If you havn't done the new Bosch update, maybe worth getting it done before you get an Error come up mid ride. Like what happened to me. Lucky it was all down hill to the bike shop

Hi. I happened to damage a bolt on the frame. Rounded alen key. Decathlon in Sweden did not have spare parts in its range. Does anyone have any idea where to find this bolt?

Hi did you have any luck with the bolt? Mine just stripped on the shock mount the Alan fixing is oversize on all the bolts so metric Alan keys wobble too much plus mine were far too tight so much my shock was locked, I’ve emailed decathlon uk but probably have no success in a replacement bolt set.

I have not been able to get a replacement. I rounded the Allen key but I have temporarily used a torx key instead. I will contact Decathlon Sweden again next week.

So when it comes to batteries I get that storage is best 30-60%. I think it’s also suggested to use it between the same 30-60% range ideally. Some say 80%. I guess this is just to get the most cycles out the pack before it’s dead. What are your guys routines?

Charge it until it's full, ride it until it's flat.

The advantages of Bosch batteries
No memory effect
Bosch batteries with lithium-ion cells can be charged quickly irrespective of your charge level at any time. Interruptions of the charging process do not harm the battery. Complete discharge is not required.

Extremely low self-discharge
Even after long periods of storage, e.g. over winter, the battery can be used without recharging. This means Bosch rechargeable batteries do not need to be recharged after a long break in use. For longer storage, a charge status of approx. 30 to 60% is recommended.

Long service life
Bosch batteries are designed for lots of trips, miles and years of service. The intelligent, electronic Bosch Battery Management System (BMS) protects lithium-ion batteries from extreme temperatures, overcharging, and excessive discharge.

Thanks. There’s so much mixed information about when it comes to batteries. Similar chemistry in laptops and mobile phones and we charge those to 100% and run them empty I.e deep discharge. For car packs they say 80% is the norm for longevity. Might explain why the mobile phone lasts a hell of a lot less but in fairness there are more cycles.

Decathlon in Sweden has not managed to find a replacement bolt. They urged me to contact Bosch as according to Decathlon they are the ones who built the bike ... If anyone has any good contacts with Decathlon or Bosch? so I would be grateful if it was possible to find this bolt.

Problem solved! Decathlon called me today and announced that all spare parts for the Decathlon Stilus are available to order, they order from Lombardo in Italy.

Just contact the nearest Decathlon to order parts, they need the serial number of the bike. You may be able to contact Lombardo directly yourself, but I know nothing about that.

I spoke to them in store yesterday and they can’t get any parts ?

Decathlon should instruct all staff in the correct procedure how to order parts for the bike. And according to Decathlon, the right way is for them to order parts from Lombardo after they have received the serial number on the bike.

I need replacement rear bolts as the Alan head stripped because the builders torqued way too tight and I was given a dead end also

 

[Tallguy888]

I was sent to the parts page on Decathlon website I guess to shut me up however you can’t buy the pivot bolts, Decathlon need to source these as the material is crap.

 

[TheSwede]

a tip if you have not already done so.
You can go to Estensione Garanzia - Lombardo Bikes
REGISTER YOUR BIKE FRAME
AND GET THE FREE WARRANTY EXTENSION
Fill in the form with the serial number on the bike to get an extended warranty.
