I’ve seen others on this board recommend Miranda cranks.

You can use standard ISIS cranks. They don’t need to be bafang specific.

My spouse tried my Red LCE930 while on the trail. Then told me it was "like riding on a cloud" compared to her bike. Then told me I couldn't have it back. Well I got it back! But I had to build another one for her (blue/orange per her paint spec)

Thanks for the link xtraman. The Miranda cranks look great!

Xtraman is correct. ISIS cranks. I wanted shorter cranks than Bafang provided. Bought a set of Prowheel ISIS cranks from Amazon and bolted them on.

If you scroll up you can find my build component list and photo of the bike. I’m in US and spent all in $4,100 (including a Fox Factory 36 actually). A similarly equipped global brand bike would have easily cost 50% more—even with 2024 bikemegeddon fire sale discounts. But I didn’t build this...

Just to add — the custom painting work LC did for my frame before shipping is automotive quality and gorgeous. Still looks fantastic after the first couple months of riding. Highly recommend.

Great to see the build process and hear the professional assessment. Looking forward to the ride review! FWIW $799US is an unpainted frame. I had a two color gradient paint done at the factory for $180. Single color is a few bucks less. IDK what LC would charge for the fancy paint effects on...

Sorry my instruction was a bit off. 1.down arrow until all PAS lights (blue) are flashing 2. Press and hold down arrow button

Bafang has an installation manual that lists torque settings. I can look it up if you don’t find the doc (on their site). The go+ app is for the rider experience — a customer subset of the Besst tool for configuration that can make minor tweaks to power output, a speedometer, map and trip...

Congrats on your build! The apps are nice to have but I haven’t done anything with them except check the odometer and battery state of charge (I have the display that has no text readout). if you want to tweak the motor output slightly the app has some ability to do that but I haven’t felt the...

works for me. I have the “basic” E181 display (lights/buttons but no text) 1. Press down arrow past Pas0 until all blue PAS lights are flashing. 2. Press and hold up-arrow button.

Hit 100 miles with the new LCE930. Totally happy with the bike. The only issue I had was a defective lower headset bearing I didn't notice until the first ride on the trail. Had a spare, so a simple swap and no issues since. Everything else has been perfect for me. Ride on everyone!

FYI I have the basic DP E181.CAN" display (lights and buttons with no text readout), and I can connect with the Go+ app.

Look forward to your take!

Sounds like some others have had the same issue. I have not. Just for reference my rear shock is a Fox Float DPS. I purchased a Fox bushing kit of M8 x 21.8mm bushing kit (I think the length can be influenced a tiny bit by paint thickness so best to measure with a caliper). I can't detect any...

Same. I saw them start to rust almost immediately. Replaced with better quality M4 x 6mm screws. Also noticed the Banfang motor bolts were developing rust in the hex heads. Cleaned with WD-40 and Q-Tip to remove rust, added a coat of grease with a Q-Tip (will see if that helps...).

I see someone answered with the Bafang spec (10-20mm). My magnet is 16mm from the sensor and works perfectly.

I'd like to know this too...I received the chain guide but couldn't see how to install it (so I didn't).
