Yes I have seen it, according to that a coil would fit just fine. I ride a Super Deluxe RCT, not brand new, but works well. I just like the feel of coil, but how I setup my air-shock makes me wonder.
I have around 27% sag at the moment and two tokens. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with my current setup, I have just always liked the feel of coil shock. An air shock is easy to tune to what you want, a coil shock not so easy. It is not a bad thing to bottom out, just not all the time...
Question for the ones riding this frame with a coil shock, are you easily blowing through the travel? With an airshock I find I need lots of tokens to make it more progressive. I like to have a coil shock but I am afraid the leverage curve is not progressive enough..
This is a very interesting frame, but the geo chart is weird. 185mm travel would be nice for a full enduro with 180-190mm fork. According to geo chart axle to crown is 564mm, that is a 150mm travel fork. Even with less travel shock(60mm) that is not enough.
Of course you can just put a longer...
Oh, sorry for late answer! That looks good, very similar to what I did. I actually ordered new cells last week. I will build a ~500Wh battery from 18650 cells and a small extender.
I used Wurth polymer glue, it can take heat up to +90 degrees celsius. I just put glue in between and checked the angle with model i made on paper. It sticks very well, but can surely be cut if needed, it stays flexible. It needs to be flexible not to brake from vibrations.
I guess you can use...
I haven't measured voltage, but it feels that percentage drops quickly down to 90, then slowly to 60-70 and after that big drops down to 20%. Under 20% seems to last forever, but that can be thanks to very low assistance.
For the present 21700 cells I used this, M6 size. I glued and taped the aluminum square nut in place on the battery. And plastic M6 screws. I have cellofoam around the cells to make it a tight fit. It doesn't move at all, even without the screws. That is why I needed a handle to pull it out...
I got a 36V firmware in my motor on delivery. When I connected 48V battery(charged to 46V at the time), I got "high voltage" alarm and motor would not start. I don't know the upper limit for 48V firmware, but at 58,8V there is a risk it is too high and you can't start the motor.
You will not notice any difference when using it. There seems to be firmwares available for all three.
36V is most commonly used, so third party batteries and range extenders are widely available.
43V is Bafang speciality, many motor+battery kits are 43V, but you cannot find other...
Hi, that's cool! If you are on Instagram I got an open account there, @65_mtb. I am not super active or the fastest to answer, but I would be happy to answer your questions, with the best of my ability. I am no pro builder, just amateur stuff! :)
Yes I did, I believe it is maximum. Since this picture I did rebuild it so I now have plastic M6 screws and metal counterpart on battery. Also added a handle to pull it out, since I made it very tight so everything would stay in place. So far has been working very well.
I would make a 13S2P...
Interesting! I am trying to make up my mind about this myself. The battery I am using so far, a 13SP3, has been working without any issues. I am no expert. I used 8x0,15mm nickel, around 7A should be ok. In 3P it will never get that high. Pushing +600W it is only just over 4A per strip. Normally...
