    No power

    I am listening. By any chance did you drop the motor wheel somewhere in the process? I have recently seen several where the washers were wrong. Sometimes there is a P-setting for how the format of information is being sent from the wheel to the controller. There are three options. Write down...

    Show Us a Tool

    This 2mm polypropylene tubing is another tool for feeding cables through frame. I am sure there are plenty of other ways and I have used some. I can take an exiting housing and pull it out leaving behind the cable. I then feed this stuff over the cable through the frame. Then I feed my new cable...

    TSDZ chain drop fix

    Just asking: What if you took a two inch long section of hose put it around the chain and strapped it to the existing chain guide?

    TSDZ chain drop fix

    Could an extender screw with a spacer work on the guide? Under what conditions is it dropping? Underload while shifting to a lower or the lowest gear. Or in a higher gear while not pedaling and coasting on a bumpy surface.

    TSDZ chain drop fix

    I am with you. The rear end just shifts it off the chainring. It looks like the aluminum 32-t narrow/wide chainring was set at one link off. It is badly worn. The 'wide' teeth are badly sharpened and the 'C' gaps way too large. The chain and gears must also be replaced. I have made those or...

    Why does giant need me to be online to use the bike?

    I am highly amused that someone would want an app to ride a bike. It for me would be like an app to walk barefoot along the shore or to go skinny-dipping.

    Hi! New here

    @sarita, Welcome. What part of our best friend's and greatest neighbor's part of Canada are you hailing from? Where in your journey are you? I adore Canada. And Canadians. Sometime I would like to take the train from BC to Nova Scotia and eat B.C. salmon, in Q.C. and a huge lobster in N.S.

    Then there was the opium war. The Brits drugged their population. And drank tea from bone china.

    The Chinese made clocks with gears and springs when the west used sundials. They had fine silk when the west had wool homespun. The root of machine is Chine.

    Reliability of ebike motors. Let the arguments commence!

    Some insidious companies make bikes intended to fail. It is all about profit maximization with the silicon valley mindset because they are in the silicon valley, went to the same schools, and are wed each other's siblings. Their children play soccer together. And they attended the same backyard...

    What is great about most Bafang mid-drives is that there are two wires to the battery, red and black. That is the way it should be. It means that no one is stuck with only one option for a battery, or replacement battery in the years to come.

    I am not sure about Bafang. I do not buy them, but will install them. I can say that it is very popular brand and parts are available from multiple sources. I just cannot forecast at 5-10 years. Enough parts are in circulation to last quite a while. If you have a Bafang you might look up the...

    Reliability of ebike motors. Let the arguments commence!

    Being able to do stuff like:1) get parts, 2) lube the main gear, 3) run self-diagnostics yourself, makes all the difference. I agree and do not think the numbers are necessarily accurate because some riders are offered side deals given NDAs to not report problems as a hush campaign. When it...
