Just chucking it out there…does anyone have a 3D print file for something similar to this, I’d happily buy one. But the cost from the States is mind blowing and I have a friend with a decent 3d printer

Thanks. it will be fun trying to find it I’m sure, good reason to understand how the bike works in more detail. It’s my first ebike after being completely ‘anti’ for many years. The rattle caught me off guard a little after years of high end manual bikes, which were all absolutely silent...

The clutch will only elimate the chainslap in a traditional sense, it’s the chains proximity to the upper chainstay when in higher gears….I have been riding for many many years, so completely aware of how clutch systems work. Hence why I don’t think it’s traditional chain slap….There is a form...

Well no it doesn’t do it on climbs, but then you would never be moving at the same velocity over rough ground uphill. Like I said I think it’s chainslap, the chain sits very close to the chainstay in the higher gears. It also makes the noise with the motor off. I’m not saying it’s not the...

I did yes thanks, but also read that you have a Shimano motor…not the Bosch as I. Before I just put it down to a ‘feature’ of the motor I’m going to explore all the usual avenues. My buddies Bosch doesn’t make the ‘same’ sound. I got a couple of no cost things to try. I’m also going to do...

Paul, ceris2 nearly killed me twice! Found it more savage than Rocknrolla or whatever you called it! By the way mate Jamie Whitmarsh and I are now on ebikes…he bought a Specialized and had his first ride out last weekend on it. Think Ard Rock was one of the final nails in the coffin for us...

Yeah that’s the one, last time I rode it a few month back now the entry was so much easier. Which is a shame but just what happens to natural trails once people find out about them. It’s a bloody old trail that now.

It’s a piece of piss now, years ago before it was heavily ridden the drop in was much more pronounced, there was also a steeper line to the left of it as you ride in. Even so first time down it now I suspect it’s great.

Shame the lip at Ceries has eroded to nothing now. ..also amazing how the camera makes it look so sedate.

So after giving my rail a proper shake down again this weekend, I can confirm it’s proper rattle central. To the point I pulled up twice on one trail at BPW as I thought something must be seriously lose. Whilst it’s annoying it’s not the end of the world, years ago I used to ride Orange 5’s...

First ride with the Zebs and proper tyres. In an laggy FoD. Bike went well. Snapped a chain thanks to a failed quick link, but other wise all good. Bike is so composed in the air. Still haven’t swapped my brakes out and actually the Tektro brakes are working blooming well now bedded in...

Oh joy of joys!!! I better order a new hose and get cracking then. Thanks Rob

Sorry to bring an old thread up. Has anyone managed to route the rear hose through the frame without dropping the motor? I have some XT8120’s to fit. Plan was to try and chase the hose through using the old reverb hose joiner barb with a section of old hose. Understanding I’ll need to loosen...

Well it’s even less environmentally friendly replacing them straight away!! I would also say riding an eBike is not really ticking the green box! Like I said I’m one ride in, but I don’t think the 5 wheels look crap. They seem decent enough for OE supplied kit. They set up tubeless easily with...

The components on the 7 may be better, but frankly…they are still rubbish and would be low end on a manual bike. Hence I never saw the value in paying more for the same shit I’d remove and sell for peanuts. Wheels are on my shopping list in the future. Im only one ride in! So will be working...

I just bought a 5 because I didn’t see value in the 7 vs the spec. 35’s seem to sell for around £250 if new. I just fitted a new pair of Zeb Ultimates I got a deal on. So I’m still quids in, I have brakes ready to go on from my old bike and I’m going to upgrade the groupset as it dies. I...

Zebs fitted, new tyres on! Just got to gather the courage to fit my XT brakes!!! Getting there

I’ve never demo ridden a bike I have ordered. Mainly because it’s never really been possible, because sometimes your expected to leave a deposit (you’ll get back if your order) and finally because demo bikes and loops never really replicate my typical riding. I do however know what I like...

That’s brilliant! Thanks for sharing! I’ll work on removing my lock over the coming weeks I think. I just simply have no use for it. The fibre glass cover is interesting as well. My rail 5 is the 2 tone purple so painting would be potentially disastrous

Hi, Just wondering if there was any further feedback around this? It looks a simple neat solution. I have no need for the lock so losing weight and a adding safety is a positive for me. Thanks
