I completely agree with you @ebsocalmtb. Im literally just theorizing while I wait for my bike to arrive. I know exactly what feel I want to achieve in my bike, so I'll definitely be tinkering. But purely based on numbers, 160 mullet achieves that.
@DanMcDan unless you didnt want the extra...
@ebsocalmtb Thank you for the correction. I've updated my previous post.
As for BB calculations for my own sake with a 160mm front, 160 back, mulleted...
according this article - 29/27.5" – Should I mullet my mountain bike?
Stock BB height @ 150 fork = 339 (336+3 < differences in bb drop...
So for 216mm shocks...there's 2 way of doing this:
1) Stay 29er - in this case utilizing 2 offset will reduce it the shock to 210x63mm preserving the same geo while giving more travel.
2) Go Mullet - in this case, using 27.5 will drop BB. Using 216mm shock will then push the whole rear...
Based on what I've read so far (depending on shock and frame size), you might not be able to fit 2 offsets, usually the front one will pull the shock too far forward where the piggyback material of the shock or the coil collides into the frame. That said you should have another section...
Did a lot of research with tariffs. Spain and US is part of MFN for canada. Spain is also part of CEUT. For Ebikes (non regulated - under 500 watts and doesn't exceed 32kph) there's no tariff. Regular non ebikes there is 13% for complete bike. After tariffs there's also gst and pst and luckily...
Thank you everyone for the input. I'll definitely readjust the weight expectations, but ultimately it's the feel I'm going for, which is for the ebike to ride like an aggressive trail / enduro bike, or as close to it as possible.This is one of the reason why I am going mullet for that "snappier"...
Going to start a thread here to document my first e-bike from purchase to upgrade / final setup. Will constantly update this main post:
The Purchase:
I managed to snag a Large H30 from Jenson USA during their annual bike sale promotion. Purchased at MSRP $5699 + 75 oversized shipping charge...
Looking to do this CaneCreek DB Coil + SLS for a h30 rise, and I have a couple of questions:
1) What's the size of your shock - 8.5x2.5 or stock?
2) Any idea the weight of your DB IL + 500LB SLS Spring?
3) Did you run an offset bushing? If so, top or bottom near the yoke with your upside down...
Just curious Wild-Fins, what's the spring rate of that SLS coil and which year is it? All the new 2021 and 2022 SLS coils contains more coils for the given stroke it's compatible with.
