I rode an e8000 when I first discovered Shimano's attitude to Customer Service when it comes to motors. It was an unpleasant surprise to me because I had never had problems with Shimano in that respect, quite the reverse in fact, as I had only ever had really good service! I was so surprised...

Welcome to the Forum! :) Remember to measure your sit bones and get a saddle to suit. It matters. It is several decades so you may have forgotten, but you really need padded undershorts under your trousers/shorts that you ride for biking. You can spend a fortune on the latest chamois fitted...

This sort of model? Sign me up!

That's an expensive garage!

I can see why you have worked out a diagonal. But TBH I believe that approach is flawed. To take an extreme case I could give you half a dozen combinations of Reach and Stack all with the same diagonal, but with radically different values of R&S. In the real world of course, the values of R&S do...

I would go with what feels best, irrespective of what you think it "ought" to be. Try changing it and riding it, rinse and repeat until you find something better or give up and put it back to where you started. I consider bar orientation to be one of the things I can change to tune my bike for...

Here we go again! 62 is NOT old FFS! Welcome to the Forum, you will get your perceptions remapped on here. :)

Oh No! He's back! :)

@Mikerb I agree with your assessment of the Assegai as a front tyre. I too like DHR II tyres, used them for years in various guises. But my new best friend for rear tyres is the WTB Trail Boss. Read this...

Just rich enough to be able to afford one, or to have a relative who can buy you one or give you their old one. My 15-year-old grandson is perfectly fit enough not to need an emtb and has little difficulty in keeping up with me (except on the climbs of course). But boy does he love riding my...

Probably less mongrel than a typical Brit then! :ROFLMAO:

I'm sure that there must be an "average" or "typical" rider around which bikes are designed, but I'm not average at all. My legs are too short for my body despite me being 6'1". I look normal, but feed my measurements into a bike selection gizmo and it might very well come out with "we don't...

There was no need for an explanation, I accept that you prefer it. :) As for disc vs disk, that is down to the general lack of spelling ability amongst you guys in the colonies. There are many examples, colour vs color, humour vs humor.... there are loads and loads of examples. I put it down to...

That's an inspiring story jj. I sure hope that is exactly how I would handle any similar misfortune that may strike me, with a positive mindset and 100% determination. Admiration and healing vibes from me! :love: I have only one small recommendation: that you invest in an exercise bike. I mean...

In my opinion (no survey carried out) they look awful and are for people that cannot reliably set up their shifting (another opinion). I have never had a chain drop down between the cassette and the spokes, NEVER! You do not need to remove the cassette to remove your dork disk, I use a pair of...

There are other sealants than just Stans, although I do accept that they have become the "Biro" and "Hoover" of the sealant industry. Good marketing! :) With non-latex Puncture Guard sealant (defunct now, sadly) I had over two dozen punctures in one tyre and over 20 in the other, but no flats...

It's a bike in a dirty mac! :eek:

@SwampNut Please get rid of the plastic saucer behind your cassette!!!

Yes I did, beautiful bike and I was sorry to see it go. But I never had that sort of problem, not exactly. The closest I could get to it that might explain the problem for the OP depends upon where and when he was charging his TEC pack. It was Feb'19, 6-7 weeks after getting my new bike. The...

Never done this nor met anyone that has, but someone did it on here. Relocate the magnet and sensor from your wheel to your crank arm. The cranks revolve more slowly than the wheel, so the bike thinks you are going more slowly than you really are, hence the assistance stays on. This will wear...
