That was literally in the very first post of the thread.
Yes you can machine them depending on which crank arms you have, Atlas have enough material to go to 155mm from the stock length but I think 150 will be risky. If you want 150mm you would need to start with 165's.
Thats the route I'm...
In a former life I was very involved with making gearboxes and feel I know a bit about them in larger applications but not much difference scaling them down from what I can tell.
As much as it pains me to say I frankly believe the next evolutionary step would be to a variable drive motor for...
Curious what others are doing in the way of mixing and matching components and makeshift hacks from those bold enough to experiment.
I'll start with some of mine.
Brakes are "Shigura" using XT levers, Jagwire Pro hose and Magura MT5 4 piston calipers. 220 front 203 rear rotors. Best brake...
Stick this in a Pole Voima, drop the micraphone and walk away knowing emtb perfection has been reached for the self shuttle crowd....ah if only.
Edit: take it a step further and make the battery removable from the DT and offer a non powered gearbox which can be swapped in and out so the bike...
A pristine set of Fox 38 factory forks for a dirt cheap price! They have a scratch on the Kashima coating which matters not at all to me as I'm installing a Vorsprung Smashpot kit in them...bringing me to my 2nd purchase this week. About to order decals for the forks also.
I havent heard back from RM on this question yet but looking to confirm if the Powerplay (Altitude) can safely be run with a short travel dual crown. By short travel I mean 170/180 vs the typical 200+ dual crown.
Currently running Z1 coil fork and on fence between a Fox 38 with smashpot or just...
I agree the 165 are a definite improvement however at this point yeah if a drop in 155 were available right now I would jump on them without hesitation.
Long story short I blew up a tire insert (Schwable Procore) at around 75psi.
Garage covered in pepto pink sealant, eardrum still ringing, busted up my hand and I'm pretty sure my cat now has worse PTSD than me.
Luckily I was wearing eye protection and it could have been much worse.
Be safe...
I have the same bike and no clue what year it is. I thought the green A30's were/are 2022's currently on sale. The 2023 appear to be a different color scheme and component spec. Only reason I'd like to know for sure is in case I ever decide to sell it (very unlikely) I'd like to know the actual...
Great info from Rod B. above!
A few ways to skin this cat, I favor using the park tool internal cable pulling kit which basically works the same way as Rod described as you use the existing hose to pull the new one.
What differs in my suggested approach is I suggest replacing the hose with...
If you are comfortable performing a complete disassembly you should be fine. The correct/professional way to do it would be to tear it down and sandblast the caliper body taking care to tape/putty the critical areas.
From there the best option would be powder coating. In the USA we have a place...
Just ordered another set of Oneup bars. The RF Carbon bars were way to stiff for my liking so going back to whats familiar/known rather than keep dumping $ trying new stuff.
Be cool buy/sell local.
When I sold my last eMTB I provided buyer with my contact information and proof of warranty registration. If he has issues I have no qualms over handling any warranty claims within the term of the warranty. Buyer lived local enough it wouldn't be an issue for either of us.

There are two different BB's and Spindles used for these bikes. I upgraded my BB and installed shorter cranks...no spacer used but the length of...
We have had an untypically wet season this year in SoCal creating a phenomenon not often encountered wherein water mixed with soil crates a substance I believe called mud.
90% of the time I clan bikes with Simple Green bike cleaner and microfiber rags.
When especially caked up with mud I will...
I go in cycles probably influenced by my group of friends at a particular point in time. No matter what the current hobby is I tend to dive in pretty deep.
Short list; Rock/Ice/Mountain climbing, Enduro Motorcycle racing, Long range shooting (Mile+)/IDPA/HighPower which is similar to UIT in...
Well I will speak to one of the models you ruled out, Giro Switchblade for me.
Trying on or wearing them I never once said oh wow that's heavy to any helmet. To be fair though I have 30 years on motorcycles wearing DOT rated helmets and 20 years military wearing helmets with all sorts of NVG's...
