    Performance CX - delay when starting to pedal?

    Error Code 504

    I had it on my Rail when it was running the 1.0.2.0 version of the firmware and my bike shop made it go away by updating to 1.0.3.0 as this was a known fault of giving a false positive for motor tampering/hacking/derestricting (504 error).

    Alternative Purion Mount?

    I think I have found part of what I am looking for with the light mount linked below. Just need to machine up a 22.2 mm diameter piece to screw on to it to mount the Purion on. https://www.glowormlites.co.nz/product/gloworm-carbon-nylon-qr-bar-mount/

    Alternative Purion Mount?

    Found this which looks quite nice but again not in 35mm https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32703749158.html?spm=2114.12057483.0.0.5d944ff0Qw8fRV

    Alternative Purion Mount?

    I just stick it in EMTB mode and ride for 95% of the time. The only time I'll be dialing the power back will be on flat, easy trails where taking a hand off is not a problem.

    Alternative Purion Mount?

    That's exactly what I have been looking for to mount my Purion on my Rail but need it in 35mm clamp size which seem all but impossible to find.

    commencal 2021

    To what though? Bosch has the same issue, Specialized are not exactly known for their reliability, Yamaha have water ingress issues. What am I missing? Brose (non-Specialized variants), Rocky Mountain?

    Which Brand of Pads?

    They do look good and pricing is excellent as well. Lots of pad options to choose from.

    Which Brand of Pads?

    I'm liking the Trickstuff Power pads right now. Pricing is pretty good too. About EUR19 per pair including VAT online.

    Struggling to choose!

    The review below is what sold me on the Rail. I think it is fair and honest after having six months on mine. https://theloamwolf.com/2020/03/04/emtb-roundup-trek-rail-9-9-review/
