Anybody know the recommended spoke tension for the stock ST2 rims?

I heard a rumor about that, too. That would be cool!

I'm going to take an uneducated but instinctive stab and say that the Intuvia is not the problem, but since that's the easiest thing to get swapped first, I'd still try it. Btw, I live a few blocks from Small Planet and am glad to hear they are working with you. They are good folks. It...

Thanks for the update. Must be user error over here.

Thanks very much for the detail. Mine squeaked, then stopped after I relubed/reinstalled, then started back again at a different frequency after putting about ten miles on it. I have the same configuration as you, with both of those big lock washers installed still. R.A. suggested removing...

I'm having a lot of trouble with my Robert Axle. I'd be curious exactly which pieces you installed -- one of the spacers in my kit didn't seem to fit, and after consulting with them via email they said to skip it. They also didn't document what to do with the two existing lock washers that...

My bad, didn't read the title, just the text of your post.

I'm using an Arkel Signature H. It clips in great. There is an older thread where many alternatives are discussed; you might search for it.

I live in CO but had my service done on the road in WI. My understanding, though, is that Magura USA will certify any shop on demand, if you demand it and the shop has a tech they're willing to put through the class. I get the impression that they just ship them a diagnostic harness and some...

How would you insulate a battery that's inside the frame? Is there a bunch of extra room in there? I do think getting the metal battery shell away from the frame would reduce losses; the frame is basically going to stay at ambient in the wind. But I wonder if the battery ever really heats up...

Ooh, keep us posted!

Ah, thanks. What a shame.

Yeah, it makes sense not to leave it on the bike for thermal and weight reasons. But it's not clear if they engineered it to be okay racked in the rain.

Thanks. Anyone know if strapping it does a decent job keeping the rain out?

That's what I feared. I'm sure there are some good reasons for the fancy-pants latch. I like the whole battery insertion approach versus the ST1. But for my scenario this kind of sucks. I hope the rubbery rim works well enough to keep out water with just a strap on the outside, because that...

So, after my ST1 was stolen, I just replaced it with an ST2. I like both bikes a lot. I often put my ebike on a rack on the back of my motorhome, sometimes driving it and leaving it there for days or longer depending on weather and locale. My rack has a huge lever arm and is close to its...

Despite the challenge in changing ST2 tubes, it's a heck of a lot easier than changing ST1 tubes. :)

I never came back here to update after taking the bike in and going through the repair process. Turns out the motor was /not/ the problem, it was the battery. Their diagnosis software showed "numerous faults" reported with regard to the battery. Felt/MaguraUSA shipped a new battery, and the...

That's excellent to hear. All the batteries "sag", so it sounds like they are managing the usable regime above the falloff. Good for them.

The sun delivers about 1Kw per square meter on a perfect sunny day, and we get about 25% conversion efficiency today in good panels. After charging losses, you'd need three solid, sunny hours with your card table to fill up the orange ST1 battery. The improvement has not been particularly good...
