Got a set of sexy 155mm cranks to replace the 160mm xts on the bullit.
Question, should I use the plastic shimano washer/pin dealie to locate and keep them on if they get loose or leave it off? Looks like it would work with these arms just like it does on the shimanos..
Thanks in advance...
Decided to upgrade my perfectly good 19' bigfoot vlt with a 23' vlt1... because I'm a nerd and I have a problem. Honestly, I just wanted the ep8, removable battery and new style speed sensor.
So far it got a 150mm mastadon ext pro, magura 200mm mdrp rotors, chromag lift saddle, chromag bza 35mm...
Swapped the 35mm Chromag Bza stem on my bullit to a 32mm Riza unit. Only have one ride on it but it feels pretty good.
The Norco bigfoot got the 35mm hand-me-down and it feels so much better than the 50mm stem that was on there.

I can understand a cheaper hub grenading but I'm over here waiting for an i9 warranty claim. My hub spun the ratchet ring inside the hub shell, still sounded fine peadlling backwards but would also freewheel going forwards lol. This was on a Norco bigfoot vlt fat bike and the failure happened on...
The sram udh seems to cause a lot of creaks on these bikes. Torquing the hanger and the rear axle down did the trick for me.
Also, ebikes are a different breed when compared to muscle bikes and require more frequent bolt checks.
Happy to report that my Bullit has been creak free for the last 3...
I picked up my Bullit from a local shop last May and have proceeded to nerd out to make it mine. It started out as an S build since that was all the shop was able to get their hands on.
The parts list.
-chris king headset
-chromag riza 32mm stem
-oneup ebar cut to 780mm
-lock on foam grips...
Having a brain fart here.... Been using raceface cinch cranks for the last little bit and need a little refresh on the shimano style.
When you're installing the crank arm onto the spindle do you tighten the bolt that screws into the spindle first then the pinch bolts on the crank arm? Or would...
