Impressive durability! What are you lubricating the chain with?

Good point on the hollow pin types of chain for an e bike. I will ck out the SRAM GX too.

Is the KMC model e12 the strongest chain available for mid drive conversions on 12 speeds? I have been reading in the forum archives of multiple chain, cluster, pawl and derailer failures on stronger mid drives. I plan on putting the ToSeven 1000w / 160nm mid drive in my current fat tire...

Johnny 5 tires and similar stud selections to the website I already shared above; https://www.terrenetires.com/collections/studs

Thanks. Nice tire and bike! I found these more aggressive bicycle studs that insert with a push tool, instead of using an insertion gun or screw in type. They only offer 4.6" wide on this webpage that I noticed anyway. https://bikestud.com/collections/studs Not very deep knobs on the...

Looks like a lot of fun! Nice- What model is your bike? I am converting a bike with 3"- 27.5" tires now as sort of a cross over enduro sort of thing. I have lots of long and snowy BLM and FS roads that I ski or snowshoe on different climbs. A wide tire snow machine like your build would...

TSDZ8 tear down with some measurements and Bafang BBS parts compared.

Tire dumpers were caught on a hidden camera a few miles above my house. I rode up yesterday to verify that they had collected their dumped tires. As you can see... they lied. They have been given another chance to get the tires or they become social media infamous.... The rad powerbike and...

Sounds like the package will support 36-70v, 500-1000w, with the next case design coming with cooling fins. There is talk of making the software open source. I am going to buy the next version.

I only shared the video.. not the creator of it. As far as noise goes- low noise seems to be one of its strong suits. Check out 6:17 of this video for a brief explanation on sound output;

Used and higher quality machines.

My motorcycling years have accustomed me to their use so I dont mind it at all. If on a nice pedal road bike.. it would be an issue for me though. I will look into the radar device. It would be very useful on my duel sport motorcycles where I spend a lot of time standing and need to know...

I seem to be a collection of many of these sorts of automated errors... too many years of repetition of the errors I guess. The mirrors will just have to duke it out or look menacing upon other mirrors if mounted solo..😆

Howdy I have been reading and learning about different conversions and have decided to buy a few sub $500 downhill and fat bikes to practice and experiment upon before building a "nice" bike to own and ride. Who on this forum has already done this? Do you have a few tips? I am looking at...
