The biggest problem with Truckrun is parts/service availability outside of China. There is no North American distributor for Truckrun so everything needs to be obtained from Truckrun directly or from a Chinese distributor.

I seem to recall you briefly made mention of a "Fate" (sp?) model in addition to the existing Drop and Kope models. The quick shot of the frame I saw seemed to indicate a suspended rack similar to what R&M does with their Delite models. Any more info on this?

One of the reasons I went for an EggRider - you can set it up to 10 levels of PAS if you want.

I will say this is my main complaint with the Reention Dorado-style packs - the 2.5mm barrel adapter is pretty weak/cheap. If you can talk to your suppliers, Roshan, I'd recommend they use a better (standards-based) charging plug that can handle greater amperage.

If the brake rotor was bent (assuming this is the rear wheel) then that would seem to indicate there was some damage during shipping. It could be the wheel itself might be out of true or the cassette was also damaged (e.g. bent cogs, etc.) If this is the case then I would say that's the...

The derailleur is the mechanism which is responsible for moving your chain over the cassette gears. If it is not setup correctly your shifts will not happen, skip, be rough, push the chain off the cassette, etc. You don't need to necessarily understand how to adjust it yourself although I...

I have a 2019 Juggernaut Ultra just so you know my frame of reference.... 1) Sounds like you're interested in commuting more than off-road. Unless otherwise specified Biktrix ships their bikes with knobby off road tires but I bet Roshan can set you up with road/hybrid tires if you ask. On my...

The key with EggRider is to make sure to keep your app and firmware up-to-date. For example, my Android OS recently updated which meant all my apps wanted to update themselves (including the EggRider app). At that point the app had problems talking to the EggRider. I then updated the EggRider...

"I keep blowing my head gasket when I continuously stay on the red line" = "hey doc - why does my arm hurt when I do this (*insert crazy contortion*)?" I hear SpaceX uses iconel and exotic alloys for their turbine impellers - worth a shot!

I have a Biktrix Ultra 1000 (with the Bafang MM 510.1000 Ultra motor) and I will say I have zero issues with my cassettes (Shimano 10 speed as shipped) getting chewed-up. First of all, yes, Biktrix tunes the programming so it's much smoother than the stock configuration. Second of all my bike...

The Bafang software sucks IMHO but it gets the job done. Get yourself an EggRider - does everything the Bafang software does except from your phone.

They absolutely work with the Ultra as I'm using it with my Ultra. Here's the official compatibility list.

I have a Biktrix Juggernaut with the Bafang Ultra motor (MM G510.1000) and swapped the stock Bafang DPC-18 display for an EggRider - works like a champ! Just make sure you order the Bafang version when ordering the EggRider. Bafang's controller firmware (and third-party displays) are their...

You can get your own wheelset from another vendor/shop as long as the hub spacing is the same. I can recommend Lace Mine 29.

I'm a bit shorter than you by a couple of inches and have the same bike. The fit should be fine for you as long as you set your saddle height accordingly. I'm also running 29 x 3 wheels so that adds to the frame height a bit.
