Endless Sphere

this was done by Samd - the picture below shows how it works and the bike it comes from

whats the bike weight?

28kg/ 62 lbs. Nice to be able to lift the bike up easily into the truck bed!

At long last I got around to finishing this build - a 2005/2006 Norco Aline/ Atomik, with a battery box cut and welded by Samd. Battery is 52v 21ah 14s battery, BBSHD. Boxxer World Cup forks, Fox rear shock, Lekkie bling ring. Test ride this morning - bike is really lightweight, very smooth. The rea...

A dropper seatpost would fix the problem but I use suspension seatposts, don't know if there is a dropper post with suspension. When you get too old, shock to the spine is a significant risk. Well, ebike planning is part of the fun. I found this dropper post with suspension https://www.pnwcomponent...

unless I am misreading something, in which case I apologize - what about a dropper seatpost for the Trek 920? I have recently fitted these to 2 of my ebikes (and one non-powered), they are such a pleasure to use - save my knees, while still allowing to drop whenever I need

Newest project completed. Desert sand P7R, my latest favorite.

love your work, Rix!

I have a Rams Stratus XP (26 inch wheels) I haven’t electrified yet, but will at some stage in the future. It is ridiculously easy to cruise along at high speed with minimal effort. I love the bike’s efficiency.

Could owners (or LMx) not go 18T front cog, and 50% larger rear cog? Visually, it would mean a lot larger rear, I realise.

When I moved from a 12T to an 18T on an LR kit - it was a lot quieter at high rpm

Unless you really want a BBSHD/ want to build your own, this would also work for your needs

Nice setup Lash. I have the same carrier, but for double motorbikes. https://www.discountramps.com/double-motorcycle-carrier/p/AMC-600-2/ the only issue is that the main beam is so heavy, I never use it, as it is just too much of a pain to get out of a store and carry downstairs. If I don't sell it,...

is the $700 for the bike, or the bike, motor, controller and battery? You may need to travel a bit to get something decent. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/bik/d/santa-rosa-surly-karate-monkey-large/6898134435.html https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/bik/d/novato-santa-cruz-blur-xl-ritchey-wcs/6890246...

I am about to put a Edge 1500W motor with FF and hubsinks on a Beta frame. Previously, I was running a LR kit, but I will use the LR kit on a future build, possibly with a left hand belt drive. With the edge motor, I now need to think about the cassette. I tried a 7 speed freewheel, but it projected...

Cable guides are now available glue-on and very solid.

good point - I didn't think of those!

I was looking at electronic systems, and came across this wireless gear shifter, which works across any type of derailleur system https://www.bikemag.com/gear/tested-archer-components-d1x/. I like the idea of limited cables, particularly where I have had a battery box cut and welded into a frame, an...

Still interested. How can I pay? i.e. how should we do this?

Hi SirRounded, PM sent.

Hi, yes, US$200 each. The postage will be an issue - cost is NZ$190 each, i.e. US$127 via NZ Post. For DHL, it is $NZ621 each

yes, but unfortunately they are now in New Zealand!

How is the situation now @LMX ?
See nothing here that there is something gone wrong at the shop, why not?

interesting first post - maybe LMX have more urgent matters to sort out than updating ES?

Honestly, it's well known brain-teaser as to whether the hole in a ring gets bigger or smaller when it's heated. The trick is to mentally uncoil the ring into a rod. When you heat a rod it obviously gets much longer than it does thicker and if re-bent into a ring it would have both a larger outside...

thanks SM!

the above replies are exactly what I thought, logically - until my wife gave her opinion which confused the hell out of me.... Her view is that when metal expands, all the metal will get bigger - so the hole gets smaller. When the metal freezes, all the metal shrinks, so the hole gets bigger. My min...

So, I have a bearing outer ring stuck in a aluminium frame (the swingarm). The bearing has broken, leaving only the outer ring wedged in.

If I put the the swing arm in a freezer - would the aluminium extra contraction make it easy to extract? How brittle would the aluminium become if frozen?

Thanks

thanks AW, great info. Will have a look.

Does anyone where to get a 20s 220v charger, that is reasonable quality?
thanks
