must be magic

Loving how quiet the motor is now. We had a win on Saturday :) fast dry conditions suited Grace. Will you're supposed to sit on the bike

Indeed time to get a refund, Amazon said this when I applied for a refund.

Naively we believe we can educate him.

I wonder where that idea came from :rolleyes: http://road.cc/content/news/205652-zimbabwe-introduces-bicycle-licensing-12-months-jail-those-who-dont-pay

Is there a time limit on informing them of non delivery?

Yes it's on its second bearing now (actually it's the 3rd bearing, forgot to count the original), I could feel some play and the motor had become much noisier, however when I opened it up the bearing was no where near as bad as the original. In reality it is a quick and easy job to change it, so...

Indeed, good to see what I believe is KTM's first drop-bar e-bike. Something carbon with a Yamaha motor would be even better.

I did my cycling proficiency test. Taking your idea further I think all new drivers should be required to ride a bicycle for a minimum number of hours before they can get behind the wheel of a car. They can do the riding with a GPS camera on the bike pointing at the rider to check it is...

I'd not spotted those, thanks. Yes probably suit me better these days too.

Seems like a good place to dump this rather annoying advert.

I've read that the update turns everything down, a soft start, lower power, in the hope of not breaking whatever it is that breaks. I've seen a photo of a broken freewheel assembly from inside the motor, but I don't know if that's the only thing that breaks inside these motors.

The lack of serviceable parts for Bosch motors would put me off buying another bike with a Bosch motor. So my money will be going to Giant with a Yamaha, whether parts for those motors will be easier to source I'm not sure, I had got the impression the situation would be better, I'd better check.

The bike frame is like new in comparison. I've stripped it this afternoon and put a new drive-side bearing in and given the freewheel a clean and grease, back in the bike and running again, feels factory fresh now, ready for another 5,000 miles or so.

They don't make things to last these days, perhaps I should throw the bike away and buy a new one. Also time to delve inside again.

Heck don't blame me if Phill gets ideas.

It what way are they more convenient Dave?

How can you tell? yes a KTM Macina Tank B.

Fancy a race ?

I once hit 17 mph on my bike for a few seconds, the effort required nearly killed me and I'm not keen to do it again :rolleyes: :)
