    It looks to be for the Spesh EMTBs for sure.

    Known Issues & Problems with Giant Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I very simple 'tick' feel thru the pedals that feels like it's from the motor can just be a stiff link in your chain. Examine it closely on the stand to see. I had this issue and it look a couple of months to locate, was convinced it was the motor. New chain & problem instantly solved.

    2025 Criterium du Dauphine

    By the way I would highly recommend a cycling blog for Tour de France stage by stage discussion. It's a one man show called The Inner Ring: https://inrng.com/ He's quietly spoken, no fuss, extremely knowledgeable and he discusses other topics like riders pay, the promotion/relegation in the...

    2025 Criterium du Dauphine

    For the first time Primoz looked like yesterday's man in the Giro, not helped by his poor technical skills and far too many crashes, forced to drop out on stage 16. With young gun Lipowitz staying with Pog & Jonas on the climbs of the Dauphine & getting third podium slot, I wonder who will be...

    2025 Criterium du Dauphine

    He hasn't raced as much as Pog and although it may well be that Pog is untouchable this year, Jonas seems to be happy with his numbers, perhaps feeling on track to hit peak mid July. Only time will tell. Although the Dauphine is a great & prestigious week long tour, there are only three Grand...

    2025 Criterium du Dauphine

    Because of my TNT/Discovery boycott(!) I am reduced to seeing what live pirate options are available on YT. Normally I'm against piracy but Discovery are so greedy I'm glad to seek the races elsewhere. One random aspect is the feed if not the UK English speaking version might be in Spanish (the...

    2025 Criterium du Dauphine

    Confused - I'm not sure exactly who the line up is on Eurosport/TNT for the Dauphine. Orla, not a man(!) is Northern Irish and can get a bit melodramatic but she's the anchor in the studio, not generally commentating. The only Irish commentator generally is legend Sean Kelly (King Kelly) who has...

    Love it! A Scouser saying to Americans you need subtitles for Irish accents! Pot. Kettle. And the Dauphine is on ITV 4 everyday... https://www.itv.com/watch/criterium-du-dauphine-highlights/2a3848/2a3848a0081

    2025 Criterium du Dauphine

    His attack on Stage 1 of the Daupine was out of character. Looked like he was having fun. Loads of grins. Hilarious breakaway with him Pog Remco & Van Der Poel. I mean the mere mortals back in the peloton must be tempted to just give up...

    Is AMFLOW The Thing Or Just A Hype?

    That's the surprising bit - one bike shop owner saying only four motor warranty replacements of all the Amflow bikes they sold in the last year since launch. They seem to be very reliable.

    Is AMFLOW The Thing Or Just A Hype?

    ok... The new Levo Gen 4. Don't remember which version - Saw some motor problems mentioned in EMTB forums a couple of weeks ago. Shortage of replacement motors from Spesh under warranty, people waiting & suspicion (all just rumours) that they are focusing on selling new bikes, not fulfilling...

    Is AMFLOW The Thing Or Just A Hype?

    Extraordinary account of DJI Amflow sales from these 2 bike shops in Wales. One has about 60% ebike sales in general, and of that, in the past year 60% have been Amflow/DJI bikes! Both shops say the huge Amflow sales have pretty much single handed saved their businesses from going under in the...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    If you cycle all the time in steep hills then brakes become v important - obviously. For 4 years+ I've used the stock brakes on my Vado SL. They've been ok. They stop me when I need to. But there are better brakes out there. Tektro as a brand are ok, again no real issue with the brand but there...

    The Tektro HD-M275 are 2 pot not 4. Also maybe lay off the emoji use, makes you look terribly passive aggressive.

    2025 Criterium du Dauphine

    This year's Giro was very exciting. The Yates & Van Aert join up on the Finestre climb was the most stunning tactical move I've seen in many a long year. Just incredible, shows why road racing is endlessly fascinating. Chess on Wheels indeed.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Not completely true Stefan. I know you live in a flat region. Braking on steep hills is completely different and there are plenty of 160 or 140 flat mount adapters to 180mm rotors. Bike packing or traditional touring on hills for example, the 160 rotor is not enough with a heavily laden bike and...
