    Review 2020 Vitus E=Escarpe VRS E=Escarpe VRS

    I'm near Sevenoaks and normally ride in some local woods (Dibden) that are like a mini Bedgebury but without the manicured red routes. Good fun but without the scale of bedgebury. Having said that I'm discovering new areas all the time. I need to really map out a planned loop whereas I just keep...

    Review 2020 Vitus E=Escarpe VRS E=Escarpe VRS

    Chain device looks OK but i've managed to disconnect the seat post cable by mistake whilst trying to lower it. Is there any trick to reconnecting it? Given how wrecked it looks I may need to install a new cable. When CRC built the bike they destroyed this cable feeding it through the frame. That...

    Cheers for the feedback. If I'm honest I've never had a seat dropper before so wasn't sure quite how to set it up. When I first plugged it right down into the frame it stopped operating so I looked at the markings on the tube and set it at what looked like the min level marking. I was in a hurry...

    The video was very helpful to give a sense of scale. My only doubt looking at it would be the straw unclipping and getting caught in the wheel. Otherwise looks great.

    Thanks, I hadn't thought of that though I wonder whether the water might get a bit warm in a bum bag. Definitely worth a look for the price.

    Thanks a lot , that is a tight fit! Out of interest did you consider any other mounting points?

    Thanks will look in to that one. Not immediately obvious how it attaches?

    Cheers for the explanation and apologies for invading a Giant thread. As you suggested i misread it as the 'great big picture thread' in new posts.

    Noob question on E Tube app and Shimano Steps settings

    Thanks that's really helpful. I'm going to do some more tweaking myself. Trail on medium seems like a solid baseline to build on. Switching to US Market was also a big positive for me. That extra 5mph makes all the difference.

    Review 2020 Vitus E=Escarpe VRS E=Escarpe VRS

    Quick update as I got out for a proper ride today. OMFG ........... this totally changes the game. I haven't had this much fun on a bike ever. I rode about 30k on a combination of cinder track trails, wood descents and ascents and a few stretches on b roads today. I found routes and tracks in...

    I have to ask because I keep hearing this mentioned but have no idea what it means. What is the chain stay length and why does it matter? Thks

    Noob question on E Tube app and Shimano Steps settings

    I think you can check them from the info page in Stunlocker. I took this screenshot but can’t remember whether it was before or after I made some changes.

    Noob question on E Tube app and Shimano Steps settings

    Thanks a lot for this. Further digging and reading has made it clearer. Each mode has an assist value and a torque value, so as you say, High in Boost is very different to High in Eco. I'm not sure why Shimano doesn't make this a bit clearer but maybe I'm just a bit thick. Armed with this info...

    STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

    Great app by the way. In additional to the derestriction it has helped me answer questions about the ETube app that are not immediately obvious.

    Just changed to US settings today and like you suspect this will be perfect for EMTB riding.

    Noob question on E Tube app and Shimano Steps settings

    Apologies for the self bump but I’m still trying to figure this out. Here are the relevant sections in the manual that are confusing me. What’s the benefit of the new Shimano E-TUBE update? The adjustable Eco setting comes with a few benefits for different riding applications. As with Boost...
