    Bent spokes ...

    They got bent by accident. That's the rear wheel of a 2022 Gazelle ebike.

    Bent spokes ...

    Sorry, I don't understand. These spokes have got bent. They are not meant to be bent.

    Bent spokes ...

    As in ... The wheel still runs dead true and is still exactly concentric with the hub. Can I get away with carefully squeezing them straight by means of a small steel vice with ally jaw liners?

    Maybe the e bike flow app thingy will tell me. I'll install it and have a go - if I can get my head round it ...

    How to identify Bosch motor?

    Indeed they do. But as you may see from my post above, what I need to know is the type number of my motor.

    How to identify Bosch motor?

    I have a new 2023-model ebike which has a Bosch Performance Line motor rated at 75Nm torque. Seeing as how the maker's bumph doesn't tell me and there seems to be no label on the motor, how can I tell if it's a BDU450CX or a BDU490P?

    Why on earth would anyone use a torque wrench to unscrew fasteners?

    Brake disc wear

    Thanks folks :) The hub is actually a Shimano Inter-5E and now I've been able to look closer, the Tektro disc is held onto the "spider" with what appear to be countersunk machine screws. Not sure what the correct term is for the type, but instead of having a normal Allan-screw hex socket...

    Brake disc wear

    The wife has a 2022 Gazelle ebike with 5-speed Nexus hub and Tektro discs. Because of the steep hills round here and also the way she uses her brakes, I'm thinking ahead to the point at which it becomes obvious that her rear disc in particular is past its best before. So ... Q1 Is there a...

    Which Tektro brakes are these?

    Currently not able to take a pad out, hence me asking :) Are they really likely to be "early Tektro Dorado" on a 2022 bike?

    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    As the OP, permit me to just say that I have now been riding mid-motor ebikes with Nexus hub gears day in day out as my only form of transport for 11 years. They suit both me and the wife, whose 70Nm Yamaha-motor 8-speed Nexus-equipped Batavus shows no sign at all of any wearing-out after three...

    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    :confused: Eh? I'm on about production ebikes which come from major manufacturers, which don't come with normal hub gears - e.g. the 2023 Gazelle Grenoble C5 HMB which has a Bosch motor rated at 75Nm and the Shimano 5-speed ebike hub.

    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    Ermmm ... because that's what I want? Hub gears too. Alas, to me it looks anything but. Plus the fact that the bit about the sticker kills it stone dead AFAIC. Boring old fart I may well be, but that sort of lark is not for me :)

    Is there a bike that meets my requirements?

    Sorry - been internetless for a while so on ly just seen this. Thanks, but the first two are non-starters 'cos they have derailleur gears and the third's way over budget. Interesting that the Haibike has a sensible-looking carrier but the Cube one's an engineering nonsense!
