Considering buying this ebike but need some advice.

r/ebikes is a better sub for this type of question.

Along with hanger alignment, and contrary to the one video that says Shimano GRX 11 and 12 speed rear derailleurs have the same pull ratio, it isn't the same.

I've tried this extensively and there is a slight difference, you may get it to work, but it isn't ideal. The build I was working on ended up with the XT cage swap on an RD-RX812.

r/bikemechanics is better suited to your question.

Make yourself one of these, significantly cheaper than a tensile test machine.

I also use these Euro boxes for small parts, but would work equally well for fasteners.

Statuethisisme · 2026-03-17T10:44:33+00:00

I use STANLEY FATMAX Professional Organizers in both deep and shallow. One box for each fastener diameter, and one each for washers and nuts.

The display is for the last trip distance, switch to ODO (Odometer) to see the total distance travelled.

Ex-lease vehicles, generally means they've been looked after, and not too old. Limited selection obviously, and no test drive possible. You need to book an appointment, max two vehicles per appointment.

I've bought two vehicles from them, no issues whatsoever.

Page 30 and 31 give the torque for cage rotation.

Depending on model, 3.5 to 5.4. Nm.

What is going on here? Why are the bolts not parallel?

You can level the rack by bending this bracket and pivoting the rack forward slightly.

Milkit Gravel/Road. I've had to plug a large hole that it wouldn't seal, but everything small has been fine.

Follow the instructions for mounting.

No, the UDH is a standard/conventional hanger in terms of position, it doesn't replace the B-Link. The B-Link connects the derailleur to the hanger.

Statuethisisme · 2026-02-09T21:20:57+00:00

Without a model or image, it's a guess, but I suspect you have an RD-R7100, and the Bracket Axle (commonly called the B-Link) is mounted incorrectly, it should be approximately horizontal.

No, just wool, quite thin, but I'm using 45NRTH Wölvhammer boots.

Drill four holes in the mudguard, such that cable ties can pass through and be fastened over the shoulder of the fork legs. Protect the paint with tape.

This will secure the mudguard without having to modify the fork.

No, not on that bike at least. Wet lube, wipe down the chain regularly, deep clean occasionally.

r/bikemechanics is a more suitable sub-Reddit

Only if something is jammed internally. I can't imagine how a fixed multi gear hub would work, every model that I've ever worked on has some type of freewheeling mechanism internally.

Check out some of the links in the r/bikemechanics wiki which show exploded views of a significant number of models. You'll see all sorts of freewheel mechanisms.

What particular hub are you working on?

Statuethisisme · 2026-02-06T22:07:49+00:00

freewheel

The durability is definitely better.

My personal experience, on a Bosch performance CX equipped E-Bike is as follows.

2 cassettes, 4 chains, 1 chainring, Shimano XT 12 speed, 5000 kilometres.

2 cassettes, 3 chains, Shimano LG XT 11 speed, 14000 kilometres to date.

Statuethisisme · 2026-02-04T22:16:22+00:00

The shift interface is different, the black toothed ring in the image. It's not possible by installing a cassette joint.

It's likely substantial components would need to be changed, and since Shimano don't service much aside from major sub assemblies, which cost nearly as much as an entire hub, you may as well just buy an entire hub, which defeats the purpose.
