Nice to see your bikes and put a voice to your posts via podcast with grindz. Do you have any notes (or threads) regarding work with the Super V headset? Forks, triple tree, etc?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I bought the SuperV as a complete bike, so I haven't touched the front end other than to swap out the wheel. I think the fork has a 7" travel. I really like the adjustment on it to tighten it up for no heavy brake dive. I also like the no worries about somehow snapping the forks off at the crown like I do with a typical fork (as unwarranted as the concern may be), but the limited turning range of the handlebars comes into play when moving it around while off the bike. It also robs some of the space I would otherwise use when I put batts on the downtube.

Thanks John,
Those are beefy forks compared to the original SuperV headshok stuff. 'always looking for info about headsets and related parts for those bikes since that's what I'm now running with 9C kit.
Thanks for sharing the great work!

hehehe. The copy I want to make will have swingarm room for my big hubbies including brake drum cover for mounting the blowers. Then I snag a controller like yours, and go to max voltage. That's over 2100rpm no load and a motor proven to handle current to make controllers cry when sealed, so imagine what it can handle actively blown.
Just because I'm missing the Death Race doesn't mean I can't still have fun. 8)
Then of course there's my monster hubbie I picked up since you were here. 270mm diameter stator with 50mm of laminations. The factory 60V60A controller propels a 300lb lead pig scooter to 45mph, and with 150lb rider up 20% grades. That's the one with dual halls, which will give me a bit of a 2 speed due to the advance timing on the high speed set of halls. Imagine higher voltage and current on 100lb bike.

Wondering what ever happened to your hub as mid project? Quite a few years with no updates... did something fail?
I still dream of building the ultimate cliff climber.

Not my role to answer but don't worry you will know when it is ready to roll :lol: Look at the motor technology thread John is testing his stuff actively. He let a hint he's testing his Hub monster heat wise for a mid application.
You shall not fear fail with a monster hub like his, instead you shall be wary of power overload !

If that ? is directed at me, then yes, I only use fixed sprockets or pulleys at both the motor and wheel on any build I do with the motor out of the wheel, and only direct drive hubbies for in-wheel use, for 2 reasons:
1. Durability- Every freewheeling drive is subject to many times the failure risk, which I've seen first hand. While my builds keep going and going, my buddy continues having failures despite the fact that he weighs almost 30kg less than me and his builds never come close to the performance levels I demand.
2. Simplicity- This goes hand-in-hand with durability, because the more simple the system, the fewer moving parts there are to wear, so if you build it right the first time and adhere to KISS, then the potential for absolute reliability is readily achievable.
(edit)- I really need to update this thread, since it's so far behind that it's nearly pointless. ie No 30kw ebike using a bicycle frame, some really old stuff still running was deleted, no 107mph hubmotor powered Cannodale SuperV, no HubMonster or MidMonster motor builds, etc.
