It does make sense and if you spend the right amount of money, it's doable: Look, after some maths on total sums for an AllMountain built: small carbon housed battery, strong LightBicycle carbon loops with Onyx hubs, real strong 29x2.4 Radial in DH casing tyres; Mezzer 170mm fork and Mara Pro...
Good luck with your project, are you aiming at a specific target weight?
For the wheels, I could recommend to use Extralite hubs, laced with BERD spokes onto SLS4 rims from Duke. You’ll be sub 1,3kg weight without any fear!
Well, the SmartShift which is at the core of the electronic shifting they are using in the MGU is far to be perfect, but very very far from my experience. So it’s a cool concept, future is there but I will wait until IntraDrive sends me their product so that I can bolt it into a Shimano bracket...
For the hub, you shouldn’t look any further than the Onyx Classic, they make a SS specific in boost which I’ve used on all my SS builts, either gearboxed or regular single-speed. They last and roll for ever … but living in Spain, mud ain’t a big issue as some others have reported in UK.
I’m a bit confused about factory data’s and your experience: they do specify numbers from 52 to 62 or 52 to 66. Since I will defo upgrade this critical component, I wanna make sure with you guys what do I need to order prior to receiving the frame!
Well… end of the story for the frame: it won’t be produced until end of April for the best, then a few more weeks to paint and process to ship, then the delivery is due early June and as I cannot wait so long, I will go for a CEF50 at the end.
Both frames are so similar I will swap all parts...
Well, here is the trick not too cut housings when removing the compression nut: squeeze the olive with a plier several times turning the housing every time 1/4 of a turn, so that you end up braking it. If you can set some kind of locking mechanism to avoid flattening the inner pin, you can even...
It’s like all this package is about the motor with the AM Flow which seems a fantastic one … but the frame, the core of the bike does not match the engine’s performance for what I can read here and there from those who seems to push the bike further and harder than fire road loops
news from the office: currently unavailable as the modo does belong to them, they had a batch made to tease and test the potential but the model will be back shortly
Thanks for this, but I cannot see the link for the tool you’ve mentioned. I’d like to get everything sorted before receiving the engine as I have a customer waiting too.
Well, I was thinking of a 30T as it’s pretty steep where I live (and any bike I’ve tried in 29er that uses 32 or bigger always felt off) and the bike will likely never see the asphalt to reach those speeds
