148mm is just the boost hub spacing and all modern mtn bikes are at least 148mm at the back. Novatec has so many hubs that it can be confusing. If you are just looking for a new freewheel assy, like I was, then you need either a 162 or 462, same family. The 162 uses those crappy individual...
You need to find the d462 version of this hub which will have 3 cartridge bearings and hopefully 5 pawls. I found my 11 speed version on aliexpress but maybe someone here can point you in the right direction.
This one is 3 bearings, microspline, only 3 pawl, 12 speed freehub only: 50.98￡...
And I had the 610 which has more padding than the 611 but it's also got 3 discrete steps that might be an issue. The 611 makes very smooth transitions. So far I like the Ergon Core and I did try a regular SMC once. This all started for me when I bought a large size Italian saddle I saw on a...
I have to say the non-ebike version is pretty good. I've ridden it 3 times now and even though I still have "issues" healing they did not bother me at all. I did find I still needed the Zoic shorts but that's about all. Yes it's the most comfortable saddle I've found too and I've bought a...
I'm using the switch on my one large tech pack now. I use it all the time even when charging (last thing to get turned on). This plug did have some minor use before installing the switch so I still seem to get e20 at just below half way use of the pack. I then just switch it off and on and it...
I just ordered the non-ebike version of the SMC Core. $149. in the US but found a 10% discount coupon. Fighting saddle sores off and on and have tried a lot of saddles, chamois liners (zoic red, gray and green), seat heights, chamois cream (butter and gouch), standing a lot more (I tend to...
Yes way over the moon, lol. I'll believe it when I have the shock on the bike and headed out to ride, lol.
I have access to a 3d printer but they are very thin and very flexible parts so might not come out that well on a printer The kit I bought has everything brand new including the...
Almost missed these deals on Pinkbike today. There were 2 IBIS take offs, DVO Topaz T3 210x55 for $400.-475. and one for $450. All unused and the last one came with the box, pump and more importantly all the volume spacers too. Volume spacers are also back ordered and not available. So I...
The US size will not work so I've got to wait to find a 210x55/50 DVO. I have one one order for a 15% discount but looks like they just don't really know when they'll get them. Every couple months they extend things by a couple of months and now they are "guessing" it's not going to be this...
I'm getting bit frustrated trying to find a 210x50/55mm dvo Topaz t3. I have found an 8.5"x2.25". That would change the travel form 140mm to 145mm. It would also raise the back of the bike about 6mm. As is stands I've lowered the back of my 2018 plus Jam2 using a 2.6" instead of the 2.8" and...
I looked closer at the specs for my 1300 series switch and it's the 1330 that is 36v 14a rated even though mouser says it's 36 v. I have an inquiry to mouser and factory on this switch. I did wire one up, not much room, and no spark. It's a high in-rush switch and may be OK for dc voltage...
Yes I did try that. None of these take into account the nature of the Focus Fold suspension of course. I might have found a used 210x50, recently rebuilt by DVO, for low dollars!
I found a basic drawing and it seems the spring might be the driving dimension. It's 54mm diameter. Looks close but I think I have 58mm and will check all positions. It comes with 500-610 spring rate (lb/in??) and there is a 400-488, 450-550 and 550-670 available. I suspect the 500-610 will...
I have no idea if this Crane Creek shock will work on my Focus. It comes with a spring but I don't know 1) if this will fit and 2) if the spring is going to be even close for my bike and weight. Anyone have any experience with this? I'm so tired of waiting for the DVO Topaz...now Dec 2021 or...
I just heard that the Topaz 210x55 will probably NOT be available this year. I've been trying to get one for about a year now and I'm looking for alternatives...Crane Creek maybe without the reservoir. Will it fit????
It's very hard to find dc switches with the right ratings too. The one I found is 36 volt dc and 14 amp rating so it should be adequate for my riding. C1300ARBB-602AW Bulgin | Mouser
Otherwise I use the packs internal connection for now, which is a bit of a pain but better than destroying the...
