After 2,000 miles in 6 mths I've hit the sweet spot having an inseam of 840mm and a 54cm frame. I have swapped the cranks for 160mm with Shimano T8000 XT SPD pedals and XM9 SPD Winter boots. Raising the saddle by 10mm for the cranks + a further 15mm has lifted the dropper post clear of the...

Presumably the Bosch G4 version. Might there be a clearance issue (both the rear swingarm chainstays as well as the rubber battery covers) with my 5mm shorter cranks?

Back to shorter cranks - the FSA CK-761/IS/wider 160mm is perfect for me but I cannot find any in stock anywhere online. Can anyone suggest an alternative make with similar specs?

Thanks again BMW - very useful info.

Thanks to BMW for the tech stuff. Do I have self-extracting crank bolts in a 2021 dual battery Homage (Bosch gen2 low speed)? I would need a youtube video or more process description to have the confidence to do this myself + implications for dropper post adjustment when raising the saddle...

I am interested in 160mm cranks replacements in the UK. Is there a specification and are they easy to replace on the Homage?

Lumos - I have no intention to cycle on a footpath which the landowner wishes to reserve for walkers or livestock. I just wish that in that case they would signpost me in advance before I reach a barrier which only stops large / heavy e-bikes. It is not a criminal offence in the UK to cycle on...

Thanks for the encouragement Alaskan. I did my first 100 mile trip yesterday - 9hrs in the saddle, 20 mins off it. In order to conserve battery, I used ECO mode for 35 miles (first use). It seems to me that dropping a couple of cogs requires the same effort as TOUR but with a significant drop...

I find it impossible to ride out of the saddle because of the variable torque assistance in each peddle revolution but this capability is not actually needed even on very steep ascents. A frustration in the UK are styles or other obstacles (easily negotiated on foot or with a light bike)...

First time post - new UK Homage GX rholoff dual battery and electric car driver. I live in SE England, largely rural by the sea near several long distance cycle routes (off road & quiet country lanes). Being retired I’ve been able to do 1,300 miles in the first 9 weeks. 75 hilly miles in a day...
