Thats incredible. Are these not the most high quality Ebikes you can get?
Theodore Voltaire said:Here's an exclusive, just for us, first look from inside the secretive biknut skunk works of my new Fox Dropper external 4" seat post. Not fully installed yet, lacking the cable, and lever. This is all the way down. Not quite as low as I would like, but haven't tried it yet. I don't think you could use this post with a stock shock with remote reservoir, without the post sitting very high in the frame. The one in Rix link would definitely fit better, and best as I can tell, I'm not going to be able to use the full 4" lift with the seat sitting this high when it's all the way down.

Nice job. Well done. Love those mudguards.!

Even the *NEW* 2000Wh pack from Stealth seems paltry next to DIY 18650 packs and despite mine only being 22S10P and 2772Wh max - call it 2500Wh at 90V / 90% and usable at 2kWh using 80% of the available should give a long lived unit.
Can't wait to build the next pack, just need to cover another 800x charge to 90% discharge to 20% cycles at 30kms a throw = 24,000kms
Now done almost 1500kms since ownership and will hit 4000kms total on the bike soon - enjoying every minute of it!

Rather than mod the bike, I used a belt sander / linisher to reduce the OD of the powercon female end in the bike by around 1mm, it survived this will no ill effects and was a tight fit but the holes lined up to the ones drilled into the frame for fixing screws.
Nothing went bang when i connected everything together and I can now charge at 1500W with the two chargers combined, still less than the 0.5C the *std* charge rate for the MJ1 3500mAh cells 22S10P.
charged from around 30% SOC to 85% SOC the pack rose 1 Deg C from 42DegC to 43Deg C.
Pretty happy with those results and the el cheapo Powercon connectors are a HUGE improvement on the stock XLR which got very warm with even the stock charger 5-6A.

Lashed out and bought an MT5 front brake as still not happy with the feel on the OEM MT2 even after probike shop has had a couple of goes at it.
$150 from lordgun and a couple of sets of pads from ebay at ~$7/set, one ceramic and the other sintered to try, see if i can't get this thing stopping with some confidence.
I would have done the Shimano SAINT as recommended but as i'd need to do both ends for matching levers and it was a ~$5-600 exercise which is tough to justify for me ATM... (I'll regret that when it hit something )
ryrideswhat said:You know, we talk a fair bit here about not drawing attention from the cops, but I'm curious, how many here have actually been stopped by the cops? What happened?
If you haven't, how often do general punters ask about what you're riding? Are they interested or suspicious?
KarlJ said:which controller do you run now?
I run 22S and charge to max 90V typically even less for commuting 88V ...
dont want to break the stock controller running 92.4V
FL bomber said:What's the easiest way to replace the rivet nuts on battery compartment? Would a small dab of J-B weld work, to stop them from spinning. Also need a few button head bolts.. I know they are M6 but are they fine threaded and what length to order?
st35326... That Excel rim setup looks impressive.
That's a 17in rim.. what size spokes?
