[EddiePJ]

Not sure if this has already been picked up upon, but the following could be of interest to Bosch Classic line motor owners. http://www.bike-eu.com/Sales-Trends/Retailing/2015/2/Bosch-Starts-Replacement-Program-Classic-Line-1697763W/?cmpid=NLC|bike_eu|2015-02-03|Bosch_Starts_Replacement_Program_Classic+_Line

This is of interest,,, I have had the clunkies (now fixed thanks to Martins bike shop) and have had the occasional slip of drive that feels like the chain has jumped a tooth or cranks have gone round a quarter turn when I know the chain hasnt slipped (very occasional so not been too worried about it) I am sure mine is a classic line, just not sure what the + in "Classic+" means

not sure what the + in "Classic+" means

Do you happen to have an SRAM DD3 rear hub on the bike?

 

[Gubbins]

Ah.. Not that technical so dont know....

 

[EddiePJ]

One of these. https://www.sram.com/sram/urban/products/sram-dd3-24

 

[Gubbins]

Oh no nothing like that. It's a typical 9 speed shimano.

 

[EddiePJ]

Sorry phill, I hadn't spotted that you had your bike listed at the bottom of your posts. I can see that it doesn't now. I was going to suggest the slippage could have been the rear hub, had you had a DD3 fitted.

 

[Gubbins]

It's just odd and I hadn't even thought about it until I read this post,just thinking it was something e bikes did.

Thanks Eddie

This is of interest as I have suffered this loss of drive several time.
I'll look into it.

 

[EddiePJ]

It was you that I had in mind when I started the thread.

For everyones attention its all motors that look like this:

 

[Gubbins]

Mine doesnt look exactly the same as it has three grooves on it...

View attachment 10513 Mine doesnt look exactly the same as it has three grooves on it...

It's the same unit. They just fitted a plastic side cover with the chrome ring on to jazz them up a bit, I prefer mine without the cover fitted.

 

[Gubbins]

Just emailed bike shop to see if they will take it on.

Thanks Eddie. I have a Kalkhoff BS10 with the old (pre 2015 normal size drive sprocket). Is this a Classic+ Lune motor? Haven't used it enough last year to really expecting problems but being pre-warned of potential failure is not abad thing.
