The motor controller doesn't know what display is connected to it, it only knows what parameters have been set via the display cable input. For ECO to be some kind of "factory preset" would mean that on power-up it always resets at least parameters in the Ultra motor controller. I strongly doubt...

There's no known mechanism, even on the BBS, for those parameters to restrict the max speed. Starting with a low current shouldn't matter, assuming you have enough pedal time to get up to speed, and both Keep Current and Current Decay only when not pedaling. Important for me in my testing was...

99 No, it is independent of that. It corresponds to wheel rpm. I believe (but am not 100% sure) that it's independent of Basic Tab's Wheel Diameter.

You can't have a different cadence while having the same bike speed unless the pedal pressure is also different, so I don't know how one creates a cadence-only change. The motor doesn't know what display you have, and the display doesn't have any active input into what the motor does. The...

Please see upthread for posts that indicate most of the parameters on this tab have no effect with the Ultra:

That may be so - I didn't show my "just math," so I'd have to recreate it from scratch. However, actual RPM doesn't matter so I probably won't bother unless there's a reason. Start Current and Keep Current are on the Pedal tab. Here's my post on that...

From the link in the first post: Does the display show correct speed? Gen1: correct. Gen2–Gen4: half actual speed (technical limitation). Is the odometer accurate? No, after unlocking, mileage may be undercounted on Gen2–Gen4. Seems to be spoofing wheel sensor speed. I don't know how the...

Jones have a lot of sweep but SQLab have some with moderate sweep: https://www.sq-lab.com/en/product-category/bike-handlebars

Your words, not mine. If you weren't taking this personally, you wouldn't be trying to put words into my mouth.

talk about not letting it die...

Yes, really. You are way over-hyping with terms like "magic" and"no wear" and "not showing any wear", and people need to be aware that your hyperbole is not factual, and your claims of "top coat" and "sealing" have no theoretical support (which was not pointed out by me, btw). You also haven't...

That's not what I said. I said they don't enable measurement of incremental wear. Sure, they work for Go/No-Go of wear at 0.5%, some of them also at 0.75% Your point was that the combo of these products is "Magic" and resulted in "virtually no wear." Right not scientific, just magic, lol...

In my mind, it’s more the large number of variables involved and the difficulty of rigorous testing that will make this search never ending. From metallurgy of the chains to how lube is applied to conditions it is operated in to the time it takes to do a long enough term test, etc. There is no...

You've posted this in like 2 threads now, but you're using chain checkers that are themselves unable to measure chain wear accurately, and not at all below a 0.5% threshold (and then nothing additional until 0.75% is reached). Using those checkers, you can't honestly say "zero wear" since...
