    Shimano vs Bosch tuning

    Unfortunately, Canyon doesn't ship to my country. Also this is not a Shimano battery. I need a 100% Shimano system (motor & battery) for warranty purposes.

    Shimano vs Bosch tuning

    I've recently used the STunlocker app to increase the speed of my Thok emtb (Shimano E8000 motor) from 25 km/h to the USA legal speed limit 32 km/h (you just change electronically the region to USA). I use my bike for all-around purposes (mtb, trekking, urban) and the 32 km/h is spot on for all...

    Tubed or tubless

    The tubeless insert does NOT offer any more puncture protection than the one you get by using a tubeless set up. Their main intended purpose of use is rim protection during DH drops rather than puncture protection. I've only used the tube version. I've ridden 4500+ km on various surfaces and...

    Tubed or tubless

    I use tubes with Tannus Armour inserts and Marathon Plus MTB tires. Full puncture protection (sidewalls too). Furthermore, since Tannus prevent pinch flats, I'm also able to use lower pressure than usual tubed tyres. The only drawback is increased weight, but this doesn't really matter with...

    MI-TECH Zeno-E Anyone?

    Hi, I'm trying to find some reviews or any other information about the Mi-Tech brand, and specifically the Zeno-E emtb, but there is hardly any information available apart from the manufacturer's website. It's an almost unique emtb equiped with Rohloff (IGH) and Gates belt. I was wondering if...

    Whats wrong with CANYON EMTB shipping in the EU ?

    Peculiarly enough, bike-discount.de and others, do ship ebikes with installed batteries to EU countries without any issues, but they don't ship batteries on their own!!
