    Hello, This fault code appeared yesterday. I could turn the power on ok but after selecting an assistance level the fault code would appear upon pedaling or applying throttle. After some seconds the display would reappear until i tried again. I understand this is typically a connection issue...

    906 Alpino reliability

    Bottom bracket replacement

    Thankyou for the replies. Trex: You don't think I would gain anything by removing the paint myself then? (see pics below). I did try to fit a shimano SM-BB70 but the chap in the shop eventually took it back after I showed him that the crank does not go all the way through this type as the...

    Bottom bracket replacement

    Hi all. The original external bearings on my 906 (3000km) came loose whilst cycling and upon inspection were found to be badly worn, dirt and wet having got in. I noticed that the frame still has a lot of paint where i've read it should have been "chased and faced" before installing the...

    Adjusting levers for Tektro Auriga E-Comp Hydraulic brakes (906)

    Hi! Both my front and rear brake levers engage the brakes way too soon. This has been the case ever since the temperatures here in Norway plummeted to a steady -10C over a month ago. This is a problem both for proper controll of the bike on long steep downhill stretches and also when I...

    906 Alpino - Died om me!

    Thankyou for your reply flecc. It is good to know the problem may be more general and not just with my bike. Although I love the bike I do feel that some of the engineering solutions used regarding the electrics appear rather at the prototype stage. I look forward to the day when these things...

    906 Alpino - Died om me!

    Update... Alive again but unwell. I took apart the LCD unit and let it dry out. This seem to be working fine now. I've just been for a 5 mile cycle. At first the bike workes ok but i noticed it took about 3 revolutions of the crank before the power kicked in. Towards the end of the ride the...

    906 Alpino - Died om me!

    Hi all. I cycled under power for about 200meters thismorning when the electrics failed. Pressing the "on" button on the LCD display, it starts, but fades and dies in a few seconds. Removing and reinstalling the battery - I can get the bike to start up and go for a few meters before it dies...
