as above. No amount of clearing or on/off switching would remove the E010. The bike is in process of going back to CRC for investigation. I talked to some Focus reps at a recent demo...
