I took my 92 miata from stock to 180RWHP to 220RWHP and finally a fully built motor pushing 270RWHP, this is over 10 years of ownership Looking back the 180 version was the best compromise for street and track. The 270 version turned out to be a dedicated track car with racing slicks and was...

Yes, I agree biking has always been more than a hobby but so have many other things Biking in Corpus Christi is pretty lame. If you do a google on it they talk about 2 1.5mile trailso_O. Hardly any of the roads have any bike lanes and most texas motorist are not very considerate of cyclist...

My final post It looks like my days of ebiking are over. I have decided to retire and move to the texas gulf coast(corpus christi) and spend the rest of my life surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding and fishing. Bikes are not very well thought of out there and there is no bike considerations on...

Grin All-Axle update The motor was all packed up and returned to Grin. Im convinced something in the integrated torque/pas sensor is the problem. I tried negotiating with this in mind to knock off some $$ off the price (torque sensor is more $ than pas only) but they didnt seem to bite...

I would be interested in your setup when you figure it out. I have played with several dual motor setups using the grin tools, would be fun to play with. All my single motor ebikes are just fine and exceed my expectations but Im a bored engineer with lots of free time and an ebike hobby. Have...

Definately invest in statorade, you might not need it for your commute but its so easy to do. You can always use the Grin Trip Simulator to see how the RH212 would perform for you. https://ebikes.ca/tools/trip-simulator.html Change the input from 'manual plot' to 'google maps' and select your...

I do know what spoke/nipple noise sounds like, very distinctive noise. The noise only occurred when pedaling with the motor engaged

Grin All Axle update Grin responded pretty quickly with some things to change/verify but I am back running the RH212 and erider BB. I dont feel like swapping out motors over and over and am just going to return it. I dont think the motor was locking up as much as trying to apply maximum regen...

Grin All Axle Install Issues I have been struggling getting the Grin All Axle motor installed in my Surly Bridge Club. The biggest install issue is the torque arm mount. It either interferes with a a rear brake line zip tie mount or just barely fits with the mount turned around front/back. In...

They are most likely throwaway if you got to a bike dealer. There are videos on youtube by www.ebikemotorrepair.com showing Brose motor repair. As I recall they use better bearings in some cases. For a broken belt, you can order a belt and belt tensioning tool. I plan on doing that if/when...

Bridge Club RH212 updates As mentioned previously, I bought a Surly Bridge Club frameset to play around with hub drives again (second time I have owned one). At the time I purchased the frameset I was thinking of revisiting a Nine Continent RH212 DD hub motor with statorade I have lying around...

Surly Bridge Club/Grin All Axle Motor Build While my two Soma Juice 29 with mid drives (BBSHD and DM01...LOVE IT) are great bikes for my needs and all that I I really need, I wanted to play with the new Grin All Axle DD Motor and just ordered one. It will be going on a Surly Bridge Club with...

If you want a more stealthy mirror the corky is great and folds away when not needed Corky Urban

Wait what? How dare anyone question Stefan (i.e. a self taught bike fitter)...what is the world turning into Stefan is right in that you put more weight on your butt when you raise the bars...no question there, simple physics. It doesnt mean you shouldnt try different things. If you are...

Kudos to Grin for the video, spoke calculator and custom length spokes. I have built 5 hub motor wheels for my myself and friends. I did invest in all the tools (park stand, park spoke wrenches, park tension gauge) and I have built all my own wheels since (10 so far). Paid for itself
