Hi Folks, I think I have figured out what's going on with my bike. There definitely must be some kind of light sensor built in. But the trick is, for my bike, that if you want to switch it out of blinking mode, the system has to be on and in the dark for several minutes. It must take some...

Hi Folks, It's been a while since I've posted here. I still have my Trek Allant+ 8S ebike with the Bosch smartphone hub. I use it for commuting. Last week I had it serviced and the dealer updated the firmware. I have been using it to commute to work and the headlight was working fine. I...

Hi Folks, I just replaced an inner tube on the rear wheel of my Trek Allant+ 8 bicycle. I reinstalled the rear wheel and hand tightened the rear hub bolt so the wheel is secured to the frame. I looked on the internet and at the user docs that came with the bike, but I couldn't find a torque...

Hi Folks, I've been using my allant+ 8s as my bike commuter and really like the bike. I've had it for about a year now and use it to do a 24 mile round trip commute to/from work. I recently ordered a spare Bosch 625 Powertube battery from my Trek retailer. I have the cover plate, but did...

I hope I'm not too late on the reply. I'm 6'2" and recently bought a Trek Allant+ 8S. I went to several shops locally when I was contemplating buying the bike. I wear a 34" inseam pants and either bike (L or XL) fit me but I ended up getting the Large. With the XL similar to your...

******************************************* THIS KIT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. ******************************************* Would anyone be interested in a BionX SL350 kit? I bought it several years ago and installed it on a Trek 800 mountain bike. I never used it much and it's mostly been kept...

Mostly just the city and suburban roads. I'm just paranoid about hitting a patch of ice (which I have done in the past) and have read that marathons are good brands for winter commuting. I live outside of Manchester and will be commuting into Manchester.

Thanks @Timpo - I think the 2" wide tires will work with my rims.

Hi Folks, I recently bought a Trek Allant+ 8s that I will be using for bike commuting (about 23 to 26 miles round trip depending on which route I take). The bike has Alex MD35 27.5" rims and currently is equipped with 27.5" x 2.4" tires. I would like to order some winter studded tires and was...

Thanks for the tip @Alaskan ! I noticed today how hot the factory light was! I didn't originally realize it got so hot. I will have to check to see if I can turn it off (and ask the dealer to enable that option if I can't).

Here is a picture of the bike. I changed the factory seat out to some comfort seat that I found on Amazon. The factory seat seemed pretty comfortable, but I have found that this "comfort" seat really is more comfortable for me on longer rides (I don't wear bike pants - I normally just ride...

HI Folks, I'm new to this board, but have been reading the threads prior to my purchase. After doing a lot of research (including watching several YouTube videos from EBR which were super helpful) I bought an Allant+ 8s yesterday. I originally was thinking about a Specialized ebike, but I...
