I just noticed on the other thread how the rear chainstays have an extra pivot bolt just anterior to the rear axle. This is exactly how transition builds their bikes.
Do any other brands build rear triangles with an extra pivot bolt like transition?
Could this possibly be a scrapped mold from...
More I see these other competitor Chinese m820 frames, I’m wondering if ours will be a trunnion shock as well. Everyone runs a 185x55 (light carbon, and another alibaba shop). Buttons also look very similar to the cef50 with 15-160 front fork. Is Linda playing with us?
Its an .mp4 file which I cant upload.
I took a screenshot of it. This is the part showing it buzzing the seat stay. This is with 29 Inch wheels and 210x55 at full flex.
Linda has been stellar as far as customer service goes.. I’d be shocked if they didn’t pull through.
She has told me running 29 in rear wheel with 210x55 shock will risk rubbing the seat stay. She sent me gif sent from her engineers. It seems really well thought out. Wish I could post the gif.
I've never built a bike before. What is the headset 52 mm / 66 mm piece indicate? Which headset piece can I purchase? Cause it seems they come with different sizing (Cane Creek 40 IS42/28.6 IS52/40 Short Cover Headset). Is there a headset you guys plan on purchasing?
Is the bike actually capable of taking a 55 mm stroke shock? How did someone calculate that? I’m worried I buy the shock and then it ends up buzzing the rear seat post.
Also, I’ve mostly seen 210x55 shocks being used on 130-140 mm travel bikes. Does this mean we need a progressive air shock...
I’ve never had a Bafang motor and this would be my first diy. How is the drag on bafang motors?
Given the lighter weight without the battery, I’m wondering if it would be possible to run without the battery on park days. Def gonna have to remove it for traveling purposes.
Spoke with Linda...
Is it missing part of the chart? I feel like the typical measurement of chainstay length is with a slight angle and not exactly a horizontal measurement so you can't simply add CS and FC together.
I want to build a e10 or possibly the new light carbon with an m820 motor.
How much does a typical battery cost?
I ask because I want to take my bike whenever I visit my family in California. Transporting an ebike without a battery is a lot easier than transporting an ebike with battery. I...
