Hiya Dax. The solid axle stemmed from all the rumours (and photos) flying about regarding E13 cranks snapping the motor splines off. Although my bike came with 165mm Shimano cranks I wasn't prepared to take any chances when I decided to go with short Miranda cranks. I'll never be able to splash...

Lucky for me I don't share your concern! Most other guards don't cover the chainring, mine does. If it ever takes a hit big enough to damage the motor mounts I'll probably be no more :p Seriously though, the 3mm aluminium brackets will fold first.

Absolutely.

As my e160 is now 2 months out of warranty, motor-wise, I thought I'd share my mods with you. Fantastic bike, October 2021. I should really call it an e175 now. It's done 65 rides, just under 1200 miles/1900 kilomtres and is now in winter hibernation. Had the odd noise from the motor, no big...

Sorry to hear you are being fobbed off. I dread any issues with mine. If the motor dies I'm banging a Bafang in. Have you tried the mysterious spinning the rear wheel backwards? Seems a common suggestion for software glitches on various forums. Try that first for daftness, you never know! I...

No need for that buddy. Back wheel off to unscrew the sensor and top plastic motor cover off to access the connection at the motor. Be very gentle at that end, don't crush or stretch the thin wire.

That group is Newcastle MBC, just turn up at any advertised ride, no formalities at all. We used to get bombarded by folk with no intention of riding, just mass group joiners, so we put the Turn Up First rule in.

Ah what a shame, 2 of us were at Hamsterley yesterday, 1 from Cullercoats, 1 from Holystone!

Absolutely brilliant idea, well done and thank you so much for sharing.

Some great info there for non-jumpers like me. Thank you 👍

Great stuff, thanks. That's the way we do it doon the toon aswell. 👍

I really hope to tag along with you gents some time when the weather is right, I just love the real God's Country. But I'm an old softie now! Question for The Hodge though - if I do crop up at all chances are I'll have pure pedal power company, is that permitted? (all my ride buddies are quicker...

I only have 600 miles on my EP8 but I try to treat it like a baby, bike is dry cleaned, no river crossings, dee daa dee daa. However I do worry as I don't have a money tree. As someone with an engineering background I've started thinking about what could happen when (if) the balloon goes up so...

They sent me another set, arrived in UK in 3 days, excellent service! Have a great Christmas Marco!

They must knock out so many that their assembly workers don't have time to do it properly. Sounds like the widespread dry bearing syndrome on Trek bikes. Scandalous really, considering what we suckers spend on these things.

Cheers mate, I will take a look when my garage is warmer 👍

Thank you all for your advice and suggestions. I'll play around with them while the weather is poor. As for being over-forked, you are right! However I like big forks and they've certainly helped jack my pedals up to avoid strikes. Main reason though is that many times big forks have saved me...

Thanks for responding. This is after just 2 rides from brand new though. Surely don't need a strip down yet?

Hi Marco! Could you just knock on Miranda's door please and ask them why they have not answered my e-mail? They sent me some cranks but FedEx lost them here in UK 😁
