CYC Photon Gen 2?

[raylo32]

What I would like to see is CYC offering an adapter to offset a 42t just a bit so it will fit in more frames. It wouldn't have to be 9.5mm like for the 32/34t. Maybe 3 or 4mm would work? I hate how bike mfgs have all glommed onto this idea of tiny chainring pockets as if they can't conceive that someone might have a different use case and not want to be locked into a 32, 34, or 36t. There really is no reason except maybe for how it looks.

Efficiency?

Can anybody compare the real world efficiency of the Photon and the Gen 2, preferably using as many similar factors as possible - ideally same frame and battery?

I think I am what you want.
but i didnt use dino
same bike, same everything. I lost the motor
and only change the motor

bike a scapel 2013 lefty model 3 full
white

battery 21700 5A. 14x4 batteries
20A total 52v
photon v1 max 800 to 900 watts thermal throttle under 4km
2k watts thermal throttle under 1km

photon v2 2k watts battery hold less than 200 meters

1700 watts battery and motor holds
I never had a motor thermal throttle

photon v2 is way better to manage temperature
