All the Bafang mid motors I have had apart had a pitiful amount of lithium grease inside the gear case. I have found that John Deere Cornhead grease works really well. I have an M620 that is notoriously loud in stock form but after splitting the case and removing the little bit of factory grease...

Needs some safety glasses as well.

Also check to see that the chain is the proper length? The one that was on it could have been wrong. Plenty of YT vids on that procedure. You don't indicate which gears are skipping but I assume it is the higher cogs? Usually occurs when the system is at its slackest I've found? It helps to...

Get a Bafang M620 bike with the 52v controller @ 30A. I don't see a need for any 3000w type controller as it would just be harder on the drivetrain and battery range. Plenty fast, I was riding with my Class 1 buddy today and it was no contest on the hills and I have 20 yrs on him. On the flats...

Get a new one and keep your old one for a loner/backup until someone comes along willing to give you a fair price for it. N+1!

I'm in it for the speed.

I had an issue with my GCN+ login that prevented sound after the Juniors ran on Friday. So I just watched without the talking heads and quite frankly enjoyed that experience. So cool that Rachel won on her comeback. Rad Mom alert! I wonder if she will do more now as it sounded the other day...

"I remember hearing an interview with Warner years ago where he spoke about being trained in the craft of commentary early on in his time with Redbull. It's a bit of an art form." Problem is that Rob set a pretty high bar. I already am sick of "free speed"......

So far I am giving GCN+/Discovery an F for coverage. First off there is no sound coming through here in Oregon at least....I watched the juniors on the GMBN YT channel with sound. Second is the camera placement and picture clarity is off? Looks like they have sprayed hair spray on their...

Looks like a piss fir. Bjarne Butler is one of my favorite YT channels. Not sure why I really like old growth trees so much and live near a bunch in fact including the largest Sitka Spruce in the OR in their natural living state and get a kick out of seeing him throw his Husky around like it's...

if that is an EU compliant bike he probably didn't make it. But seriously the Unbound Gravel event was won at an average speed of a little over 20mph for 200 miles on push bikes. Really makes my attempts at riding fast on my eBike feel insignificant.....I could probably outrun a bear though.

I also watch road and CX as well so the GCN+ programming covers all the bases. I also maintain a FLO Bikes account but it really only provides CX content that I watch and it is spendy but I do it anyway. Also pay $4.95/mo. for a Peacock access as they have some road coverage, especially the...

We have one of those and plenty of batteries from our Milwaukee collection. Super handy trail tool for sure. Short bars do run the chain faster for sure. When we used to cut pecker poles bitd we'd only use 16" bars. The trees weren't that big and chainspeed was the hot ticket for limbing...

The other day I came across about a 5" dia. spruce blow down on one of our trails. I always carry a folding saw and thought no problem I'll just get it out and have it gone. Well as we have been using mainly our battery powered chainsaws for trail work I guess I hadn't used it for awhile and I...

If you can run a battery diagnostics on it and it checks out as well as if the bike doesn't look beat on it would more than likely suit your needs? Hopefully you can get to take it for a test ride. Bosch dealers have the ability to bring up any issues that the motor might have also via their...

Getting some trail time in with the D1x and all is working as advertised. After the shakedown ride I went back to the App and made some fine adjustments in the stand because shifting under load is enough different in some of the cogs but I was able to get it right the second time. Got more in...

I've also heard it referred to as an "Irish Banjo" over here.

After digging my outside 170mm crank arm into the dirt on a corner that was totally unexpected and dropped me like a hot rock I have gone to 155mm Miranda's and never had it happen again. Doesn't do much for unassisted pedaling but works fine as long as the power is on and you can keep a high...

Do you know of any other way to electronic shifting that adapts to any bike with any amount of speeds using your existing components that works well and is cheaper? Please share.

Product Image: Product name: Archer D1X (Gen 2) Price paid: $429usd Score (out of 10): 8 Review: I have been holding off on electronic shifting as it was too spendy for the way my M620 bike goes through cassettes and chains and well I'm cheap so there is that. But the introduction...
