Sorry if I'm wrong but didn't continental do this already and noone was ready for it so it never took off? I'm sure it was a 48v system with integrated gear changing which would switch to user pressure and cadence.... I was so excited for it to be on all production bikes and sadly it...
Mine actually looks like this (managed to get a picture today) empty there is a discoloured patch where there might have been something but there was nothing in the box or bags it came with so I assume it wasn't there from manufacturing
Yeh I get it and both top and bottom would have to rip through the frame before they actually come out, I guess that's why engineers almost always over engineer.... Just seems odd to change the design but leave the bracket with a mounting hole as it makes it look unfinished) something missing....
Sorry to revive an old part but I too used to grease pivot links, mainly just the shaft as they are sealed bearings and was going through a fair few bearings ... I spoke to a bike mechanic at my LBS and he went mental at me, he said no wonder you keep going through them if you are greasing them...
Thank you for the reply, it has made me feel marginally better knowing an answer and that I'm not the only one, but as an engineer I'm really struggling to accept that, it looks like it should be there and if I was honest all that weight on that top bit it makes sense that it should be...
Hi , can any body help me in the picture attached that i took from this thread, right at the beginning, there is a cable tidy under the battery lock mechanism which i high lighted. I received my frame like a week ago i have sprayed it etc and upon building it back up i noticed that i have a...
Hi guys... Painted a few things in my time but never carbon, what type of primer, paint and top coat should be used? As in what should be the main element, water based? Or am I asking a daft question and I shouldn't worry?
wow, thanks, that's really nice of you. it would be nice to take you up on the offer, unfortunately it may have to wait awhile, my other half is pregnant and really close to giving birth to our first so I'm currently on tight rein as obviously do not wish her to go through labor on her...
That was my thinking.... might make it a bit more agile as it would be obviously shorter too..
Nice part of the world but defo not as nice as France! I bet you get to enjoy lovely long and warm summers! That would be my dream one day!
So this is my dilemma I'm also 5ft 10 but have short arms and legs which is why the focus can sometimes feel a little large in some technical places I feel like I'm fighting the length of the top tube if that makes sense, awesomely stable but perhaps a tad long for me, with the top tube and...
Thank you that would be great and good luck with the build...
I've read that they do come up a bit big on previous posts so will be interesting to see what you say... I'm an annoying height which is between medium and large.
Tony at Dengfu have told me that they can get the frame to me but no...
Every person i know that own a newer version of the specialized has had major issues, while the older ones do not
so even if you spend 8k+ to get an overpriced bike you're not guaranteed reliability!!!!
at 2k i can still buy a few frames, motors and batteries before getting to that kinda of...
Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the advise, i was hoping it would be a good adventure and having the satisfaction that I have built something myself out of all the parts I have in the garage which is almost an entire bike minus the frame and seat post so for less than 2k I was hoping to...
? I totally see the irony, technophobe was perhaps the wrong word, it was meant in terms of computers and general IT stuff, a basic bike build with a motor and battery it's not that difficult to a normal bike build with the exception of a power cable, a speed sensor and a display...
thank you, and apologies this is my first ever post and first ever forum in general (a bit of a technophobe unfortunately more time spent outdoors which was brilliant as a child but not the best thing for this modern world!)
i have a Focus jam6.8+ which i love but i purchased it as a "L" in size, feels good most of the time but can some times it feels a little big when on trails.
totally fine as my other half loved mine so much we purchased one for her too which basically means we go out a lot but do no trails, so i...
