I fitted Schwalbe Hans Dampf 27.5x2.8 on the rear and I can confirm that the OEM Assegai 27.5x2.6 had more grip in the mud and on loose gravel.
Next season, I will be mostly wearing Michelin, which are phenomenal on my analogue hard tail… we will see on the FS eMTB
What technique do you use to fit new tyre properly on the rim? I used liquid soap and pump it really hard, but I still have one spot where the tyre has non popped into the rim properly and it is a little buckled.
Out of interest, I am used to narrower front and wider rear tyre on my motorcycles. Especially with higher power and torque.
Why would one put wider in the front and narrower at the back? Downhill perhaps?
Battery type: BT-E8010
Distance: 1780km
Battery cycles: 25
Battery health: 87%
Battery (bike) age: 9 months
Riding style: off-road, mud, gravel, hills.
I ride mostly in ECO mode, which should be easier on the battery and I charge it with OEM charger, I don’t get the fast battery degradation...
A colleague of mine has this setup for his analogue road bike and it works very well.
Having tried to fit my eMTB on my OEM (re-badged Thule) roof-rack... I think it’s madness to drive with +20kg eMTB on the roof. I can install it, but
Tow-bar option is much more sensible. Except Porsche OEM...
I took a ride to Sandbanks today to flatten my battery. Well, after 53km I had 2-bars or 34% left.
I also found what is the Boost setting for - riding on a beach. What a blast!
Thanks for starting this thread Mike D.
I was thinking of the same problem, but I found a diff solution: a Molle hydration pack with modular attachments. Now I can add pouches for spare battery, tools, 2-way radio, dry food and of course wet beverages, ... [emoji41]
All this can be safely...
