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.
