I wanted to convert my DAS-KIT X15 motor from a freewheel to a cassette but I fell into some issues so I am sharing this for anyone who would like to give it a try and find out if anyone has some input on persuing the task seeing this was already discussed here. Capture 1 - Shows the DAS-KIT...

I experienced a similar issue last week where the pedal assist just stopped working. Usually my bike sleeps outdoors even in winter and I had never experienced this kind of malfunction in earlier years. I took the bike indoors, cleaned the sensor and voilà, everything works just fine now...

The lock is actually a no twist or anti twist lock which means even if you mamage to make one cut through the U bolt you will not be able to open or twist the 2 parts apart enough to release the bike from where it is anchored. You will need a second cut on one of the 2 very unstable parts now to...

So yesterday, I went dowtown Montreal for a quick 25-30 minutes hearcut. This was done with a hand saw, in broad daylight, in a park facing a community Police Station. The nerve of those people. Well, it's a bummer to have to buy a new lock but hey! I still have my ebike.;) A good lock is a...

Hi all, Anyone ever went through the process of greasing the front fork/suspension on the Milano? I have a Suntour 28 but there are no greasing hole. I found this video but it lokks like an overkill to grease the fork.

You probably can change model but I would start looking onto Shimano's site to see if there are equivalents to your own model. Possibly a higher quality product/model. You can write them and ask.

Hi Sandro, A loose crank is definitely an issue that needs to be fixed. I am not familiar with the pas sensor but it most likely magnetic and it makes sense that it would be affected by a loose crank. Tolerance is probably in millimeters. I've not read all your post but to isolate the problem...

Hi thanks for both your replies, I beleive both of you are right. I took a second look and I could not see any notches inside the gears assembly so I went in with a small screwdriver and voilà I can definetly feel the notches inside. I then took my very powerful bike light and I can see what I...

Hi, The actual inside width is 2.5mm compared to 1.9mm for the original.

Hi there, thanks for the tip. I just consulted my trusted friend, Calvin Jones from park tools https://www.parktool.com/en-us/blog/repair-help/determining-cassette-freewheel-type and I understand the required tool is an HCW-17 or someting like it.

Hi all, just updating on my fidings while searching for a 27.5 x 1.9mm 36 HOLES/SPOKES rim. You can see on picks 1 an 2 the new rim is larger than the old one. In fact the old rim fits right into the old rim. I tried returning the larger rim to Amego and have it replaced by the proper size but...

This for the tip. Much appreciated. Unfortunately they only have one 27.5 * 36holes and it is not the same width.

Hi there thanks for the tip, you're right this is very narrow for an e-bike. The cliffhanger would be a good size for the Moscow but this is a bit large for the Milano (1.9mm). So basically, 27.5 x 1.9mm 36(HOLES-SPOKES)

Hi all, I am currently looking for a NCM Milano rim to replace badly dented rim on a 27.5 inch bike. 26 inch are easy to find but 27.5, I have not found except to buy the complete rim-motor assembly. I might have to go with the full asse mbly if I can't fim the rim only. Of course the cost is...
