    A BBSHD Killer? Here comes the CYC Photon

    I like the torque sensor, light weight, and quiet operation Its probably running a nylon gear to achieve that quietness ? Rated up to 1000w which would be enough for me. However the 40 amp controller with 52V battery would deliver up to 2000w ?

    What's NOT said about Suntour NCX seatpost

    After a few 100km's with the Brooks B17 and NCX seatpost I've changed the seat mount position back to standard from reversed. This positions the mount further rearwards, and I run the Brooks B17 seat set forward in the mount. As mentioned by others, the Brooks B17 seat rails will rub against...

    What's NOT said about Suntour NCX seatpost

    So far I prefer mine with the NCX seat mount reversed, more fwd position. I'm 182cm 70 kg, Cannondale Trail 7, casual urban riding with a few dirt roads. I'll review it further when I've tested it more.

    Thanks for the reply @Avg_Joe I reversed the seat mount and couldnt really tell if the spring felt stiffer or not. Took a few pics for those interested. For the sag adjustment, the manual recommends 1/3 of travel. Full length of the exposed suspension rod is 24.25mm, less around 3mm for the...

    Great info Avg_Joe I'm currently experimenting with my new Suntour NCX suspension seat post, and have a Brooks B17 saddle on the way, so could be using your seat mount reversal mod. Couple of questions for you, or anyone else that wants to chime in. With the mount reversed as per your pic...

    Thanks for that. I think I'd want the 12T for the 29" wheels, especially for the 32km mountain road nearby that I mentioned before.. All a bit hard at the moment with availability and shipping costs. Still considering the BBS02 or HD mid drive too, which are easily available.

    I note Eunorau list a MAC motor kit, but only the 8T version. I'm going for 29 inch wheels so assume the 10T or 12T would be best for that ? Anyway, might be useful for those after the MAC without regen. Eunorau MAC conversion Kit

    Thanks for that info. I hear that a lot about choosing the BBSHD over the BBS02B and I wont rule it out. I weigh 70kg/154lbs, so not too heavy. My rationale for considering the BBS02b was its supposed to have less problems with the controller than the BBS02 ? Sounds like the MAC would also do...

    Looking at various options to convert a 29er hardtail mtb to an ebike. Donor bike yet to be sourced. I live in a fairly flat area except for a nearby national park that rises to 1000m elevation via a very picturesque 32km sealed road. So I need something that can climb. My research so far has me...
