One Month Later: Polygon Siskiu T7 E-Bike 

I love these tutorials you make! Your ramblings are very enjoyable to listen to!

Thanks for letting me join you while you tinkered with that new bike. I learned a lot

Really great tutorial

I learned something from this video! It's also a reminder to work on my bike.

Love your videos. So relaxed and easy to watch. Keep up the good work. Seriously thinking about the Polygone Siskiu, but bikesonline don't do shiping to the United Kingdom so will have to source elsewhere. Good to see your review though.

Luv me sum Ebike and hats off to Polygon, they know how to add value to the market and don’t over price their bikes like every other manufacturer out there.

This makes me think of something I think you’ve touched on before. Just how little grease is used in new bike parts. I e had brand new hubs apart and was shocked to find assembly lube levels of grease instead of normal use levels of grease.

I dont have any friends who like tinkering with bikes. So i really enjoy your hanging out bike videos 👍

I gotta say I’m not really a fan of electric bike, but any electric bikes I see on this channel make me want one

Same issue kept finding the rear axle coming loose. Turned out to be the hub

Nice video. Thanks.

I also leave problems for future me.

If it’s creaking I would have definitely cleaned all the old grease out before reapplying. Just one grain of grit could make that noise.

Hey great video. I purchased a t7e about 3 weeks. I've been having the same issue with that irritating clicking sound. I thought it was the fork. Bikes online had me take it to a local bike shop and have a spacer removed. But that disturbing clicking still happens when going over bumps on the trail. It's difficult to duplicate off the bike so it was difficult to identify to the bike mechanic. The fork is in good shape but I still have that clicking sound. Frustrated.. wondering if I should attempt greasing the headset myself or returning it to the bike shop.

Hi , do think this bike is as good in performance for average rider as the Collusus N8 ? I am undecided between the two bikes as to which to buy. Not a downhill racer but ride rough trails a lot. Your opinion would be appreciated. thanks

I also have a t7e with a loose axle.... is there a trick to remove the freehub body? I removed the cassete & the endcap but the freehub doesn't want to budge

Had the same headset noise with my colossus n8e I recently purchased. I was also too lazy and excited to grease it. lol

Nice tutorial 😂

It's not a tutorial that's a tutorial on "Don't do like Eric" 😂

Bikes online doesn’t ship to Canada

So what you're saying is, as a former bike mechanic, just ride it til it breaks!

Your headset sounds like my knees.

Imagine being good enough on bikes to notice a wobble in the back wheel and not thinking its my sh't ability or the mucky ground!! Good real -world musings rather than tutorial i reckon!!

One thing to be careful of: If you go around tightening stuff that seems loose workout if it should be tight or should just be preloading bearings to stop them falling out etc before you go hammer time on it. I don't know about those wheel hubs. Maybe tightening the tube through the wheel right down so it's basically locked to the wheel position is correct. But maybe that tube is meant to actually just be tight enough to hold the bearings it's inside but not so tight the bearings can't actually move anymore (i.e. you can't hold the tube static and spin the wheel around it anymore). Sometimes issues like this are hidden because another thing (i.e. the axle that goes through the tube) can make it look like it's working. In this case if the tube in the wheel is meant to be free to spin in the bearings it might look like it's working correctly because now the tube is spinning on the axle that goes through it. Which will be awesome until the interface between tube and axel stop acting as a bearing and seize up. Basically: Not all things you can tighten should be so tight that it doesn't move anymore. Some things should be only tight enough to remove play.

I like the info, hate the music shit in the background
