I agree with this assessment. Bent derailleurs can be a hard thing to check without the proper tool, though.

For most bolts that have torque specifications, that's a "dry torque." If you're lubricating the threads, then you need to reduce the applied torque by some amount - and I don't know what that amount is. Maybe I'm misinterpreting your "spray silicone" phrase, though?

So, I take back what I said about opposite sides for the ramps. Turns out to avoid handlebars hitting each other you want the second ramp on the SAME side as the first bike. That means you're rolling the second bike up backwards (rear wheel first), in which case if the second bike's seat clears...

So, I decided to try the Satiator software, which runs on PC/Mac to see about the firmware update. Turns out what I have is still the latest, but I was able to edit the name and parameters, create new profiles, etc. and so I now have 4 profiles for our bikes: 1) Slow Charge to 85% 2) Fast Charge...

No, it's pretty easy to tell that he did: 1) He tightened the allen wrench tightly. 2) You can see that the bike platform doesn't sway, but the bikes on it do. He's totally right about unloading. You need three hands - I use my head to hold the bike. I don't get as much sway as he does, but...

Yeah, that helps --- if you have the room on both sides of the vehicle to have the ramp and space to roll the bike to it. EDIT: Also that means one of the bikes has to be rolled on backwards. Not that big a deal, but can be a bit awkward. I also replaced the pins that come with the ramp kit...

Here's an old review. I bought mine during a big sale during the Pandemic to have as a spare, and thought I'd finally spend some time customizing it for our 2 identical Luna eBikes. https://www.ebikeschool.com/review-cycle-satiator-better-ebike-charger/ EDIT: I agree "Satiator" is not a great...

I bought a Grin Satiator years ago during a big sale. I'm just now starting to use it. I edited a pre-canned profile and now decided I want it back. I can manually restore the settings, but it's lost the precanned profile's name. Is there any way to perform a Factory Reset on it to remove all my...

Can you give pointers or provide some information on "order the Ultra in the Road version?" AFAIK, there's not a Road vs Off-Road version of the motor itself, but you can choose different sets of 5 PAS settings that some displays show as "Road" vs. "Off-Road" - others "Sport" vs. "Eco" EDIT: I...

I bought one of those for myself, but my wife stole it: https://sqlab-usa.com/collections/saddles/products/602-m-d-active-saddle

Thanks for the correction.

I replaced the wheels on my wife's bike with wheels that had the XD driver because we wanted wider rims and the 10 tooth sprocket. Two years and a couple thousand miles later, the GX cassette is still going strong, as is my original GX cassette with close to 3500 miles. The SRAM X01 chains have...

Much good advice here on bike fit, too much padding, etc. I'll add that the right size (as in width) saddle is important, too, Too narrow a seat you're not resting your sit bones. This is for SQ Lab saddles, but the fit measurements apply to all saddles...

Ravi, my suggestions for specifics to talk with Bafang about are: 1) Understanding what the Pedal tab settings do for the Ultra, if anything. Most seem to have no effect and their naming implies an overlap with similar fields in the Torque Tab that would appear to provide more control per bike...

It's still Ravi's call. The double-fake-magnet method provides a better on pavement riding experience than the stock Bafang programming model can provide while still giving the rider an accurate bike speed readout on his display. Hardly "irresponsible." I suspect the gating question for Ravi is...

Well, that's up to Ravi, obviously. I did say it was "perhaps outlandish." Stop trying to make this personal. The facts are what they are. I've outlined a simple test procedure for anyone with an Ultra motor to verify my statements as to how the Ultra behaves with changes in the Torque Tab. As...

This looks like a great bike. I'm going to assume, given general layout and tires, that's it's intended for paved road/trail or easy/wide packed dirt trail use. Then, if it is indeed a Uart Ultra that can be tuned: 1) My first, perhaps outlandish, suggestion would be to employ my...

The EX1 is an 8-speed chain: “SRAM EX1 chain Marginally wider but much more robust, the SRAM EX1 chain now features rounded edges to increase shifting precision and boost durability. In event of a defect, the drivetrain can be run with a SRAM 10-speed chain if needed.”...

Yeah, looks like the rejiggering of the forums caused all those links to break. Should be fixed now, thanks.

I’m late to this thread, but since you have a Shimano Deore derailleur you should follow Shimano instructions, not SRAM. Some of the wide range SRAM derailleurs might have different chain length requirements.
