Markhor Kunlun M510 - 190mm - Super Enduro Build-Log

[calvintys]

Hi Kaaskopf,
I have a question, do you know if Evosid cranks can be mounted on the Bafang M560?
I have doubts about it...

I dont think evosid make else i will be getting for sure. I been looking at bafang crank arm for almost 6 month non stop as I own another m820 bike. Willing to spend 300 usd for a light weight arm for my m820.

no offcourse it does not fit. bafang has a different spline

i use the evosid crankset in combination with my hybridiser-motor-delete-mount. this way i can ride a bafang bike without a motor installed. the evosid crankset is only used in the hybridiser bracket as a normal bb bracket but its fitting the m510 mountings on any bafang frameset. this is for weight reduction /for gravity usage


if you want different cranks you need the BFG spline specially for bafang fitment for m510/m560 and m600
aliexpress has some 152/165 and 175 lengths.
hybridiser and markhor both have their own cranks with less offset
and miranda makes different BFG splined cranks but they have slightly more offset.
mind that the m560 casing is wider so they might need different offset (MORE) compared to slimmer m510.

i prefer the least amount of offset (q-factor). your knees will thank you later.

the m820 uses a different spline and cranks. but i do not have knowledge about that one yet.

Can you explain to me the reason for changing the cranks? Are the originals no good or do they have problems?

I just change for my own experiment before I buy an expensive crank arm. I actually feel lot better then original 160mm. Plus now I have less pedal strike .

Stunning build. I'm inspired to do something similar and build a super enduro. What is the BB height?

I found it low. My weight it's 67kg , using ohlins 434 lbs with 230mm shock. Fork it's 180mm. Motor cover break easily, pls remember to buy extra cover since it dirt cheap. I am thinking of buying another 10pc.

Rockshox Deluxe Ultimate DH B1 (steel shaft) coil shock in 250x75 with 500lbs coil

View attachment 149740



Found a deal on an Oneup v2 240mm dropper, so now the project is on hold till i get the dropper and some more free time...

Where di you find this shock? The weight is really 700g more than a standard shaft?!

it really is. did you see the pic of the shock on the scale ? i was surprised by its weight. the heavy 500lbs coil also weighs a ton..
it is 250x75 which is also the longest rear shock i could find for ANY emtb

but i really think you should get a steel shaft model when looking at longer yoke frames..

i got the shock new but second hand from bikemarkt.de
i couldnt source a new one from shop, as the B1 model with steel shaft needs to be ordered thru a rockshox dealership as it not a shock thats sold a lot

My ohlins weight 230x65 with 434 coil weight 840 gram and ohlins 210x60 weight around 720gram so therefore if 250 should be somewhere 900 gram.

sorry but your shock does not compare

this shock has steel shaft,
HBO, rebound preload hsc lsc and a heavier spring and a different length.

your scale might also not be acurate enough to measure such a small weight ?

its s shock of a trail bike comparing to a DH specced shock

Bro it's Ohlins shock and it's has a stainless steel shaft n urs its only steel , are you sure ohlins it's a trail shock ? The scare it's just an estimate guide , i am not a weight winnie person.

 

[calvintys]

Has anyone tested a Kun Lun with double crown fork? I am thinking of getting Ohlins DH38 , which offset crown do you think its suitable as ohlins has 46mm n 54mm
