    What size frame is this? The headtube looks huge.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    If you're only buying bare rims from Farsports, you should deal with them direct instead of through Wheelsfar. Wheelsfar is their website for prebuilt wheels, not custom orders. I can give you my contact's email if you want, she was very helpful before, during, and after my wheel production...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    FarSports will give you all the needed rim dimensions. I had them build my 45mm Kaze front wheel complete using a Carbon Ti hub, so I don't know what the spoke lengths were that they used. My rear rim is a Kaze 58mm. Mahle refused to give me the dimensions on their X35 hub, (It's a huge secret...

    2021 Orbea Gain m20i computer/bicycle synchronization

    I don't see any place on the app to do so. I have an Ebikemotion account, but on the bike section it shows no bikes found. What am I missing? Also, when I login to my Ebikemotion account it takes me to an Orbea portal.

    Have you tried cowboy coffee?

    I watched about 5 minutes of the video, then slapped myself out of the trance and proceeded to my kitchen where I made a cup with my Keurig in about 2 minutes.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Because nobody has been able to do it. These have been out for a few years now, and all we've seen is devices that fake out the controller to think the bike is only going 10mph. And given that as you've experienced, the motor has no ability to assist beyond 21-22mph. Unless someone can show the...

    Ahh-Got it. I've been trying to get Garmin to add power level up and down as D-fly options with the hidden top Di2 hood buttons. They have the function on the GPS itself, so it can't be that hard to add it as one of the button choices. I filed a request with Garmin about 6 months ago, but so far...

    Nice! Are the buttons inboard on the handlebars Di2 sprint shifters?

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I'm pretty sure it's not even possible. I think the limitation of the motor ungoverned is just a bit over 20mph.

    All done. I'll give them a go this week.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    Anybody know what the torque spec is for the cassette locknut/magnet? I can't find that spec anywhere.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    I rebuilt the wheel and moved all spokes so that elbows are all out on the spokes 1X pattern exactly like my factory Mavic wheel is laced. Turned out quite good and got it dished and trued well. Found out it's much easier to use small #2-56 screws in the nipples and install them using the magnet...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    There's advantages and disadvantages either way. Look at the spoke angles into the nipples on 2x and 3x lacing with a hub this large. And then there's spoke elbow/hub stress. That's why Orbea and many wheel builders that specialize in e-bike wheel building prefer 1x. Grin Technologies is one.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    There is more than 1 way to lace a wheel. The wheel builder on the pictured wheels chose a 3X pattern. The factory Orbea Gain lacing is 1X with all spoke elbows to the outside of the flanges.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    Anybody out there have wheel building experience? The factory wheels are Mavic Aksium and are spoked 1X with all the spokes on the outside of the flange both drive and non-drive sides. (Spoke heads in) I purchase a set of Farsports carbon wheels, and they built the front complete and shipped me...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Good question. My stock USA model was like hitting a wall right at 19.5mph. With the tuner, it's really hard to say where the cutoff is since the drop off is so seamless.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    This is not any different than the others that have been discussed here. (Other than the size being rather fat and harder to hide)) All these devices do is intercept the speed signal that the motor sends to the controller and insert a fixed value of 15.9 kph .(9.9 mph) Nothing more technical...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    I found a second hub! A Cannondale dealer in Texas had a new take off rear wheel and X35 hub from a 2019 Treadwell Neo, so I won't need to down my bike while I build the rear wheel. Also, a shout out for Farsports in China. They make a high quality wheel that you can customize, and their...
