I haven't a clue what they are , space age chainring ? help.

It's called a "Speedi" it's a mechanical de-restricter. Hopefully undetectable by Bosch smart system and easy to remove without trace if needed.

It will only increase assistance up to around 25mph.
It has limitations compared to a chip but I still have a year of warranty on the bike so it's a safer option, fingers crossed.

Keep explaining.... I'm not curious in terms of wanting to do it... but i'm VERY curious to know more about the tech/system as a bit of a nerd.

It's a planetary gear system that fixes to the wheel hub/axel, it replaces the stock fixed speed magnet and uses it's own magnet inside the rotating gears.
It reduces the magnet rotation by 1.5 tricking the system into thinking it's going slower than it actually is thus increasing assisted speed.

It's an improved method similar to moving the stock magnet onto the crank arm but with the benefit of the smart system not detecting it as it's constantly rotating, unlike the crank arm method that the system will pick up and cause an error.
That's the hope anyway.

Sounds perfect. That's about the max I would ever want and probably 20mph would do me for the road mainly. Will Google speeding and see what comes up.

It seems like a good device, like I say it does have some draw backs compared to a chip. It's mechanical so will eventually wear out, though it's supposedly good for thousands of miles, it's limited to 1.5x of your top assisted speed, it can't be tuned or adjusted and maybe the biggest draw back is your milage and speed will be inaccurate, also it will only fit certain bikes with disc magnets.

Here's the official website, though the "two wheel empire" is the UK distributor

Had a look and sent a mail as mine has hope hub and rotor. The lad that does some of my repairs said he's just fitted one for someone and it's working well. Cheap as well.

There's a few threads around here on the planetary gear derestrictors.
I bought one a couple of years ago for my Levo from Alex @ Planet3 Home - PLANET3

I see other folk selling for 20 quid more

A oneup 210mm dropper from leisure lake at the reduced price of £165. Plus £40 for the lever.

Come on ebike motor centre, hurry up and refurb my motor! The sun has finally come out.

New Brake rotor bolts for the front and back

I had a local sign business make a wrap for my downtube. The colors are inverted compared to the stock frame and now match the fork . Frame protection and a color change all in one!

Similar to mine had it for nearly 5 years.

Fidlock 450ml Bottle seeing as my 600ml is a little too close to my shock

Finally found the time to install my bike lift, the wooden cleat is pegged to the ceiling in the slab, but as it is red bricks, as a precaution I also glued it with Sika 11FC..

now I will be able to mount my wheels tubeless with the inserts..

Happy Sunday everyone

What stops the bike from swinging around when you are working on it?

It's a swing for them days it's raining and you just can't be bothered.

It's really not disturbing for me, I've been used to this kind of thing for a long time... I started motocross at 15 years old, and I was already repairing my machines myself, and I'm almost 65 next May.. the swinging is not really a problem.. I have the patience as a non-professional

I have the exact same bike lift as you do! I just use it for storage though in my garage. I do like your solution of using the cord to support the rear. I never did like the hooks under the seat. I used to use a bungie cord to hold it to the post.

 

[TheSnowShark]

@JStrube

Yes.. With this system I found it much safer to be able to work on the bike, and without damaging the saddle or the lighting/alarm that I put underneath.

My son bought me exactly the same one too for Christmas 2021, I thought it wouldn’t be strong enough to hold my bike but I’ve swung from it so my bike has nothing to worry about yeah it swings about a bit but it’s great for lubing my chain and similar jobs as it’s almost eye level, sweet bit of kit

I bought my Levo a little friend.

Nice what model is it. I'm waiting for a Cairn adventure to arrive few weeks yet I hear.

It's a Creo SL E5 Comp.
second hand with upgraded wheels. First ride this afternoon, rides well but a bit bumpy on skinny tyres.

I think I would only be doing good forest tracks and some road touring . Too muddy in winter to be having three dirty rides a week one is ok though

Michlin E-Wild (29x2.6) rear, E-Wild (29x2.6) front and Wild Enduro (29x2.4) front tyres.

I'd used E-Wild rear & Wild Enduro combo on my Rail previously as 'back-to-front' widths with good results so bought another pair, the wider front E-Wild is to try

will be using Nukeproof's 'ARD' foam insert things as I bought a load from Wiggle in they're dying moments @ £15 for a pair (27.5" items but can be spliced so I've sacrificed one to extend 10)

^^ Mostly ridden in BPW.

I’ve got the E-Wilds front and rear (29x2.6) with Cushcore on my Patrol and very impressed with them so far.

For my riding I’m starting to feel they’re better than the DHF/DHR combo I removed when I did the new wheel set.
