I measure my fat Christini spider at 32.8 mm from the base to the face of the outer ring position, 29.1mm to the face of the spiders' inner ring position (3.7mm thick) but I don't have a Bafang spider to compare. When I lock my caliper to 70.01mm (I can never get it perfect) put one end on the...

I'll just say this. I've been waiting on just a motor/X1 order since mid-July. I received an email 2 days after my order giving me a 2-week lead time. Few weeks passed with no update, I reached out a few times and got a response - another 2-3 weeks, motors were delayed. A simple order update...

So I tried digging through Miranda's new site but they don't have their charts on every crank arm page like they used to - but I did find the chart. Note the 'FB' versions are for fatbikes. I ordered 2 pair - a 152mm Q:16 & a 170mm Q:8 FB and they both clear the Christini + Wolftooth 30T on...

Wow, caught up on this thread. Rainy weekend and can't sleep so I figured why not do some reading. I've seen E of L recommend to someone on reddit who had their bike stolen to carry one of those CO₂ bb handguns to brandish at thieves - really don't have any respect for the guy after that kind of...

@scrambler I recall watching the WW videos with Pushkar explaining the balancing between cadence & torque sensor input. IIRC the lower eco modes where wholly torque sensor and the sport modes leaned heavily into cadence sensing. It's reassuring to hear that it can be set up to be nice and...

@Deacon Blues I know KWSeattle replaced the hall sensor in their throttle with SS49E and got better response out of that. Not bad for a sub-$4 part. I'm kind of disappointed in the response of the motor if it takes half a revolution at the crank to get going... I thought part of the benefit of...

Great to hear it all works! My M9000 shifter came in and I was able to set it up on the bike with the derailleur and from another thread it looks like my X1 should be in the next round of orders, as always just waiting on motors. Honestly if a stick or twig would fly up into it with enough oomf...

@Deacon Blues good to see you got it up & running and your issues mostly solved. Hopefully the 48T helps with your speed but if you still get some skipping that's a big bummer. Wider Q factor that what fits you wouldn't goof your knees up as much as it would your hips - to me at least the bigger...

@Fast n' Furious you can't stay on the topic of bicycles so the conversation isn't productive, you've clearly got bigger things on your mind. You can plug in different numbers where that '3' was in the bike calc tool and see yourself how it changes. It is the increments in cadence through the...

@Fast n' Furious you're all over the place with this. I never blamed anybody for anything regarding their IGH, I don't know the situation regarding Kindernay failures or how those cases were resolved (as I've already stated), and I already posted an email response I received directly from the...

@Deacon Blues if the chain was properly sized with the original setup on the bike then that combo may work out without needing to change the chain length. According to Park Tool with a 1x, you wrap the chain over the largest rear cog and the front chainring without snaking through the derailleur...

@Fast n' Furious I think you're misunderstanding me when I say proper shifting technique I mean in spefic regards to bicycles not racecars... proper shifting technique is 100% a real thing for regular bicycles and people have destroyed derailleurs under human power by not practicing proper...

50T will give you nice cruising speed! My 50T ring clears my swing arm by just a teeny amount mounted outboard of the spider without any spacers, a little too close for comfort for me. FWIW I was cruising comfortably around 24-26mph on 42x11, maybe asking 150-180W from the motor with me...

@Fast n' Furious I think at some point you're asking an electric bicycle to do electric dirtbike things and it becomes unreasonable to expect them to hold up for conditions they weren't designed for. If I wanted 5kW I'd get something like a Sur Ron frame and drop in a water-cooled Cascadia...

Out at Source Lake I bumped into two dudes last year just walking it up and snowboarding down, looked pretty fun but they were beat after just a few runs. They just rode their boards back to the main Snow Lake trail and it was pretty nice, packed down and cut a fairly wide little trail that was...

@Jon A the Nextie's I've got on order are the 95mm ones and I've been wondering about the chain clearing the 2XL's too (though not until after I bought them, as is tradition). I had expected them to ship this past week (fits lead time they gave me & the timing of my last order with them) but I'm...

@Deacon Blues if your display looks like this it's the 750C here's a thread including link to manual for it The K-VII is 428% range, I don't recall where I saw the specific ratios but its top end is higher than the XIV's - I am speed I have no idea how the Onesie shifter would add $600 to the...

I guess this is really the crux of the situation. My guess would be pedal a little slower than you need to travel at whatever speed you're going at so you can rotate the cassette without actually putting too much force through the wheel (cassette has to want to spin faster than the wheel is...

Aye I edited my dumb comment because I mixed up the numbers (didn't recheck the diagram in #78 before posting) - that 70mm on the outside of the Bafang fat spider is for a 190mm hub. Looks like I may need spacers to clear 197mm - I have no idea if the Christini fat spider is the same offset as...

@Fast n' Furious Bafang fat spider puts the chainring offset at 75mm 70mm (I wasn't looking at the right number) when the chainring is in the little big ring position (inboard outboard the spider) according to this Bikerumor article optimal chainline for 190mm is 70-72mm, making 75mm about right...
