Is that a CYC battery? And a Double Bob mounting for it?

yep, A52L, mounted on the rear bottle mount + the cyc supplied hd straps. the thing stays solid on red downhill descents
i strapped my a52L rail below the downtube as well, posted it earlier. except, used ratchet straps

Where did you see this?
Oh no, just realized it’s held by zip ties. To each their own but mine has broken off with the zip ties supplied

I think these new bikes will come with it, interesting, I was looking for something in between the loud x1 and the photon gen 2

Hehe I dig but the pressure on them is insignificant, that little fender is 5 grams and they are tied loose, just to stay nice

Probably should start a new thread for it. It looks like he got the 42t standard chainring on there, but I saw in one video frame that there was *very* little clearance. That is my pet peeve with all these build videos... these details are critical. The small pockets for chainrings on modern bikes and the small triangle space for battery on dual susp MTBs makes bike selection critical. I wish the mods here could create a thread that would catalog bike brands/models/sizes and what fits on them and if any modifications were made to the standard motor chainline. Maybe gleaned from build reports. Although there is very little clearance for the chainring and shock I wouldn't mind duplicating this build... but Ghost are not available here in the States.
The most similar thing that exists is the builds channel in the cyc builds discord comprising of 1k+ builds with tags and links to the original posts. Sometimes the modification details are included in their descriptions but it's not always available nor easily obtainable from the owners. For gathering the chainring clearance on bikes, that's also been attempted with a 36T hardcore hardtails list but even that alone is very slow to grow due to limited information out there. The owners of some builds are also not clear with the amount of spacers used if at all and which side. For now you can just search the bike in the builds list and try to talk to the owner of the facebook/reddit/forum/youtube/discord post
I guess this will be the thread for the Photon Pro ?

I don't know if you are still around, but if so, tell us how this build is holding up. I am looking at Banshees myself for a Photon or Pro build, maybe Phantom, but probably Anomaly hardtail. I am very curious how you got that 42t chainring on the Phantom. On the bike builder at Stash Cycles they offer nothing bigger than 36t for either of these frames and they straight out told me that they doubted a 42t would fit due to interference with the chainstay.
