    IGH Weight Difference - Kindernay VII and Enviolo Heavy Duty wheels with tires

    BBT-69.4 Please note, some hubs (probably from early batches) were coming with hex nut instead (38 mm socket is needed).

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB (2023)?

    Yes, that's the one precisely. My bad, I checked https://propelbikes.com/product-category/parts/brand-specific/gazelle-parts/ and it came empty. Thanks for sharing the direct link!

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB (2023)?

    Looks like they never put Purion on these models in Eupore - all the bikes twins for those available in US got Intuvia in Europe. However Kiox is a bit upgrade over Intuvia as well. Good catch. Might be EU vs. US version difference however. Thanks for sharing - last summer I checked pretty...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB (2023)?

    This is new generation of Bosch ebike platform. It includes new drives, controllers, batteries, display units, app, etc. and completely incompatible with legacy system. One of the key benefit of new platform for end users is an ability to perform lots of operations by owners instead of...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB (2023)?

    So, from what I noticed in addition to Smart System adoption (with much better display now) are new design of battery cower (probably will be stronger - older versions tend to break easily and replacement is extremely difficult to get, at least in US), Magura brakes (instead of Shimano before)...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB (2023)?

    Gazelle make great bikes, no doubt here. There are no MY2023 models yet available in US, so no hands-on experience, but previous generation models are fantastic. I have both C8 and C380+ and have nothing bad to say about them at all. I think with SmartSystem they should become even better. Do...

    Building A New Wheel Is A Nightmare

    I honestly find wheel building and truing process very calming and meditative. Once I invested into proper stand and other tools I have no issues building new wheels as needed. I built new wheel once got new rear hub year+ ago, then re-build front one with new hub (6 both mount instead of...

    Kindernay VII IGH and HYSEQ Onesie shifter

    Oil leaks is the biggest issue this hub has. That is the reason they originally instructed to put 100ml of oil into hub, but later changed it to 25ml - when you put 100ml there it was leaking a lot. My original hub was getting leaks starting first oil change and sometimes it was really bad (like...

    Kindernay VII IGH and HYSEQ Onesie shifter

    Which motor do you have? Also keep in mind the Kindernay limitations for the sprocket ratio:

    Kindernay VII IGH and HYSEQ Onesie shifter

    Answering my own question - from both my research and Kindernay confirmation, CT1122HMN is the only CDX rear sprocket compatible with Kindernay and it has 22 tooth. Kindernay says Gates will release 24t version soon, but so far no alternative present... I had to replace my front sprocket (55t ->...

    Additional Battery For Gazelle Ultimate C380+

    This is the price of the official dual-battery kit from Gazelle, however your option seems unofficial. Regarding if you need one - depends on what are your planned usage for bike? I have it and it is very convenient for me since I am commuting by bike and dual-battery is needed for my commute...

    Additional Battery For Gazelle Ultimate C380+

    I never saw rack battery option for C380+. I know Bosch has this option, but I doubt Gazelle used it. How much they want to charge your for the 2nd battery and parts/labor?

    Kindernay VII IGH and HYSEQ Onesie shifter

    Anyone else using Kindernay with Gates Carbon CDX Belt? Curious if there is another compatible rear sprocket except this one. I am mostly interested in 24/26 tooth version to reduce the gears ratio little bit and make 6th and 7th gears on my Kindernay a bit more usable. Limited sprocket mount...

    Kindernay VII IGH and HYSEQ Onesie shifter

    +1 for Spokes Prep as already suggested (I am using this one for my wheel builds) Hm, there are retailers who sell Kindernay to consumers? Interesting... So far I only saw few bike vendors offers it if you order custom bike build. P.S. Just noticed that both Kindernay VII and XIV are out of...

    Kindernay VII IGH and HYSEQ Onesie shifter

    I personally don't, as long as you use recommended 30nm torque to tighten it, it will stay there without any additional measures.

    Kindernay VII IGH and HYSEQ Onesie shifter

    Box says nothing and this is institutions they ask to follow. I got the replacement hub recently and it has only hub and oil, however oil has a sticker that this is first oil change item (40ml). Nowhere in instructions or emails from Kindernay I see the required to fill the newly received hub...
