The Garmin 1000 is a lot more complex than the ebikemotion app. So the only thing you are missing by not using the app over something like that is accurate charge level%, estimated range and a log of what assistance level setting and motor watts was used at any point during the ride.
I have (as some of you know a M20i Gain) Love it so much, however it doesn't take a guard. So I'm getting an alloy version for winter riding. For those of you who may know? What guards have you fitted and what max tyre width have you managed to get under them?
I wonder if any kind soul on this thread could take a moment to read my post regarding sizing issues with the Orbea gain?

Many Thanks

I have full length SKS mudguards (Bluemels I think) on my D30. I have a 38c tyre on the rear and a 35c tyre on the front. I found the 38c tyre on the front caught the guard stay when subjected to bad surfaces (vibration) It is not dangerous just an annoying 'Zzzz' The 35c tyre gives that little bit of extra clearance.
Maybe with trial and eror and mudguard adjustment you could get away with 38c on the front ? Of course tyres do vary in size (even within a stated size)
so your experience may differ.

OH HOLY DONKEY RISSOLES..........
I've only just gone and bought it!
The '105' equipped D30, for just a couple 'o hundred more than a D50, that vickster spotted (Thanks vickster and Southernguns!)
It was their 'showroom model' hence the clearance price I suspect-but I am assured it is all pukka and will be pdi'd/shipped ready to go during the week........
I really kind of wanted the D50......but as usual, for all the huff and puff, Tredz actually only have Medium in stock. All others pre odered for September. Everywhere else I looked had a similar story ,especially for 'small'
I hope I have done the right thing? Shimano 105 is way above my pay-scale! I've never had hydraulic anything so hope I can get my head around the brake set-up etc.
The salesman seemed to think the size would suit me too (He WOULD say that though wouldn't he?)
Watch this space,
Please do your best to reassure me won't you? Its a big spend for a bottom-dollar merchant like me.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts regarding size. Small definitely seemed the consensus.
All Best
Yours anxiously

BTW no problems with spokes as yet in over 1900 miles. I had a fitting for the bike before I bought it and a small recommended, and then set up for me on delivery, which fits me perfectly and corresponds almost exactly to the frame sizes and fitting on my 4 other conventional road bikes. I'm short - 5'5", but have a long reach.
