    Riese & Muller Tinker

    1) We have had experience drilling rims in order to accomodate for schrader valvers, though I recommend against it. Also, I suggest concentrating more on a puncture resistant tire than tube. The Schwalbe Bieg Ben Plus is one of the more puncture resistant tires on the market and should provide...

    Squeeking Brakes

    1) It is ideal that with any new bike, the brakes be bedded in. When done properly, this will wear the brake pads and rotor together. 2) You will also want to avoid any sort of contaminants, such as oil from your hands, dirt, and debris, from getting on the rotor/pads. 3) When cleaning your...

    ST2 S headset and stem won’t tighten

    It appears that the rubber band that secures the 4 expansion pieces belonging to the expansion plug broke and the 4 pieces are likely stuck inside the head tube.

    It can also happen from an unresponsive battery, or one that is dead. First, I suggest a hard reset of the battery. This can be done by pressing down the button on the battery and holding for ~10 seconds. Afterwards, if there is still an issue it may be the battery at fault and I'd suggest...

    This happens quite frequently with my personal e-bike and i'm able to resolve it by sliding the display slightly off the mount and reseating it. You will know that your Intuvia's internal battery is dead, if you can not turn the bike on from the display and instead need to power on using the...
