A question regarding the shocks travel: If I go for 150 front, what do I need on the rear?

You should go fir a 210x55 mm mate ✌

A question regarding the shocks travel: If I go for 150 front, what do I need on the rear?

Yes, regardless of what you have on the front, the rear suspension fits a 210 x 55 mm rear shock which would provide you with an effective rear travel of 150mm.

any suggestion where in the UK I can get a 30mm 29er boost wheelset now? I have been searching online for days now and nobody has anything in stock unless you want to spend 600+ on a wheelset.

Realy great thread, thanks a lot!!

I built a view bikes in the past and after seeing this, I'm back
At the moment, I'm fine with my tuned (not the motor) Haibike.

Next year, I will do my first Alps Cross from Garmisch to Lake Garda.
Therefore I need some more Battery.

I would like to build my own bike during the winter time.
So I decided for the E10 and the M600. The motor will be set to 600W and 25km/h max. to meet the local laws in Germany.
Battery around 800Wh should be fine.
Not sure about the Controller/Display yet.

When starting, I will have tons of questions

HI guys,
some of you around 1.80m tall what frame did you pick as a size?A friend of mine would love also dengfu e10.I gave him to try mine, but it is too big for him.So what would you advice 19 or 17 inch frame.I am thinking the 17.He tried in the past my kenevo xl and it was also big for him.So in my opinion the kenevo xl 2018 is like 19 inch dengfu.What do you think?

 

[Stefan_Marinov_23]

Hey there, awesome stuff you are doing!

1 question: How about the actual carbon composite technology?
They seem to be using unidirectional weave (UD), isnt that a bit of a risk?
There is so much twisting and turning and a lot of additional force applied almost 360 degrees.
Shouldnt there be a cross directional weave or something a bit more likely to absorb the pressure from all directions?

Greetings!

Depends on what the under layers you can’t see are, pretty normal to put a fairly fine weave cloth on the outer layer which the frame has and then build layers up from there toward the hidden inside of the frame.

 

[RyeNiel]

Hi. After using the bike do you usually take out the battery or leave it on the bike? Thanks

I‘m 183 cm and the 19‘“ fits perfect with short 40 mm Stem.

If I‘m outside the house and charge the battery, I remove it from the frame and place it on the stone floor away from anything that could burn. If I‘m at home, I leave the battery installed for charging / storage.

Thanks Waynemarlow that makes sense. I am wondering if this is the case with this particular frame E10 as there isnt much detail I found on how it has been built

 

[Waynemarlow]

Theres a very good Youtube vid from Easicomposites on how to build a fibrecarbon frame

I'm 171cm and I ride a 17" and its a perfect fit. I based my frame size on the "Reach" measurement if thats any help.

The m600 is NOT road legal in germany or the rest of the EU as ebike, only as speed pedelec (which means you are not allowed on most trails either). Regardless of the wattage settings.

EU law is about nominal RATED wattage. How this rating needs to be done is describe in additional documentation, but it's not just a firmware setting you can change yourself, it has to do with temperature equilibrium at a certain wattage.

So im getting towards the end of my build but im at a loss on how to install the chainring. I even have the Bafang wrench but that wont fit in the chainring, seems like I need a socket for that. Any suggestions?

 

[thaeber]

Crossed the 1000 km line today. Lots of fun and no issues until now!

You need the bb socket tool for the chainring.

 

[markvanhaze77]

A 44mm with 16 teeth , yeah but will they fit in that gap and be hollow enough for the axle not to get in the way?
Any recommendations?

Just noticed the price of the tooll!!!! I paid half that a few months ago, so worth shopping around.

E-bay looks good.
