I was surprised by the same response from another that had asked the same actually. Although I try and pay attention to Q factor, the distance between the crank arms, I had never considered if there would be any downsides to shorter cranks ability to post on while riding. Well of course other...
The cutting edge of commercial LEV battery development comes from the automotive sector. The 18650 "as seen on Teslas" batteries that have been advertised for years are testament to that although not always true. Same for the 21700 cells also. Car packs are nothing more than huge bike packs...
They only do so for the larger M620 series motors with the ISIS interface. I found them on Amazon and they came from I believe Aus or the UK? Took a few weeks regardless.
Does kind of raise the ? why did they switch to proprietary for the M5/600. Maybe they just didn't want to pay the ISIS...
5' 10". Have used 170's since 1999 but going to long travel FS was having issues with strikes as many do. I am not sure if rider height has as much to do with it as the cadence frequency ability to be higher with the shorter cranks and leverage not as much of an issue? Nothing scientific to add...
This could already be answered but the M620 cranks are a standard ISIS and the M600 are a non-standard. Paging @rtp to the crank hotline as he sourced some 150's for his M600.
I on the other hand have the former and got some Miranda 155's easily and cheaply enough. After fitting them I found...
Moto guys do pretty well on pegs eh? I am more concerned with how they react with a torque sensor tuned to them and getting the most efficiency possible out of each revolution. Of course there are other factors in play especially gearing and mode selection vs. terrain.
Got me thinking that I know there has to be a limit to how short cranks can still be efficient at over the power band and think I might take my stock 170's and shorten them to 140's just to see? I have no other use for them.
Hey Chris, it's Bigwheel/Bob from ES. Just wanted to say Happy New Year and put the bug in your ear to put your bikes out stock with the 150 cranks because my trials here tell me that they are a better fit for the PAS spin necessary to keep these small motors on the pipe, so to speak, and not to...
If you can afford it I'd go with the TS as suggested above. For actual mtb riding torque sensor alone is worth the price of admission.
Having ended up quite by fate with an M625 after years of TS use what stands out to me is the nm of torque on tap. I do ride rough tracks here and although my...
And if you ever run into Rob Warner he can sign it for you! Glad you are able to get out there no matter how you are doing it. Have fun waiting and more fun riding when it comes.
If you can put up with cadence sensing and 20 or so mile battery the BBS02 deal listed is probably about as cheap as you can get. Other than going with a hub of some sort.
I can't seem to break my WTB 2.8 Vigilante TC tire free in any sort of mud or snow. I was just trying to today actually several times....heck of a front tire in a 2.5 also which is unusual.
Got first track in today
That is about 1000' elevation and could be all we'll see this winter.
The amount of options across the road, while not endless, are entertaining to string together in different ways.
17 miles/2400' ele gain and 1400' max ele, center right left leg. Not a bad way...
Here is something you don't see every day on here, a throttle...I have been into motor assist bicycles for a long time and never owned one without one. I don't ride it at all just use it as a start out tool and a walk assist. But most of the ones made are cheap and clunky.
Got this one from a...
