Looking at my V2 theres definitely room for coils or large air can shocks like the x2, but one thing i am noticing is the leverage ratio and rate is definitely not optimized. I wonder if the V1 was optimized but then they did a v2 just shifting the lower mount hole to physically fit a larger...
I love kydex and have used it to for downtube protectors in the past, but an unsupported design, it stands no chance. I feel like its more brittle than the oem plastic. The issue is it needs more surface area for support. If you look at the rockguardz website, they go up and essentially wrap...
I think fundamentally your limit is going to be the tiny bolts needing to support the shield structurally. This needs to hold multiple times the weight of rider/bike. The shield needs more surface area to support. I have some ideas but am too busy to build it.
Curiosity. I peripherally work with composites at work but it is another groups responsibility. My previous bike had a removable battery and I never once took it off, so dont really see a need for my personal use.
On the V2 and V3 cef50, is anyone actually running a coil? Im finding the suspension dynamics not great to run a coil. On my air shock fox float x im finding the linkage ratio too regressive where im having to lower the air chamber volume because it blows thru the travel too much. I find it...
Do you know what the q factor on the ones supplied by bafang are compared to your fsa? I want to run some carbon ones but scared to run any from non brand name companies. Ive seen too many people snap crank arms.
PSA: check your bolts
Sorry dont have any good pictures. Here is one before a ride.
Final build came out to right around 20kg even. Its a heavier enduro build with cushcore pro in the rear and a DD casing rear. 170mm front lyrik with a mullet wheelset from ztto. I put a dt swiss star...
Wow i might have fixed the clunking. This is the first time i have been able to put headset together and not feel a hint of play. I ended up swapping out the bearing. I also added another 0.5mm spacer, for a total of 3 spacers (1.5mm). I inspected cup and split ring. Both are clearly...
