    I have only experienced one Bosch unit on a Trek bike and it was pretty intuitive to pedal input and cut.. Hopefully when ToSeven programming goes open source someone can figure it out. I can see the throttle as being pretty useful when crossing sections of rock and root areas to avoid...

    Good call on that. Years of technical dirt bike riding have permanently taught me to use the front brake on the right hand side and the foot brake for traction control, front end loft drop on jumps and vertical wheelie management. It is so learned that I must move my mountain bicycle front...

    I set run time on the "PAS - Keep Time" to its lowest time of 200ms. The adjustment is a BIG improvement to the annoying trailing assist, but there is still a bit too much trailing assist to ride wheelies or carry the front tire over anything with any confidence. As it was mentioned...

    Does anyone know which setting can shorten / shut off the trailing motor assist? I am doing too many loop outs on hard climbs, when I momentarily quit pedaling for front wheel lift, but the motor keeps assisting. Riding a wheelie or carrying the front wheel over holes is not possible with...

    Good stuff.. My current Sram cluster is coming apart with loose rivets.. The DM01 is too much for it. I will give the Sunrace solid steel a go. I appreciate the cheaper chain too.

    Good advice. The complete lack of available service parts or even a digital owners / shop manual were warnings as well. I knew better, but bit anyway.

    Additional issues with my DM01- when pushing the crankset a bit hard in a taller gear and or on a standing climb, the deflection of the chainwheel drive is a bit concerning. Noise is generated in the chain to sprocket as it wobbles a bit out of true. The sprag clutch will also do momentary...

    What a repair shop s*it storm.. This sort of circus happens on motorcycle and automotive repair tickets too, where you step on a grenade and trip on the pin, sometimes costing days of misery and gold. Oem, neglect / abuse or hacker causes.. angered tool gods or sunspots maybe. It must cost...

    Installing rear hub transmissions for mid drives- parts and tips?

    What a battle to end up with snake eyes in the end! I figured it would be a PIA. No wonder the prices are falling on these things. Proprietary service wrench needed?! What an idiotic plan on Shimanos part.

    Sorry- I was at error and you are correct- I tried to fit the 38T which I could not practically fit, and ended up with the 42T on the bike. I am currently running an 11-42 9 Sram cassette. I thought that I may have needed a larger rear cog for very steep climbs when I could not fit the 38T...

    I am running the offset 46T sprocket. The chain is a bit tortured on my largest 2 rear sprockets, but I dont use them for very long. I tried to run the offset 42T but it does not fit the DM01 without grinding on the motor (questionable) or spacing the sprocket away from motor contact. It...

    DM01 control and display issues have developed. A controller issue (I believe) has developed. The kit was installed in July and has about 200 miles on it. On its last ride, output was very limited so I knew a problem was developing. The speed sensor output reading became erratic when...

    I have sent 2 requests and have not had a single reply back.. Why go to the trouble to make and market a product and drop the ball at service? Shooting themselves in the foot with bad PR.

    I just installed the offset sprocket- much improved!

    Installing rear hub transmissions for mid drives- parts and tips?

    Thanks.. I will look up the suppliers. It would be nice to order everything needed online. It is surprising to me, that kits are not sold by wheel size with the hub transmission offerings.

    This may explain my problem with trying to access with my T134 controller. I have been using the up and down buttons together after power up, as I noted on youtube videos. The motor kit did not come with any information and a visit to ToSeven's website was not much help. I left a request...

    I have used this stuff for years. Bendix makes a better product yet, but it has been impossible to find lately.

    Installing rear hub transmissions for mid drives- parts and tips?

    I have been looking at the available hub transmissions such as the Shimano Nexus SG-C7000-5D and trying to figure out where to order the pieces needed to install one. Has anyone here been there and done that? https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-SG-C7000-5D-Internal-5-Speed-Centre/dp/B07H6X72VJ

    ToSeven DM01 with LCD-135 Set Up Instructions?

    I cannot find out how to get into the setup menu on this LCD-135 display. The best I can do is reach this screen: I have read on the ToSeven page that it has blue tooth capabilities, and I can see a blue tooth icon that illuminates when it goes through a self test / calibration sort of mode...
