    BBSHD on a 2016 Giant Trance 2

    I made a custom 3D printed battery that attaches to the frame via the bottle holder screws and brackets on the top for stability. Case is made of CFPLA, super strong, almost unbreakable since I used generous thickness. Samsung 30Q in a 14s4p configuration — gives me plenty of power and range and...

    Yup, I had to get the 100mm one. It is indeed awesome fun! Soooo worth it. Good luck!

    That would have been the easy way, but unfortunately my display doesn't have a USB port.

    After about 100 miles of trail riding (somewhat hard) my stock crank arms started to get loose during a ride. Kept on tightening it, but eventually, the pedal ate up all the threads, then fell out, could barely make it home. Looked into replacements and found these awesome Shimano FC-E6000 ones...

    Yes, the box is designed and 3D printed by me

    The box is fairly strong. It's 4mm thick and I also wrapped in 10mm foam padding when it's in the backpack. Give the coiling a go, it works pretty well. Other methods I've seen is to boil the wire on the stick for 5 minutes, take off the fire, then leave it soak for another 30 mins - then cool...

    And finally, the last piece of the puzzle... Made this coiled wire from 12AWG speaker cables and a pair of XT90 connectors. The coiling was done by wrapping the wire really tight on a stick, pouring a half a gallon of boiling hot water over it, then putting it in the freezer for 20 mins...

    A couple pictures of my DIY 13s7p battery pack. I used salvaged Samsung 26F cells with a 30A BMS.

    Very cool! I might do that with my rear cassette as well... I'm still waiting on cables so I can take it out on a ride!

    More 3D printed parts. I made cable mounts for the front derailleur mount and one under the seat for the power cables.

    So I have this awesome MTB from Giant, but I've been getting the electric itch. I've been ogling at the Luna Giant bikes and thought to myself, if they can do it to these production bikes then it should be possible to do it to mine too. I've been reading up and down on the forums to get some...
