I agree with @Bob88, and get rid of the bolts while you are at it, they look awful!!

My Focus Jam2 was e8000 and 12-speed (manual) and I'm pretty sure that it was set up to take a Di2. I don't have anything that says 100% that electronic shifting works with e8000, only stuff that implies it, like this user manual for the display that in the troubleshooting area (p23) says as...

2200 miles issue free. I agree with the thrust of what @Ark is saying.

I need glasses to see clearly more than about 30 feet without squinting. I will not ride without eye protection. Hence prescription Oakley specs. I went for the Straight Jacket style. I use them even with my full-face helmet because I cannot justify the cost of prescription goggles.

Did you used to work for Hope and smuggle a piece out every day in your lunch box? :D

I sure hope that I look this good when I'm 90. :) But I also look like an honest guy, honest! No really, you can trust me! :unsure:

I have no interest in carrying a bloody great chain and bike lock. My Kryptonite New York Noose (12mm chain) stays in the garage where it locks onto the Kryptonite ground anchor via a Kryptonite lock. When out and about, I never leave my bike unattended - not for a second! I also use a...

I have only sold one emtb, the first one I had owned. It was a Focus Jam2 29er, XT kit, carbon frame. The guy (an architect) who bought it wanted it for commuting in London! He told me that he bought the bike because it was from me. He didn't know me, but he told me that he liked all the...

If inflation is that bad, then the returns would have gone up too. And your wages!

@Zimmerframe You are forgetting that technology tends to get relatively cheaper as time passes. The bike companies correct for this by fitting more and more amazing tech (the bastards!)

A salutary lesson for all those that don't look at the numbers first. :eek:

Let the power of compound interest work for you. A typical figure from a financial advisor for long term return would be 6% per annum. Some would say considerably more, but let's be conservative. A single £1000 invested for 6% will be worth (below) after the following years. No further...

The LBS can usually do a good deal with the credit supplier such that a zero % finance deal will cost them only slightly above the bank rate. So right now, that is more than it has been for a while, which means that you might get another 5% off the bike (if the seller has the authority to do...

Same here, no catch, no hassle, no interest! :)

You are a single bloke, living alone. Right? :love:

The only note I have is that it connected the display to the battery. The connection was unmade/made when the cable was stretched or not. I no longer have the bike, since Aug'21.

You can be "drunk in charge" of pretty much anything! Cars, motorbikes, boats, horses, milk floats, children, scooters, so why not an emtb?

I had an intermittent fault like that on my Jam2. It was traced to a cable that had been trapped and slightly squashed when the battery was replaced. In my case the "intermittent" was traced to a specific movement of the bars that stretched the cable in question. Relatively cheap to fix...

Not that you can't do it of course!! :)
