I think the question you should be asking is why they use grease (in a far too sparse amount) when building them and then oil to service them. Certainly the Nexus seals are not upto containing oil, and I doubt Alfine 8 ones are either. ETA, the Alfine retains this grease, the Nexus doesn't...

That's a myth, those are designed for grease not oil, so glad I didn't dip my gears, self leveling grease is the way to go.

Is that a prototype ? can't you get a torque arm onto the bottom caliper mount if a seperate lug on the fork is out of the budget?

Perhaps he's fixing it for someone else? I wondered where he was. I love my crank-drive Nexus 8 bike, although I need to work out why the grease I put into an Alfine stayed there and why it all got spat out on my Nexus.

I was riding my Kona Explosive back then. It is more about bikes being where they shouldn't be.

Interesting attitude. I'm sorry but you're not exactly helping the situation are you.

That sounds more like a conflict between cyclists and walkers to me, cyclists are denigrated from all sides these days.

Half the Derwent is a public tarmac road with a 40 mph speed limit for 98% ish of the time. Look how fast naughty Graham went round, I think you should have a word with him https://www.strava.com/activities/1005453052#24652169512 segment...

You can flag segments as dangerous, which then means those segments no longer have a leaderboard.

From what I've read over the years the motors are identical, it's the programming that is different, although again I read this isn't something a dealer could alter. As Gubbins says ask some Bosch dealers, or perhaps someone will do you a swap.

Wow well done you, just shows its never too late to improve your health and fitness.

I'm sorry but I had to laugh at that :oops:

@Fuggs line the yellow lines up

Now if it had a dynamo on you could recharge your e-bike battery :) ETA, you'd also have an answer to the 'does it recharge the battery as you pedal?'

I wonder if you can get a bafang kit on one ? You could be a fast beater so 220 minus your age could be miles out. The only way to be sure is to do a max test, but only if you're already exercising a lot. https://www.cycling-inform.com/how-to-test-for-your-cycling-max-heart-rate

I'm pleased you make that distinction, perhaps when stating your bike will do 100+ miles you could also say that some owners may only get 30 miles. I'd hate for someone to buy a bike that the retailer claims will cover 100 miles, only to discover it will actually only do 30 miles in the terrain...

I wonder if 37 cm is the longest measurement. so if you angled the corners off to replicate the battery it might actually fit, although chainring clearance and the way the battery latches in would need to be taken into account.

I have, ok one reviewer got a one-off 75 miles and another 79 miles, still 21 and 25 miles shy of your exaggerated claim of 100 miles. ETA, ah I see they may have been the 13 ah battery. so on that basis I accept your 100 mile claim, my comment below still stands though. I'm sure I've said...

Nope, 100 miles on 17ah is pie in the sky though, like I said if only what you say were true.

ooh I'll have one of those, if only it were true.
