    Shortening your cranks

    Well, the SRAM thing has to do with the chainring interface of the spider clutch. Those are the 4 holes that bolt to the chainring. Indeed for Shimano there is a different spider clutch with a slightly different hole pattern. As can be seen on this image (nr 9 vs nr 10): However this has...

    Shortening your cranks

    So i dont think these cranks have the Raceface proprietary CINCH system, which is what you would need in order to bolt the spider clutch to the crank.

    Shimano chain compatibility with Dyname 4.0

    So here is a weird observation... My Altitude A50 2022 came with the Shimano drivetrain, and ive always felt the drivetrain had a bit of vibration. I assumed it was just inherent to the Dyname design with the additional drive sprocket. Nothing too disturbing, but surely it never felt as smooth...

    BMS Reset

    What do you mean by "bms connector"? The whole thing IS the BMS and it has lots of connectors: - Charge port (C+, C- / but could be something else, just follow where the leads go) - Motor controller communication (seems to be the one you circled in blue, cant read text for that reason) -...

    2022 Rocky Mountain new Altitude Powerplay

    Google Jumbotron rocky mountain and you will find lots of pics and vids. And the motor has 108 Nm peak torque, not 105.

    Shortening your cranks

    I measured my Atlas 165 cranks at 180mm center-BB to tip. The difference is quite big when you have them side by side with the Ride 170's. The Ride 170 is actually a 175mm crank arm where they moved the hole 5mm further inwards. The Atlas doesnt suffer with that problem, its a true 165 crank...

    Shortening your cranks

    Ok, i can now confirm that Atlas cranks in the "83mm" variation (in other words with a RF151DH spindle pre-fitted) will directly fit the Powerplay models. So basically i first upgraded my bottom bracket to a 30mm variant: BB92 Double Row CINCH 30mm | Bottom Bracket BB| Raceface I got the 30mm...

    2022 Rocky Mountain new Altitude Powerplay

    To be honest, i dont think 199 is a hardware related fault. I get that error every now and then, but only when powering up the bike. After a restart everything is ok. If it was a hardware related fault (loose contact or something) you would expect it to happen on a ride as well. Recently my...

    Rocky mountain 2022 Powerplay firmware level

    My LBS just upgraded my 2022 altitude firmware to the latest version. And now my display shows exactly the same numbers that you mention. So i would say you are up to date.

    E-Bike in Catalonian Pyrenees

    Many of those Zona Zero trails can be ridden year round. The exception might be the higher elevated trails. But most trails around Ainsa are fairly low in elevation any way. The one thing that is annoying in late winter / early spring are the processionary caterpillars. There is loads of them...

    How much power do I need?

    No this is sold on the EU market as well. In fact i bought one, and there is a whole network of distributors and shops that sell it in the EU.

    How much power do I need?

    oh yes. The dyname motor actually shows the output power, and it actually does consume 750W almost continuously on the highest power setting: Source: And it seems to make sense. With my previous E8000 i was able to ride a 500Wh battery flat in 1 hour, meaning i was consuming 500W on average.

    How much power do I need?

    Theoretically yes. In practice, no. Im not sure how emtb manufacturers are getting away with this. But hey, you dont hear me complaining...

    How much power do I need?

    No you are not wrong, but its not the cadence that has to go up. Its the electrical power. That is why i mentioned before that most motors actually consume anywhere from 500W to 750W at peak, resulting in ~70 to ~110Nm at the cranks.

    How much power do I need?

    Well, that is not how it works. The percentage rating means the amplification of your own input. So if it is set for example at 200%, and you apply a force of lets say 30Nm on the cranks, the motor will output 60Nm. If it is set at 90% and you apply 30Nm, the motor will output 27Nm. But then...

    2022 Rocky Mountain new Altitude Powerplay

    Ah i went to my old error log entries and lo and behold i also had 2x the 157 error show up. But in my case it said that the value should be below 1.44V. That kind of makes sense, because that is the zero point for my sensor (and what it was calibrated to at the time). Yours is calibrated at...

    2022 Rocky Mountain new Altitude Powerplay

    Well yours is apparently a bit different, stating that the level should be below 1.20V. As mine is already at 1.44V without weight. Maybe they changed something in the sensor for the later models? (mine is 2022 altitude, bought May of this year) When does your error typically show up? Under...

    2022 Rocky Mountain new Altitude Powerplay

    You really shouldnt have to recalibrate every ride. Cant remember the last time i calibrated it and everything still works as it should. Just keep the torque pulley clean and make sure no debris is stuck behind the pulley that might obstruct its functioning. From what i can see, error 157 could...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    Hope it remains that way. I did the same thing with the washer. But for me the grinding would restart after ~500kms. Regreasing would then help again, but the grinding would return faster and faster each time, until the grinding became permanent.

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    The original color of the grease is white. So if its brown now that means its either heavily contaminated or burned due to overheating. Either way it doesnt look good.
