    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Because none of you would have it in you to do so. If it was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago. SW, I'm more happy with what I have, but yep if it came to it, I see no reason not to buy one. As said, I see it as just a small percentage of owners that are having an issue...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    It makes no difference. I suspect that the forum link will contain just another small handful of owners going over and over the issue, along with non owners such as us, and in effect massively extending the thread length.

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Percentage wise, the overall failure rate would hardly even be measurable against unit production, and if you look back through this thread, it is just the same handful of owners that are complaining. The thread reads like a scratched record. And people say that the brexit thread is boring...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I can't see any of the other leading makes of drive unit offering that guarantee either, and why would they.

    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    I'll celebrate with you in a minute with a bottle of Sharp's Doom Bar. I needed an excuse to open one! :)

    Growbags or pots

    It's a good system, but sadly it is also a fine balancing act of knowing when to start filling them. I drain them down and clean them as best that I can each winter, but knowing when to start to allow them to refill is always a hard one. If the water is left too long, it goes stale, which okay...

    Growbags or pots

    Strangely not, but the tanks are now pretty well covered with foliage from plants, as well as leaf mould that I spread yearly on the tops. That is more for UV protection than anything else. Being honest, the water certainly doesn't begin to compare with fresh rain water falling onto the...

    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    Where are these reviews? .

    Growbags or pots

    I quite like my irrigation set up. :) I have since changed from a gravity fed system, to an inline pump. You might not want to see the veg plot! :D When using grow bags for tomatoes, I came up with this simple idea a very long time ago as a means of support.

    Pedals

    That is a real nuisance then. I wonder if a bit of wet and dry paper rubbed over the sole might help. I run clipless pedals on my bikes, so can't really help.

    Pedals

    Perhaps think about changing your footwear to dedicated mtb shoes/boots. The soles are often designed, so that you don't slip off the pedals.

    Who would it be?

    Funny that you should say that. I do happen to have a rabbit in the freezer at the moment. Time was short, so I had to sadly freeze it. :( How about we skip the ride, and just do the cooking. :)

    Who would it be?

    Female... Without doubt, Jenny Rissveds. The best Xc racer that there is. Beside great looks, I love her focussed determination not be beaten. Male.... Tough choice between Harald Philipp, Johannes Pistrol and Ali Clarkson. I'd probably opt for Johannes Pistrol, and get him to guide me down...

    You certainly aren't wrong. Catherine Tate has a lot to answer for. :)

    Room 101

    Cycle related. Anyone that doesn't carry the basics in relation to carrying out simple repairs to a bike when out cycling, then try to blag help when something goes wrong. Non cycle related. Anyone that pads out a sentence by using the word 'like' Just lately we have been very busy looking at...

    Or the thread could simply been started in the right section, and I wouldn't have posted anything. I don't agree with the use of dongles, and as this thread has been started in the incorrect forum section, and has not been moved despite my reporting it, then I am entitled to post whatever I...

    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    Two things instantly put me off the whole range of bikes. Firstly the fact that Focus can't even be bothered to put the bikes weight in the spec. How can they put TBA. They must know what their own product weighs! Especially as they make a point about the motor weighing 2,800g. Second is...
