    Carrera Crossfire/Vulcan Torque sensor

    Fascinating d8veh, thanks for sharing. That one is seriously caked in s$£t, no wonder it was playing up. I sometimes think that the Suntour HESC system is too clever for it's own good, and partly the reason why I wanted to trade my old crossfire-e in for a new one and get another 2 year...

    Rear racks

    I use a Tortec Transalp Disc rack with a Vaude Silkroad Rack Bag, works well for me https://www.singletrackbikes.co.uk/m11b203s491p13648/Tortec_Transalp_Rear_Disc_Pannier_Rack/RS_GB/32186?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1v32r9av2QIVYbHtCh0UGAROEAQYBCABEgKHivD_BwE...

    Surprised that not more people on this forum have B'Twin ebikes

    At £62 a pair, you paid too much for your Energiser tyres...could of got them from SJS cycles for £24 per pair (not a one off price, always this price) https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/tyres/700-x-32-34622-schwalbe-energizer-plus-hs427-tyre-700-622/

    Pendleton

    Shame it's gone back up in price (Halfords prices fluctuate wildly so it could be back down again in a months time) At £500, you can knock off 10% with a British Cycling membership discount, and there's quidco/topcashback and gift voucher discount...easy to get it down to about £400 of it comes...

    Shimano BT-E6000 418w Steps Battery - Rack Mount £299 (New)

    Noticed this while browsing, seems to me a resonable price if your bike uses this https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Shimano-BT-E6000-Steps-Battery-Rack-Mount_80008.htm

    Long Distance Tourer?

    Yeah, I hear you. I'd get a fixed seatpost, swap the tyres for some wide touring (Schwalbe Big Ben, or Energisers/Marathons) and get a seatpost with pannier holes like this to fix a pannier rack (...

    Carrera Crossfire

    Pressing the buttons to change wheel size (to increase top speed) sounds more than possible, this manual from an earlier Suntour HESC model describes that setup http://srsuntour-files.dbap.de/_public/SRSUNTOUR-DOWNLOAD-AREA/E-BIKE-Service/Twin-Sensor(english-only)/Speed Indication Setting...

    Carrera Crossfire

    Thanks for the tip on the silicone grease, have ordered up a tube to put on the pins. Didn't have to worry about it on the previous model crossfire-e as the display was non removable. Any tips on anywhere else the grease can be applied or needed ?

    How long do you expect an ebike to last before needing replacement?

    I have got the option for C2W if needed in the future, I might use that if there are no good discounts at the time, but it's rubbish it's limited to £1k, and my workplace are not interested in the green initiative scheme (for bikes over a grand)

    How long do you expect an ebike to last before needing replacement?

    I paid about £640 (after various discounts) for my new Crossfire-e in Aug 2016, used it for 4000+ miles and nearly 18 months, and sold it a few weeks ago to a mate for £400 (still in great condition). Bought a new Crossfire-e a month ago at £607 (again after various discounts), so just over...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Just been out on the 6 month old mrs' crossfire-e (ladies version), and it's instantly noticeably quicker on acceleration and pulling power up hills. Although it's more awkward to ride for me, my time up my commute hill (length 0.6 mile, average 7% gradient) was 2-3mph quicker than my average...

    whats the best method of carrying a spare dolphin battery please?

    Yep, I can confirm that the one in the link above is the one I ordered and has the drop down side pockets, even though the picture shows it without. Here's it on my bike
