@scrambler they're aluminum so I wouldn't think they'd want to flex an awful lot, but if you could flatten them they probably won't want to flex back. I don't like non-permanent adhesives on finished surfaces though so I would opt for the little plastic cable guide clips meant for brazed or...

If you want some little snappy thingies to fix your cables together that still allows for some movement & manipulation of the cable in the clip, Jagwire 4mm/5mm & 4mm/4mm cable hooks are really great! More expensive than zip tires of course but they're easily removable and reusable. They also...

Probably won't fit on the 8100 - not listed on there at least. If the length, axlie diameter/length/pitch, pulley position, and stopper pin placement are the same then you could try it out, but you definitely want to check for interference through the range of motion. The cage is a crazy close...

@Lsthrz I hate you for getting the green cage! A reminder of my own failure when ordering my frame. I came to regret getting blue before it even shipped, I should have gone glossy green so I could name my bike The Green Bastard... the Magura & DVO hardware woul have matched too... next build...

I've been had! Good news is if you prefer the 8100 and still want some bling I believe Garbaruk has 14T pulleys for the 12s derailleurs. I think if you're just looking for the pulleys you have quite a few aftermarket options Once again, I can't emphasize this enough I'm not affiliated with...

@Lsthrz take some pictures and compare the 8100 cage to the Garbaruk cage if you haven't had the opportunity to cancel your order for the Garb when they arrive. More than likely a very similar position of the guide pulley (the one closest to the cogs in the cassette) @Deacon Blues look at how...

@kwseattle the M8000 shifter determines the range & spacing, so the 12spd derailleur would only have the range of movement to cover 11 gears, at 11-spd spacing. I'm not up to date on everything but I think all Shimano derailleurs use the exact same pull ratio so they can be mix n matched - that...

To @TDA78 's point about multiple shifts causing skipping - some of the ebike specific shifters limit shifting to 1 click at a time to prevent this. I know the EX1 does this, I think the M8130 does as well. While the motor can spin fast happily or deliver max torque from a standstill, still...

Chain length guide from our friends at Park Tool. Note they do chain length without snaking it through the derailleur pulleys

Good to hear Pushkar is making it right as he should. I know he doesn't want to deliver improperly assembled bikes so regardless of the cause of a goof like this it shouldn't be on the customer to fix it. Going to a smaller range cassette will help because you could adjust the B screw to get the...

Aye I forgot to add, if you peep the diagram in this thread on ES you can see the fatbike spider is 22mm offset from the standard. Credit goes to Daxxie for that post

@Deacon Blues rough luck! Keep an eye his ebay store profile. Doesn't look like he has any up there but that's where I found them in stock when his site's store did get the stock status updated. Stay strong! You can try with just spacers and longer chainring bolts but that's not ideal. There's...

Using the b-screw to get nice and close to the little cog should help with skipping but there's definitely a limit to what can be asked of such a tiny cog, but cool to hear it's mostly solved. My chainring came in the other day and it looks like I need some 2.5mm spacers to get the chainring on...

@Rome I was just busting your balls, enjoying a little entertainment has helped me pass the time while my order draws ever nearer to shipping, and I do agree the issue should be acknowledged & some extra care should be taken to ensure it doesn't happen to anymore bikes shipped out. It would be...

Looks like the Christini is the way to go. Chainring inside the spider for 177mm, outside for 197mm. The way the Wolftooth mounts on my spider it's looking like I may have to grab little spacers to get it on the outside of the spider with clearance. It has offsets built into the chainring for...

I will take my paycheck from WW in the form of 1 (one) shipping confirmation for my order 😄 glad to hear this got it sorted, just leaves the question as to what happened with the chainline stuff on these recent bikes in the first place. I've already let work know I will be playing in the...

@Jon A hell yea, apparently a lot of people ride ebikes at Tiger mountain too but I don't remember whether it was officially permitted or not. I think Change Peak may be the closest snow you could get from the greater Seattle area - the trail also supposedly goes down to Change Lake according to...

@Lsthrz take note the eccentric pulley on the Wolfcage won't work the same with the Garbaruk pulley in its stead - you may want to check the fit with the stock pulley on the Wolfcage as well as it may not be big enough to take the 16T pulley. Oh wait I just read you have the full Garb setup on...

Deacon did you try flopping your chainring outboard? Even without the spacers it should help the situation and if it does then you could surmise that the spacers to get it set properly would correct it completely. You shouldn't need the cage for skipping but more for getting enough engagement on...

@Leon S. Kennedy Gates drives are incredibly unforgiving on lateral & angular alignment - 0.5° & 0.25° There are other belt drive systems (including split belts) that have higher tolerances for misalignment - I think it probably in part has something to do with how the cogs keep the belt on...
