I get 4000km from my sram 12 speed chains. I’ll never apply oil to any chain again. Ultrasonic clean in turps, then wax. The wax should have a little oil added until you can just smear the wax. This makes wax last on the chain longer and extends time between waxing. I clean and wax chain...

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/174628120763?var=473830508531 Currently trying these MX type gloves - great protection everywhere, still plenty of dexterity, touch screen compatible, hands feel very protected when fanging past the trees, and rubber protection over each finger including little...

So you had to buy a new motor after 4000miles because it was out of warranty?

CREAKING ISSUE: Cannondale Moterra with Performance line CX gen 4. At 4600km and 2nd trip to LBS, the motor was replaced. The creaking was very loud when putting force through the pedals. Tightening the main motor mounting bolts gave a temporary fix (first visit). Bosch didn't hesitate to...

As I understand (I'm not exactly sure because I haven't sighted the issue - relying on discussion with mechanic) - The problem I had with the mounting plate/bracket is that when it becomes slightly loose it wears metal away and no matter how tight you make the main motor mounting bolts it will...

UPDATE: My bike is back, with a brand new motor.... woo hoo! The creaking has something to do with the mounting plate/bracket attached to the motor and associated bolts, not the motor mounting bolts that go into the frame. The mechanic said there is another bike in the shop with the same issue...

I have a major creaking issue exactly the same noise as yours and just as disturbingly loud. Bike in the shop the 2nd time. Other similar Bosch creaking issues appearing. I have Cannondale Moterra Check out this thread, where I explain my situation...

That’s interesting because although my 4500km Bosch motor is going strong, major creaking has developed around that area. The bike is in the shop the 2nd time, I’m not sure if the mechanic actually knows what the problem is, but he contacted Bosch and they said they would replace the motor! It...

4500km first 6months commuting and off road, gen4 in Cannondale Moterra

Shall do. This thread might show root of the problem - a worn foam washer between motor housing and bracket leading to metal on metal rubbing: https://www.emtbforums.com/community/threads/creaking-bolt-on-bosch-performance-cx.13171/ I’ll make sure I find out exactly what they do this time and...

Creaking back again, way way louder than before. All the motor mount bolts are super tight. Back to the bike shop we go, lucky it’s still under warranty.

Sorry I don’t know. I do 170km/week, so I’ll see how it goes.

Same issue with Cannondale Moterra after 4000km, firm pressure on the left pedal gave loud creak. Bike shop pulled the motor out, greased the mounting bolts and it was fixed.

Moterra 3 with a bit of bling. Fully sic bike ?? I bought the base model because they all share the same frame, considerably cheaper, I prefer a lighter 500whr battery, and I had the Fox 36’s from my previous emtb. Absolutely love it, top quality, use it to commute and shred, 200km week. It...

I use the same quick link over and over until the chain is worn. That’s up to 20 chain removals. Worked for KMC e10 turbo, now doing the same on my SRAM NX eagle chain (new bike). I always carry an old quick link just in case, but luck to never had a chain snap.

No more than half an hour of hands on work to deep clean the chain each week. If I didn’t invest in an ultrasonic cleaner, I would shake the chain in a container of turps. A huge amount of grit comes out, which all settles out so the turps can be reused over and over. There is a fair amount...

I was doing similar on my previous de restricted HT with Yamaha and 10sp (Giant Fathom E+2), 150km / week riding . To achieve good mileage from the drive train, you need to clean the chain every 150-200km. I use an ultrasonic cleaner with the chain in a jar of turps. Pulls all the grit out...

UPDATE: the low cost replacement 11t & 13t sprockets I put on a worn HG50 cassette (11t & 13t worn) working perfectly after a few 1000km. From China, available on eBay. Lucky I kept my old cassettes, now I can get a second life out of them.
