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

    After researching what others had done, I went for a right hand remote, and turned it upside down, fitting it to the left. It feels really natural mounted like that. :) I still need to shorten the hose, and really I shouldn't have even been outside playing at all this evening. Paper work or...

    Just a thought about your Reverb. Before you do anything, check that you didn't unwind the speed adjuster by mistake when you were carrying out the other work.

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

    Hoefully all be well and good, and I won't have to bleed it. I was quite impressed by the quick release fittings though. :) YouTube has some very informative clips about Reverb. :) Ref the shock, I've only done that once whilst out on a ride, and just one little drop of dry lube, was enough to...

    Good lad SW. :) Good to see both you back on the bike again, and it being used off road. :) Not sure why the seat post should be acting up, as that is the beauty of hydraulic over cable. It isn't going to be affected by moisture. Possibly not the right thing to be using, but I suspect that if...

    electric trike

    Rather than buying another bike that she might not use, perhaps change tactics, and take her along to traffic places to ride and hopefully get her confidence back. Cycle tracks, beach promenades, parks that have open cycle routes, even industrial estates. If you or your wife have friends that...

    Maximising range

    You certainly fell short on the rest of the ride though. The average speed is only 10.8mph, and the elevation gain is only 2,327ft. Did you meet yourself coming back. ;)

    Is that a plastic bottle cap being used as a stem cap? :) Just out of interest and no criticism, but why did you feel the need to replace the Haibike factory fitted stem? Looks like the night rides using the Macina Lycan are on hold for bit. As I'm saving the e-Race for better ground...

    What lights do you use

    I do just the same, and have a third stored away in my Camelbak. This comes from past experience of loosing two lights on separate occasions riding off road, and also having one battery failure. My road riding is minimal, and I just buy a load of these at a time...

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

    It's a mod that 'should' prevent outer bearing failure, in the event that the motor is used in an off road situation. So far it is working very well, but I am very careful in making sure that the grease remains around the seal as well, and that it isn't washed out.

    Oxydrive ride recorded on Strava.

    I was out with my regular riding partner on his pedal mtb, and neither of us wanted to return home overly muddy, so the speed was kept way down on what I might do when on my own. The average speed was just 7mph, but I'm fine with that, as it gave us plenty of opportunity to chat. Having said...

    Just the crank arm, lock ring and sprocket. Make sure that you thoroughly get everything spotless and clean before fitting it though.

    Pack plenty of grease around it when you fit it.

    Oxydrive ride recorded on Strava.

    Very nice Nealh, and certainly beats the 19 miles of very muddy and flooded conditions that made up tonight's ride. https://www.strava.com/activities/480718329

    Yep, it's a Bosch upgrade, which was brought out about three months ago, which was when mine went on.. :) So far so good. :)

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

    Father Xmas arrived today. :) One Rockshox Reverb Stealth. Choosen for several reasons. I wanted hydraulic operation over cable. I hate the look of external hose routing. All parts are available should it ever require a rebuild/service. SRAM aren't so far away from me, and have been very...

    How on earth does he get away with this?

    You might also notice that he no longer openly does so. .

    Punitive customs handling fee

    I've recently bought a pair of RedHead Hunter boots from the US, and then a few weeks later received an invoice for £30.00 In my naivety, I wasn't aware of handling fees, and my cheap but superb work boots, are now suddenly not so cheap. :(
