    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    At least you didn't smash the crown jewels when the chain snapped. I always carry a spare chain and a few snap links, just in case.

    Sherman, those rocks do look very greasy. Certainly a good day over here for a ride. :) A bit muddy and slippery in places. but what a superb, sunny and warm day.

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    A while back, I mentioned that I had a new Met helmet, and can't remember if it was you that had also been looking at them. At the time, I said that it was great, but now I'm not quite so sure about it. I had read reviews and some had reported an issue with the rear adjustment band cutting in...

    Take some ketamine for the next six months, and all will be good. ;)

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    QUOTE="selrahc1992, post: 277631, member: 12741"]and I'm bound to enjoy it, more than you could possibly imagine. Evidently not. Unlike yourself, I don't even give second thought to this forum when I'm out on my bike, so clearly it is bothering you more than it doesn't bother me...

    Back to dark wet winter evening rides. 4hrs yesterday evening spent plugging through mud in a lovely starry night. It doesn't get much better than that. The first few rain filled tracks weren't too nice with the water and mud splashing up my bare legs, but I'll soon get used to it again. :) The...

    Most people would be in bed at 1.24am, but not our Soundwave. :) I just hope that you had the curtains shut in the other rooms! :D

    Solution for chain suck, Bosch performance line

    That was the Mk1 version, before I had the tools to remove the crank arms etc, so it was glued on. It worked very well, but didn't last. I haven't found that I've needed once since engaging the clutch on the rear mech, but if I was to make another, I think that I would probably rivet in on. I...

    What a very childish attitude to have. Easily the least constructive post to date.. :rolleyes: .

    Solution for chain suck, Bosch performance line

    Allopes, rear mech aside, it's taken a while for me to find a photo of my simple solution to the problem.

    Off topic, sorry. Preventative maintenance being the key words. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-many-people-are-using-there-e-bike-off-road.15780/page-42#post-273626 It doesn't needs to be sickening. Just simple and almost cursory checks with each wash and clean. :) Nice choice of...

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    Points that I'm struggling to understand why certain forum members are readily choosing to either ignore, or are seemingly happy to defend e-bikeshop's case. A case that his clearly flat on it's face by the noticeable lack of response by Martin from e-bikeshop. I'm also struggling to...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    The side walls weren't the issue. The Vigilante tyres are very aggressive and are meant for use in heavy mud. They have a tread that also cuts in on the side, and being hard packed, it was I suspect this that caused the issue. The tyres are now worn out anyway, and have been changed to a lovely...

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    I wouldn't want to fit a dongle. The Bosch terms and conditions are clear enough in stating that the motor is no longer covered. Martin is being misleading with this though. https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/downloads/bosch/bosch-tuning-dongle-fitting-guide.pdf He states "the tuning dongle is...

    Electric Mountain Bikes: No one will buy one?!..

    Assuming that he has had any at all, I can't imagine that it would be many. Being seemingly the dearest Haibike dealer out there, I'm sure that he could swallow the cost of a few motors. If he isn't swallowing the cost and is sending the motors that he has supplied and fitted with a dongle back...

    Just as well that didn't get it from him, if you had intended to use a full suspension Haibike to do it. ;) It would fall apart and be worthless before you got there! :p

    Glad that the music had the desired effect. :) It is one of my regular riding routes, and I've probably ridden it in excess of 50 times. At the time I had no idea what happened, and even took a mate back with me, to try and work out what had happened, and we couldn't. About a month later I rode...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I really like riding clipless, but because of a twisted knee injury that just won't heel, I'm probably going to switch to flats for a while. I'm not that keen on the idea though. I'm another that uses Shimano footware. I have a pair of these, which seem to be my go to choice...
