@TiburonScott Would you mind taking a look at the firmware level you are at with this bike - as it is brand new? Thinking of the display really - that might give us some clues as to what is going on. Mine is 12.4 I checked the specs again, and it is quite clear there is a display based...

I think you have hit the nail on the head - the part numbers are the key. I could find a Specialized chainring at double the price of the Deckas, but not from Specialized. I could not find a bashguard of the same type anywhere, I'm afraid - you may be luckier in the US with stocks there.

Did you manage to get clarification on the anti-theft feature?

Having just completed the change of my Vado 4 chainring from 40T to 44T, I can empathise with your situation. I changed in order to move up the cassette as @Douglas Ruby has mentioned - I was operating on the bottom three cogs all the time. My LBS, who are normally very helpful, really did not...

If you want to do something yourself, take a look at: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/2017-levo-switched-on-but-no-motor-power.33873/ There is a longer thread where some of us disussed the same issue - I bought the product Sierratim recommended, and it worked for me.

I am really intrigued to hear the outcome of this story. I am still not sure which piece of software controls the maximum speed (ie) Display, Motor or Battery, or more than 1. I have no wish to travel any faster than I am here (25km/h) as a base speed, because of our infrastucture (or lack of) :).

The chainring bolts I used in the end were a bit long, so I fitted them and filed them back to the sleeve nut, then unscrewed them 2/3rds of the way, put loctite blue on the threads, and tightened them up again. By the way, I had to put 8 more links onto my chain whip to hold the chainring and...

For me at least, the long saga is over, and I attach a picture of the finished job. You can see I have fitted an after-market (FSA) 44T bashguard, and I reckon it looks OK - but I would, would I not :). The slightly annoying thing is that, with the tools recommended by TS25 and the very good...

For those interested in what my chainring progress is - here is an update. The Deckas 44T narrow-wide ring arrived today and it looks a quality item. Unfortunately, I do still have a bit of a hold-up, because the chainring bolts which came with it are not quite long enough for what I want to...

Well it looks like I might have to scratch this one off :(. With the Vado I only have one chainring, but when I saw Brose mentioned, I put 2 and 2 together and may have come up with 5. It is really frustrating waiting for this ring, and the Amazon link is connected to the same folks that I...

I am a bit downheartened because I cannot get a delivery update for my Deckas chainring :rolleyes:. However, today I have found this chainring which seems to fit the bill - does anyone have any experience of the FSA product?

It is very good of you to look that manual up - I have downloaded it. It confirms the rule of largest sprocket and single chainring wrapround, plus 2 links, so I don't quite know why the other document is saying different. Thanks again :).

Thanks for that. I will take two before photos of the derailleur on the top and bottom cogs anyway, to help me in my decision making. I reckon you are correct in your assessment, but I will confirm when the chainring gets here. As I said, I have always used the first process, to check anyway...

I will be increasing my 40T to 44T, so the chain needs to be longer - that means I need to make a decision :). There is a speed link in the E8000 package (138L), which is good news. I have always used the "plus 2" with my mechanical bikes, and the suggestion of "plus 4" for a single chainring...

Just an update on where I am at this morning :). The tools and the "Rolls Royce" E8000 chain arrived over the week-end, and today - as I thought, all the parts came from Germany. All that is left is the chainring itself - coming from China, no less. I am beginning to understand why my LBS did...

Many thanks for that - it is 50Nm for the spider and the cranks. Should have checked that before :rolleyes: .

The locking ring tool did arrive this afternoon - first step :) . Looking at the video you posted, at around 18 mins elapsed time, it shows the spider and crank arm being re-attached. Is that a torque wrench the technician is using?

The problem I have here is that most of the 138L suppliers (even Amazon) are in Germany, so that postal charge bumps up the cost of an HG701, remembering that I cannot source an HG601 which is not 116L. Luckily (maybe) I've managed to find an open box CN-E8000 chain on Amazon this morning, so...

That is roughly what it will cost me, turning $ into £ with the tax here, only I will be substituting the two Brose tools for the labour charge. This is all a steep learning curve for me, with the crunch time ahead :).

Shaking the chain tree as I am at the moment, I have found this chain which is reckoned to be 50% sturdier than the HG701-11 and about the same price. https://www.highonbikes.com/products/shimano-cn-e8000-e-bike-11-speed-chain-quick-link-138l
