Yes we'll took the unit stripped down let the open unit take intense sunshine and heat by that then after 4 hours reassemble using clear silicone sealant and screwed it firmly then placed sealant in all gaps ie wiring inlet and screw mountings

Thank you to everyone for your help and input have now hopefully resolved it by now from previous advice given.

This is my current display

Hi with all the atroutous weather of late I started my e bike this morning and noticed the display went from clear to intermittent lines as in photos any advice please to get moisture out of the unit also do I need to replace think I have a lcd 2 or 3 not sure or if happy with running it just carry on. Thanks in advance

thank you once again would I need a torque arm on the rear if ali or does this only apply to front ali forks ?

Thanks for that see they have rear motor hub kits but prefer front hunb am I right or no issues with a rear kit advantages and disadvantages ??

Hi can anyone here provide link or information for a complete 700c front wheel ebike conversion kit with battery or able to buy battery ie 36v 13A or near only thing is would like it either shipped from EU ie Germany or in the UK any body know who can do this I would be grateful.

It seems when lining up the flat part of the axle to the forks when bike is upside down that it sits in the D/O but need to apply pressure to fully mount it then the motor casing is somewhat wedged no room either side for maneuver the forks are rigid was considering if possible filling down both sides of the lower part of the forks to allow some space chromoly seems to be the said material used for this make of trek bike

yes the washers would be inside the fork / axle

Sent Trek an email if they can advise the thickness of the tube. It's kind of ironic but seem to have plenty of play with the rear axle but hope not being stupid here, but would the front e hub fit on the rear or is it all completely different ball game and if so how ?

So you wouldn't advise then even if I where to get a torque arm fitted for added strength, filling down each side to height of hub till totally clear of rubbing both sides on the forks then?

oh thanks for that I might well just ride it as a normal mtb as it's very light without hub gutted wanted this to work out but that said cost 70 so not too bad I guess could get forks but would need them affordable to make the project worthwhile

Thanks might have to look at the forks option failing that anyway over time of widening / stretching apart say with a wooden block or anything? if this fails as it's light might just ride as a normal bike

Hi thanks for reply I have a carrara bike with same motor steel forks and no issues and no width issues I am aware of torque arms have used on weak framed forks. With this trec bike I put a magnet on the forks and it took to them so I know the forks are suitable for the motor hub ..... so would I be ok trying to widen if possible and if so how? or likewise file or carefully grind each inner side of the forks.

Hi everyone have got an issue and that is got a trek 810 mtb which is ideal as the forks are robust and strong steel which made it an ideal choice to use with mxus mottor, I checked it to fit my axle 100mm and it does but found once the hub was fitted on the forks I haven't enough clearance for the upper outer hub where the outer screws are fitted, the forks are wider fatter here then below where they sit, so my question is can I file/grind the sides flush to allow the forks the clearance needed ? I am guessing I need to clear 3mm each side but not for until tightened up. Any advise would be much appreciated I don't at this stage want to look at alternative forks. If not practical or safe to do so how about trying to widen stretch the forks further apart and if this is an option how or best way to do this? Just researched the frame and this is what it's made of : chromoly ˈkrəʊmɒli/ noun a form of steel containing chromium and molybdenum, used to make strong, lightweight components such as bicycle frames. Thanks guys

Well viewing went well and seemed keen only to get message next day to say he gone and got an E-bike on amazon so there you have it one bike for sale .....

Thank's unseen guess it's down to location with things like this but it's early days yet

Thank you Dave shall keep things as they are I'm happy with the wording

Viewing went well but coming back with partner tomorrow afternoon kept on insisting it's not a mtb but a continental style bike not sure on that one what do you think ?

it's a case of getting items right price, right time and right place that's all where I live not a great choice of good second hand suitable bikes you see

Yes the bike brake levers have the brake sensors on them the magnet / stuck on underneath type if that makes any sense.
