    13 months since I added a 2nd battery with a battery balancer. - Works flawlessly.

    Do you have a link to I tried to buy……..but it said it “cannot be shipped to my selected delivery location” 👐 Maybe only available for American’s 😜

    Bafang Ultra motor for the ultimate riding experience

    Another vote for the Bafang m620. As you’ve discovered, it’s the “Big Block“ of e-bike motors. Spare parts and spare motors freely available compared to other proprietary motors should there be any issues. And I’ve had zero issues with mine.

    My EU legal ebike impressions so far

    Sounds like it’s barely an improvement on a traditional accoustic bike…..and possibly slower! 😜

    Hydra gen 2 vs Frey Beast

    Too small. Change into the next gear and you immediately need to change again. Also mismatched for the top speed of the bike - virtually impossible to maintain top speed pedalling. You’re in top gear most of the time which is going to result in the smaller cogs wearing out sooner rather than later.

    Hydra gen 2 vs Frey Beast

    I use my Frey Beast to commute to work and love it after fitting a 48T chainring, but wasn’t a fan with the stock 40T chainring. Plush ride and dropper set post is handy. Magura brakes are awesome. I can‘t comment on the top speed with the throttle as I’ve never tried it as I don't really use...

    Luna Z1 - First impressions

    My Frey Beast has the NX cassette, with GX everything else. i dialled it in from new and haven’t had to make any further adjustments since. Can’t fault the shifts and it works very well on my bike.

    Rome Banned?

    Here I thought Rome and Stefan Mikes were one and the same, except one was masquerading as pro throttle and the other anti throttle. 😜

    Chain degreasing and skipping on smallest cog

    The derailleur itself may have also lost tension which will be most obvious in the smallest cog. The Altus derailleurs are dirt cheap so maybe consider replacing this and having it properly aligned at the time of fitting. That chain also looks a little loose - largest cog would see the...

    Toughest Mid Drive Chain for 12spd Mountain bike

    Not so sure about the KMC e chains. On my Earth Trex (unlocked Ananda 48v motor) I stretched the KMC e9 around circa 800 klms when it started skipping in 6th gear then got worse from there. Sixth became unusable and my LBS changed the chain for free. In contrast the SRAM GX chain on my Frey...

    Where are the bike tire nerds?

    I have to agree and I’ve had mine for about one year now commuting to and from work each day. In fact the bike shop I bought my ebike from has retro fitted them to all the same model e-bikes they have sold after trialling mine. They owners love them for their smoothness and comfort, and report...

    Where are the bike tire nerds?

    The Supermoto X is a great choice. My wife runs them on her e-bike, whereas I have the semi slick Supermoto‘s on mine.
