I set the pressures for my weight, set all the dampers to the middle settings, and blazed my own trail through a rough field at 40 kph. It could have been more compliant but I didn't lose control. I can't imagine needing to get a commuter precisely dialed in.

Here's the setup guide I used.

It just started working.

Whoo hoo! My X1 Tool account is activated today!

It's been 3 weeks since I registered my X1 Tool account. 2 weeks since WW looked into the verification delay. 1 week since WW started ignoring me. I hope Innotrace is just on a long vacation. Their software is quite well protected against cracking.

That's great news! Looks like very comparable chain wrap to the M8100. The M8100 would have slightly quicker shifting with the jockey wheel closer to the cassette.

In the radio control speed boat world, we use clear hockey tape to seal the hatch. You have to apply it each time, but it's completely waterproof and easy on the paint.

I didn't know about that and I've been in the app! So, that's what that discharge slider switch does... One more thing for the non-existent user manual. The Xiaoxiang BMS has the capability of enabling the output with a physical switch. I will look into adding one to the internal battery...

The display is DPC18. Double press the "i" button to enter the menu. Allow me to link to a competitor for the user manual. 😂 I found the DPC18 and the 500C battery percentages conservative compared to the charts found online. Kind of like how empty on a gas gauge isn't really empty. I always...

Yes, voltage is correct within 0.1V of my voltmeter. Percentage and the bar-graph gauge is also reasonable for a 52V battery.

Well, I'll be damned. The 500C gauge is displaying correctly for a 52V battery. I have no idea if it's reading that from the motor controller or they're all just stuck on 52V now. They used to only display correctly for 48V batteries.

You're right. A larger chainring would give you less wrap around the cassette. I should have said the difference in that amount between 42T and 44T chainrings would be negligible. I didn't realize my derailleur hanger was bent during shipping until I put the M8100 on. I had to straighten it for...

You can hear the spark sometimes when you insert the battery. That is the huge inrush of current charging the capacitors on the motor controller. It's not great for the connector but should only effect the leading edge. I'd be more concerned if one of your contacts was stretched out more than...

I don't recall skipping complaints from the summer batch. I don't think they had the extra wide cassette. The chainring wouldn't affect cassette skipping.

Cockpit cleanup day! - 2 finger brake levers - 500C display (version 5.2 and they still don't have the battery gauge scaling with the battery voltage setting)

The chainring on my Hydra is 42T. As per a post by Cuz Vinny, earlier bikes came with a 44T. This could explain the recent bout of chainstay damage.

That beats skipping constantly in the three highest cogs with the derailleur that came with the bike. We're all curious which derailler/casette combo you received. Ours were mismatched.

I was going 31 mph in sport 5 and pedalling as hard as I could when the skip happened. BikeComponents.ca has a few.

I tested the M8100 derailleur with the 11-51T cassette. I could only make the 11T skip once on two passes before the battery hit the 50 amp shut down. The B screw is adjusted closer than recommended. This is only a problem if you're pedalling slowly and downshift 4 gears at once causing the cage...

I have an M8100 derailleur coming this week so we can compare notes. A month of rain has left our ground saturated. I'm waiting for it to freeze so I can ride off-road again!
