    Any way to check the health of a Bosch battery without the app?

    My bike has the Purion display which has next to zero info about anything and no supporting app. Bought the bike used so would be handy if I could check the battery health.

    What stupid thing did you do with your bike this week?

    I did an endo while riding along a lane next to my Wife on her Horse, I forgot for a brief second that Horse probably wouldn't like a sudden noise and some weird movements from the bike. He got spooked but no harm was done. I see a lot of horses on the trails and while most of them are used to...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Pedro's tyre levers (the best) and a spare inner tube. Both of which fit perfectly in my Kriega hydration pack along with a few other things. Oh and a Bosch motor cap cover because mine fell off, I'll be sticking it on with some nice strong loquid gasket rubber that I found in the garage. I...

    Fitness and power modes?

    From what I've learned riding my emtb is that to utilize the higher powered modes you need to have a faster cadence which seems to get my heart rate up and when in ECO it's more about a lower cadence and more leg muscle which gives me a lower heart rate. If I stick it in Turbo and pedal like mad...

    2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 750 SL Review

    I did order a slightly longer stem but sent it because the bars and saddle alone did the trick.

    2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 750 SL Review

    I had to change the saddle right away on my 2020 Stereo. Got the Ergon SMC Sport Gel saddle and its way way better, it also moved slightly further back than the stock on so that along with rider bars and that sorted the reach issue out for me.

    2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 750 SL Review

    I have the 2020 version and didn't notice the noise until watching the video about the 2022 version 🤔😭 Whilst tuned into noises on today's ride I've also now noticed a clicking from the front, could be headset or forks, not sure yet so that will need investigation, seems to happen when the...

    Brake safe cleaning products?

    Fair play. I'm far to scared to put dish soap near my brake pads 🤣

    Sizing

    Well like I said I'm 5'8" and Cube recommend a Medium, the height was fine but I was sat off the back of the saddle just a tiny bit but just a couple of tiny changes sorted it for me. Definitely take some Allen keys with you because if you find the same you can make sure the saddle is back as...

    Half decent cheap (ish) car bike rack? (UK)

    Just realized that this bike rack isn't suitable for cars with spoilers, both mine and my Wife's cars have stock small roof spoilers. Anyone managed to mod a bike rack to suit spoilers or come up with a workaround?

    Brake safe cleaning products?

    Thanks but for reference I was wondering what products to use to clean the rest of the bike, something wouldn't matter if it got on the pads and rotors.

    What brand degreaser do you use? I need something that isn't a spray then.

    1st Weekend Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 TM 2021

    Haha yes I figured, just wondered how best to make sure I don't accidentally get anything near the brakes, maybe I just need to be super careful.

    Brake safe cleaning products?

    As well as my ebike I ride an Inspired Fourplay with Magura MT7's which you only have to breathe on (slight exaggeration) in order to contaminate the pads and rotors and as the style of riding that that bike sees doesn't generate any heat in the pads and rotors contamination is always only fixed...

    I need to degrease mine, are you removing discs and rotors when you degrease and clean or covering them up or what?

    Sizing

    5'8" (174cm) here and I just bought a 2020 Hybrid 160 SL Medium, as standard I found I was sat off the back of the saddle slightly so bought a new slightly longer saddle (Ergon SMC Sport Gel) and some new handlebars (Nukeproof 35mm rise), slid the saddle as far back as it would go and tilted the...

    Half decent cheap (ish) car bike rack? (UK)

    I need a bike rack for the back of my Wife's car that is suitable for a hatchback (no tow bar) and can handle an e-MTB, I'll on take the battery out to get the weight down but the bike is still heavier than a normal MTB even without battery. I don't mind spending about £150 but not too keen on...
