I was finally able to get a solid ride in today. I go over my impressions of the bike at the end of the video but overall I am very pleased with it. I am happy with all of my component choices, the geometry of the bike, and the power delivery of the Bafang M820. The ride was 9.7 miles with 974...

I just got back from a 9 mile ride actually. I plan on putting up a video today or tomorrow. The brakes are better than I am used to. I had to adapt to them with a lighter pull. The slack is adjustable so the left and right side are identical and just how I like them. My rotors are 2mm. I...

You will need the lower bushings (M8 x 22.2mm) if your shock doesn't come with them but everything else is included. A 185x55 trunnion shock the correct length, no adapters required.

This tool on Aliexpress looks correct. 🤷‍♂️

I found this on Amazon in the US for my m820. It fit perfectly without any modifications.

No problem I am happy to answer questions. I just covered them with blue tape.

Thanks! Yeah I have been painting vehicles for quite a while. I took my chances in order to avoid painting the black and gray areas. If it doesn't stick I'll be redoing it which won't be a big deal.

The Aurora store is included in the OS I use on my phone (CalyxOS) but you should be able to download it directly from their website. auroraoss.com Again, I didn't install it this way but it should work. Once you have it installed you can find the application by searching for "bafang". When you...

As well as I could. It was not as bad as I thought it would be though, it went pretty fast.

I didn't use any primer and I hope I don't regret it. 😬

The frame came painted in matte black. I roughed up the paint with some 800 grit sandpaper and wiped it down with alcohol before applying the paint. The paint and clearcoat I used:

Some tire brands offer emtb specific tires but I believe the majority of riders (including myself) use regular mtb tires with a thick downhill/enduro casing. I went with lighter casing and I hope I don't regret it. I will be installing Cushcore inserts which should help.

Yikes! You make a valid point. While mountain biking is inherently dangerous it doesn't make sense compound that with poorly made or maintained components. I did quite a bit of research before buying the DNM. It has a solid history of reliable performance based on hundreds of reviews. With that...

Good point, the DNM may end up being disposable. At it's price point that may be okay if it holds up for a few years and I am still happy with it. I agree. The only brands I would consider testing at this point are priced up there with entry level name brand forks and probably not worth the hassle.

I use an app called the Aurora Store instead of the Google Play Store and it allows you to choose an older version. Version 2.1.0 is build 83.

I reverted to Go+ 2.1 for now which solves the error. Hopefully they will put out a newer working version.

I split mine but it was a massive pain. It might be worth trying to run them down one side. I dread the day I have to take it apart again.

Good deals!

I finally had an opportunity for a short trail ride. Unfortunately the ground was soft so I had to take it easy. The trail I took is a steady, rocky climb with switchbacks. Powerwise it's about what I expected. It helped me out a lot but I was winded at the top of the climb. It likes a higher...

I have a DNM AOY-36RC shock on my fat tire ebike and it works very well. I have a around 400 miles of trail riding on it. It has low and high compression air chambers. Once you get the pressure dialed in it handles the small stuff very well but ramps up quickly to prevent bottoming out. I would...
