If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.... :D

Not recommend. :p Legs spinning like I was trying to enter a new dimension, a portal opened and I could see the devil waiting for me on the other side. Stay below 100 rpm! 😁

For a brief moment I achieved maximum efficiency on my Frey EX with a M620 motor. 😁

I see you've already put in 50 miles, and its only Tuesday! At this rate you might top over 200 miles in a week... :) Alas, I am working this evening, which should be a crime on Christmas Eve, but someone has to do it - and this year it's my turn. :rolleyes: :D Tomorrow though will be full of...

That bike has rim brakes that will struggle to cope with the extra power/speed/weight of a conversion kit. I'd recommend buying a new bike.

I bought my Vado SL 5.0 two months ago for twice that price... As they say in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - "It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the century!" 😃

Yep, it's a difficult decision. The Tracer Pros will have much less rolling resistance, so more mileage but less grip if conditions are really bad! Hopefully, the weather will allow the Tracer Pros to be used but you do have more chance of freezing/snowy weather than we do here in the UK. With...

As I'm still without my Vado SL I've decided to put the Schwalbe Super-Motos back on my Frey. I hope to be back in the game soon... :)

Specialized App wasn't used for my 70 mile ride so I don't have any charts to show assistance! But I also own a Vado SL and a Sirrus, and there's a good 5kg difference between the two bikes, so for sure the Sirrus feels lighter and a bit more nimble. My older ebike is a 35kg Frey EX - this is...

Yeah it's annoying, I've been without my bike for a couple of weeks now, but saying that storm darragh would have stopped me riding anyway. 🌨️ But in a way I'm kind of happy the bike didn't work today, because I would have always had that niggling doubt in the back of my mind about it not...

So the mystery around my bike deepens. I decided to take it to Balfes shop in Gatwick. I explained the problem, and the shop tried to use the dealers diagnostics software on it - it wouldn't work. It didn't recognise the bike at all. No bother he said leave it with them and they'll sort it out...

Yep it's not cheap this hobby! I've spent a small fortune in the last couple of months... But thankfully I think I have pretty much everything I need now. I do have an aversion against buying cycling clothing though! Right next door to my LBS is a more general sports clothing shop, and the price...

I'll never forget "Oh my god trampoline" 😄

Q1 - No, I believe it only uploads rides since you linked accounts. You would have to manually export past rides from the Specialized App and upload them to Strava. As you have 60+ rides this could be tedious. (edit) Just noticed you can upload 25 rides in one go on Strava, which will make it...

Just two more days left! You'll need to put in some big rides this weekend to win this weeks trophy! :)

Rufford Ford is a warning to anyone that wants to try drive through water. 😄 This road has now been closed by the council due to all the shenanigans that use to go on.

On modern ICE cars the air intake can be lower than you expect. Sometimes it's lower than the grill on the front of the car would suggest, and if water gets in the engine it will hydrolock it - which can lead to a world of pain...We're talking very expensive damage which will probably lead to...

Now onto Page 5 of how to tighten a through axle. 😄

Yeah it could be as simple as a loose connection. With the RE connected it all works fine. In other circumstances I'd be opening it up and having a look but given its age and under warranty I'm going to leave it for the shop to sort out. I don't want to do anything to void that warranty...

I've been googling and can find others with symptoms exactly the same or very similar to mine, some have had their LBS suggest water/moisture is the problem. (Cabling!) All I know is, my battery was charged to 80%, and was showing as much yesterday morning.... Today it reports Maximum Capacity...
