    I am looking to do a dengfu e10 build. Does anyone have any experience/ suggestions dealing with dengfu? I have seen some chats about frames cracking

    Like Patdam, mine is now about 5K into some pretty rough terrain and coping with a heavy rider, not a problem so far.

    Dengfu E10 large frame questions

    The medium E10 is a large sizing for medium. I'm 5ft 10 and a bit and the medium is fine. Why are you looking at the E10, the E82 is now their replacement for the E10 with more modern geometries ?

    There is a more widely available 12mm wide bearing, is there enough room to push the seal out an additional 2mm ? https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p170558/6004/22-2RS-SPECIAL-BORE-Budget-Rubber-Sealed-Deep-Groove-Ball-Bearing-22x42x12mm/product_info.html

    Bafang m510

    Tried that already, they are not interested in Bafang engines as I would suspect by the time you add parts and labour + delivery, you can almost buy another new engine for that price, unlike the Bosch which are around £ 800 by memory and that is exchange. Their service is second to none, a...

    Bafang m510

    The bearing on the non drive side is creating a few issues in we cannot seam to find a direct replacement. The EBike Centre is now probably one of the largest Bosch Gen 4 repairers in the world. As part of their upgrade to the Gen 4 motor they adopt almost a retro engineering method of changing...

    Dengfu E69 Frame - Bafang M820 (lightweight)

    I wouldn't be so sure of that, its a really burly and probably over engineered frame. Against my E10 there is not much difference in looks and size. Very Levo esq in shape and size of down tubes and such and I would say its the E82 rear subframe. I think its set up for 160mm rear travel giving...

    Dengfu E69 Frame - Bafang M820 (lightweight)

    Available in medium. Best to contact Andy at Carbon Cycles. I simply ordered through Ebay and it turned up about 6 weeks later...

    Bafang m510

    Cidi, sorry I just looked up my orders from AliExpress and the listing for that bearing is no longer there. I have to admit I didn't measure the 1 unit I ordered and are now wondering if it was supplied as a 9mm bearing ? Mmmm its in my engine and working lol

    Bafang m510

    That bearing is widely available on ALiExpress, do however take the seal out of them and fill with grease before you use it, it will stop a lot of the water ingress into the motor. Over filling is not an issue as its used as a very low rpm bearing ( effectively no more than 120rpm ). The odd...

    TIP needed - How to remove the spider locking nut from M510 (I got the tool)

    Your basic chain whip for holding the rear cassette whilst undoing that is more than suffice. Basic trick is to zip tie the chain section in a couple of places to stop it coming off the sprocket. If that is still a bit tight then put a bit of pressure on the tool ( its a left hand thread by the...

    Help needed: M510 FC2.0 not switching on

    Yes thats the circuit board. I will take a photo to pin point what to look for as far as a dry soldered joint looks at some stage. I think I used the Greenkit video. Do be aware that connector board is almost the last thing to come out of the case, its right at the bottom so as to speak. Don't...

    Help needed: M510 FC2.0 not switching on

    Yes almost the same symptoms as many of the early 510 motors and including mine. Took me a long time to definatively pinpoint my motors problem as it would only not respond approx. 1 in 10 times trying to start. We need to put this up on a main thread perhaps but having changed the external...

    Dengfu E69 Frame - Bafang M820 (lightweight)

    OK, Andy from Dengfu sent me a piccie of the correct sensor. It seems there is another type to the standard Bafang unit.

    Dengfu E69 Frame - Bafang M820 (lightweight)

    Mine has arrived and it does look a lot better in the flesh than on the photo's. Build quality is stunning and all of the main suspension points are relatively burly considering its supposidly a light weight bike. First impressions are really high. Do consider the gloss coat as a possible, it...

    Bafang M560

    Agree, but how hard do you want to make it for yourself.:) Why not use a chain whip, if its slipping off, simply use two or 3 zip ties to lock the chain to the chain ring ?

    My 18V impact driver on its lowest setting is according to the manufacturer 35Nm. It does have the ability to go in either direction, just a thought.

    Bafang M560

    I've been using my 18V impact screwdriver, seems to have just enough impact to loosen enough on the lower settings ( check your specs of your driver as some can put out over 200nm of torque ). Bit crude but seems to be doing the job. You can buy the adaptors for the 3/8" or 1/2" socket drive at...

    Bafang m510

    Does anyone know where to get the main motor gasket for the M510. Mine was so damaged I may as well replace it. The M600 motor gaskets on AliExpress and the likes are not the same as for the M510. I can probably just use a gasket maker silicon but then that changes the over all width of the...

    (HELP) Newbie just made a Custom Chinese Full Carbon EMTB Beast for $3000. What do you guys think?

    Can I ask a question as to why you went down the M620 route ? There are more alternative frames if you use the M560 motor which is not far short in the Watts stakes with quite a big chunk in weight saving. If you go even further and use the M510 motor, then you could reduce battery size to...
