What formulas are you using versus temperature?

Do you use a solvent in the ultrasonic cleaner? I’ve been using diluted carburettor cleaner. It works well, but would like to find something less toxic and more environmentally friendly

Just put on my third cassette at 8500kms So around 4000kms per cassette. So far been changing chains every 700kms. Just started hot waxing, but too soon to see any longevity impact. Still on my first chainring Bosch Gen 4 SRAM chain ring, but much bigger than yours. Chainring doesn’t look the...

Sound like you could almost run single speed?

Watching with interest. Also started hot waxing few weeks back with secret chain wax. So far so good. last year I had anNX chain that broke in exactly the same manner as your chain from the first photo after only 100 miles. I thought it was because I’d dropped down from GX, but seeing your...

Sorry that last question was for Capuccino

Can i ask what tempcounts as ‘really cold weather’ and what you are using for the ‘low temperature formula’. thanks

How have you found the lube? I’ve got some on order. i hot waxed a chain for first time and had terrible drivetrain problems since, so was going to try this on top of the wax to see if it makes things a bit smoother

I’d happily pay that fora replacement motor and new warranty

Happened to me once, but could get the chain out by loading the suspension. It get’s jammed in when you’re sat on the bike and you can’t get it out when you’re off the bike.

Turns out I’m full of sh*t. Well sort of. Having told you all I wasn’t prepared to pay for upgraded specs I saw a Smashpot coil conversion for Zeb 170mm on eBay and bought it. Only done a few very muddy rides so far, but liking the change. The spring I’ve installed is maybe a bit too stiff as...

So you have same bike as me. Now 3 years old. Yes the components are quite basic and I have made minor upgrades to mine - meg neg can and shape-it link on the shock and 170mm air spring shaft on the Zeb. Both were cost effective and positive upgrades for my with my admittedly heavy weight 95Kg...

yep that's it in Hi position

don't know how well these pics show one in hi position with longer eye to eye for shock plus yoke (i think this is what you call brass tab showing?) and one with shock plus yoke being shorter ie lo position

not sure what you mean exactly. can you send a picture? I took mine apart to help explain. this is a photo of the underside of the shock in the hi position. basically if you want it Hi, you need the shock plus the yoke as a single entity to be longer

MegNeg was an improvement to the basic shock. Only issue I have is that you have to put in more air pressure and given my weight (95Kg in my pants) that takes some doing. Had to buy a Lezyne shock pump to get the pressure required to even get close to 30% sag. I also bought the flip link that I...

i have a steel hard tail that I ride a lot and enjoy a full suss that I ride rarely and don't really enjoy lots of road bikes iincluding and Eeeeb that I enjoy But I enjoy the EMTB most of all

had my E160s nearly 3 years. 6600kms so far and done 10000 on other bikes in that time. many chains, one cassette, many brake pads, many suspension services, 2 new motors, 2 sets of tyres, 1 set cables modified shock to MegNeg and Fork to 170mm still grinning on every ride

this has happened to me twice. on both occasions the bike shop ended up replacing the motor. luckily it was under warranty

I run 155mm cranks on my Ebike (Whyte E160) and longer cranks on unassisted bikes. I was also disappointed by suffering knee pain on the Ebike more so than on other bikes. However, I have come to the conclusion that it is nothing to do with pedalling and everything to do with standing on the...
