    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    Yeah, I noticed that as well (24/7 support advert). I also tried calling their phone number at one point near the end and no answer there either. I think the language diff could be a factor, but I got the feeling there was more to it than that (totally speculating, though). I had an order and...

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    I'm just curious how long ago you ordered your motor? I tried reaching out to Innotrace a few times before and after the holidays, but the communication was a total mess (multiple emails over several weeks to get a response and when I did they were usually only partial responses, etc). I...

    Battery question: low voltage

    That assumes the cutoff voltage is 0 volts. I would not suggest that ;). 3.7v listed nominal, but 4.2 at full charge 54.6v is 13 (*4.2) fully charged 18650s in series Cutoff voltage is probably closer to 2.9v (or higher) or a 1.3v drop (or lower). ((4.2 max charge - (53.9v measured charge/13...

    Ya, I was just jokin (well 80-85% ;) -- I might read some bleeding issues differently than "I think the shift system... is crap")

    Battery question: low voltage

    Have you tried using it yet? Any issues w/ elevated voltage sag, etc? How long after charging did you measure the 53.9v? Minutes/hours/etc? +IIRC, a BMS with passive balancing can take a ~week to settle. You are charging indoors, correct? (not like in a cold garage, etc) You're missing ~5% of...

    Not what I wanted to hear with one incoming 🤬... I guess I feel a bit better.

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    tagging @BonBond, but +1, I would (selfishly) also be interested in knowing if there are any plans for that model (OS/share/sell/etc). I haven't looked at the frame/battery cavity in person yet and while I expect that building a pack and packed w/ foam, etc, should be fine, I would definitely...

    DIY joining Batteries, AWG, amperage etc

    Looks like they are rated at 6a discharge continuous. Figure 4-5a to err on the safe side. A 14s4p should be good for 16-20a continuous. At 52v nominal that would be 800-1000w and 250w would be roughly 5a continuous draw. For short runs, I think 18awg wire should likely be okay and I think...

    Quick Kindernay question for you... did you do symmetrical or asymmetrical on your rear rim? I was thinking of grabbing both asym wheels, but since it looks like the flanges and offset are the same, it seems a symmetrical wheel is preferred in this case.

    Cool, looks like that lines up, thanks. Was that B&M? I haven't seen any notable sales online (nothing that would have gotten me brakes+rotors for less than ~double the Magura brake+rotors). Anyway, kinda too late for this round, but I'll have to reconsider the Hope stuff if I have any issues...

    Thanks- BTW, do you recall what spoke length you used for 36h kindernay cage? Was it ~276mm? (I'm calculating for a 590 ERD, but want to sanity check that I'm not way off.)

    Those look great, but I wasn't quite ready to drop that much and hadn't seen any price movement on em... at all🙄

    Lookin at the magura mt5e higo-closer brakes: $220 shipped, $257 w/ 2 storm hc 203mm rotors. Anything else I should consider deal hunting for? Brakes are important to me and I'd be willing to spend a bit more (especially for something more progressive), but not sure I'll be able to do much...

    Well, I was reeeaally close to jumping on the coil train and I kept leaning back and forth, but found the 230x60 Bomber Air for $298 effective on another site (Marzocchi BF drop + $75 off general BF checkout savings + $10 capital one savings). Though, coil is back on my radar and I maaay...

    I'm not likely to be taking any drops touching half that height anytime soon 👌. I'll see what Marzochhi says, as well. As an aside, I do think it's sliiightly annoying they both would come with a coil I can't use... There are a couple Rockshox variants I have on my radar, but let me know if...

    Ahh, yeah, I was just worried about the performance with my weight (vs. the extra weight w/ going coil). EG: if I have to run a x-firm spring at the edge of the rating, would that introduce undesired harshness/bounciness, etc. I'd feel a lot more comfortable testing going w/ a coil if it...

    Yeah, I'm very much in the latter... 🤔 and most of the feedback I've seen from people running shocks is quite positive. I'll dig into a bit more, but my only suspension experience is with an 2017/2018 Manitou Magnum Comp (Air/34mm/120mm) on a 27.5+ hardtail. I'm guessing most new/decent...

    Yeah, coil looks interesting to me, but I've only ridden on air, so the extra unknown on a larger purchase gives me pause (I'm not that far off from the upper rated weight limit for the coils and then add in the extra ebike weight...)

    Hmm... 15% sale on Marzocchi stuff. I had the Bomber Z1 fork and Bomber Air shock on my radar, but still over a grand for the pair (after tax) and I was kinda hoping to stay closer to the $650-750 for the front/rear setup (I don't want to undermatch the rest of the build, but I'm also not gonna...

    Awesome, thanks... google failed me. Ordered: 148mm/HYSEQ Onesie/36h/22t. I was flirting w/ Revolute, but there were a couple things that gave me pause (aside from the ratio considerations). Less unknowns+4x warranty+BF deal makes the decision easier. EDIT: err, I'm gonna grab some extras...
