    Sign o’the Times?

    I remember an old MBUK article about the Ramblers clarifying the reasons they are against mountain bikes. They object to: 1. Young people 2. Wearing bright colours 3. In the countryside IMHO, over 20 years we're pretty much all friends now. Walkers, horse riders, cyclists, enjoying the...

    Can we have a 'Purion Mini' please Bosch? I'm fine with basic functions. I'm fine with the retro mono LCD styling. Just make it 30% smaller and maybe the option to mount either on or under bar... Pretty please?

    Error code 532

    Quick Google and most code list omit 532! Found one in Spanish. I *think* it says its a problem with the connection between battery and drive unit. The battery must be seated ok, as you're getting power to the Purion display, so maybe something has come loose in the drive unit??

    The blue one looks like a current model Cube... It has the old Bosch CX circle on the motor.

    I think they havent updated the spec sheet. The body text says 'now with mahoosive batteries' [paraphrased]

    Article 2020 Bosch Update: New motors, 625Wh battery and more

    The Focus bikes look great with Bosch 625Wh batteries! But - extra-bonus-news - they have 750Wh batteries pared with Shimano motors! Focus Bikes - JAM²

    The future is eMTB app stores! So you gotta mandate a screen if Bosch are going to sell you apps! (Maybe)

    Article Here is the new 2020 Bosch motor

    Using other suppliers for batteries gives the bike manufacturers choice. But I guess that's not always a good thing. They probably prefer to buy the whole kit from one place, and Bosch may be a better long-term partner to have. Shimano have a good motor, but they're falling behind on being able...

    And my shameful secret: M&S stretch skinny jeans! They're comfy on a bike, don't catch on the chain, and cheap enough to be able to afford trashing a pair every winter.

    MTB Clothing

    100% make mostly garish stuff, but I managed to snag some very discount casual tshirts on CRC that I now wear for everything. I'm getting back in to Howies after a couple of decades break. Icebreaker merino tops too. And I have a few Fox bits too. I like the cut of TLD clothes, but just a...

    MTB Clothing

    It's the *look* I can't cope with. I dont want to look like I bought *all* the gear. But I'm the same with all my clothes. Like, I can't wear a nice suit *and* tie *and* smart shoes. It's just too much.... of *that* look. So on the bike, I've taken to mix n' matching casual clothes with MTB...

    Article Here is the new 2020 Bosch motor

    And, judging by the leaked Focus Jam2 photos that was briefly on the forum, they've also switched at least some models from Shimano to Bosch 2020. I wonder why bike manufacturers are moving from Shimano to Bosch? Size/weight is similar, so it can't be for the physical benefits. It's probably...

    Petition for law change

    As this is a mountain bike forum (not road bike or commuter forum), let's boil this debate down to the list of thing mountain bikers need from an ebike: Question 1: Does a 16mph and nominal 250W limit get you to the top of a hill climb without coughing up a lung? Answer 1: Yes I've run out of...

    Article Here is the new 2020 Bosch motor

    The E8000 is a goo dmotor but it could do with an iteration. Too many weird error codes, fussy about the torque sensor, etc. It's good, but it feels a bit v1.0 right now. A minor refresh based on lessons learned would be great.Bosch have been doing this for ages. The Perf Line CX wasnt perfect...
