Notes on these figures
- Storage charge · Shimano
Charge every 6 months in storage, store at 50% or above. No cycle-count spec is published.
- Expected capacity · Shimano
SIXTY percent after 1,000 cycles, against Bosch's eighty. Twenty percentage points apart at the same cycle count -- battery health must be a per-brand curve, never an industry constant.
- Replace at thickness · Shimano
Ice-Tech rotors are 1.8 mm new. Also scrap if the aluminium core becomes visible, or if cracked or deformed.
- Replace at thickness · Shimano
Friction material, new is approximately 2 mm. Also scrap on oil or grease contamination regardless of thickness. Bed-in required after replacement.
- Drive unit service · Shimano
Shimano publishes NO km or time interval for the EP8 drive unit -- only 'clean the chain regularly, intervals depend on use'. Seeding a number here would be inventing a Shimano spec.
- Replace the quick link · Shimano
Not an interval: a rule. 'Do not reuse a QUICK-LINK that has been removed.' Surfaced as a checklist item whenever a chain is removed, never as a countdown.
