Ah! I ride in shorts usually. I haven't done the trousers in the chain trick since i was a schoolkid!😆

I think the guard has to go it only fits the Praxis. However i think it looks much cooler without!👍

Hi. If you look back through the thread i did mention this as i was told this by my LBS. They put it on as per the diagram on the chainwheel. Within a week it was off again. This was when i said 'enough was enough'. And fitted a Narrow wide chainring and 200 miles later no problems at all! Ps...

Further update. I have found something else that may have been contributing to my chain drops. A little surprised to find out that the free-wheeling hub was defective after only 1300 miles ! The rubber seal that sits between the hub and the wheel Had perished which was allowing water into the...

So unfortunately i tipped off today after being overtaken by a quad bike at speed in a country lane on a hill. Front wheel went off the road into a gap at the side and i landed on the right side. The rear derailleur took a bang and was bent in. So i pulled it as straight as i could and even...

Reading your post you have identified the times the chain pops off exactly as it happened to me. Unfortunately this doesn't explain why this only happens to some of us and not others. My LBS has identified the problem and emailed Specialized but has not had any response. To reinforce what you...

This is a brilliant post! The amount of times I've nearly fell off trying to enter my pincode on the move....😆 just tried it and it works great. Cheers

I think chain wear depends on many things. A rider who neglects his chain,either through lack of maintenance or by using the motor incorrectly, will get a lesser chain life. Other facts i.e. rider weight or terrain ridden will also affect this. To sum up chain longevity is different for everyone...

I very rarely use the motor. Only on big hills. I have a Park tool gauge and i could see the time for change was near

I have just completed 1325 miles on my chain and LBS said it was near to changing time so i went ahead with a new one(just £20). I have previously damaged a chainring and a cassette with a worn chain so to me its a no brainer.

Yep i thought all the NX were called Eagle but not so. I have the same as you

Great news! Thats why i changed chainwheel to a narrow/wide. I feel more confident now. I'm also going to fit a gold coloured quick link too as it will be easier to locate when I'm riding without my reading glasses!

I could not see the quick link immediately but gentle movement of the chain using the back wheel sorted that. It did take patience (about half an hour) it goes without saying that trying to force it through will end in tears☹️

I have done this roadside 5 times in the last year. Each time I've firstly split the chain using the quick link. Then i eased the chain out by pulling the chainwheel outwards whilst tugging on the chain. Good luck

Final touch,mount for front headlight and phone.

Zero'd the scales before putting the bar on.

We are definitely on the same page! I completely agree with all you have said. I was out today in the mountains in strong headwinds. I use the motor as and when needed and just dont look up the assistance level afterwards. Haha!
