    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    The new software is fine? I read somewhere about using a phone to upgrade instead of a PC and cable, but I don't know if that is really a thing yet.

    Being able to have a longer trailing assist would be useful at times.. Maybe an on the fly push button for getting through tight rocks where pedals strike?

    Ebike-Specific Chain Versus Regular Chain for Mid-Drive Ebike (Pictures!)

    Great post. I have always followed the old motorcycle mechanic method of checking the chain pull away from the rear sprocket. Any link lifting from the largest sprocket indicates that the chain is too stretched and will begin rapid wear to the teeth of the sprockets. As soon as I see...

    Air inversion layer- dark and foggy in the valley's and beautiful sunshine above 3500' I rode my TwoSeven powered bike to the top, because it has not been used in a couple of months. My Yamaha Moro 07 has been getting all the rides. Observations: 1) The DM01 is WAY overpowered for this...

    Changes planned for my new Yamaha YDX Moro 07

    I put a touch of grease under the bolt head and left the washer to caliper dry. Without it, every time I tightened the bolts, the caliper moved slightly. Locktight on the bolts too.

    Agree- I had to adjust front and rear calipers. I just installed my first replacement rear pads.. They do not last for very long when doing big downhills.

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    I have a 1x11 Sram on a DM01 at 60v, but installed an ebike rated chain on it and a shift sensor. The drivetrain is holding up well for all but my cassette, which has loosening rivets. (soon to be replaced with a solid unit) I think I damaged the cassette by riding the bike when it was first...
