    Zen Photon Ultra - limited version (Bafang Ultra, Rohloff Speed hub, Gates belt drive)

    Good luck with that. . . Bafang has dangled the ability to adjust the CANbus version for a few years now and no one yet (vendor or user) has posted any success. Is your BESST Tool working with the motor? The UART version is easily tuned and a smooth ramp up is easily achieved. Though I have...

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    I confirmed that it does in fact have the quiet gears with GBK at the time of the order. I believe all 3rd quarter 2023 and beyond should be quiet gears. Whats the letter in the middle to end of the serial number and the following digits? Z = 2025 Y = 2024 X = 2023 . . . etc...

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    Thanks... Good to know! Not that I plan on replacing rotors but both of my motors now have that model number and a production date of mid August 2022. So does the new motor being delivered from GBK with a production date of May 2024 What was the date on the non_compatible controller?

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    That's interesting... I hadn't heard that some controllers are compatible with the C961 and/or couldn't be synchronized. How can you determine? Older ones? To get the quiet gears I'm swapping a complete motor... Not worth getting into the weeds and all that extra work for a few dollars. Plus I...

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    Yeah I waited 1000 mi before opening up a new motor but I found everything OK and though skimpy.. an adequate amount of factory grease. Since my new motor will be arriving not installed in a bike... I may open it up on the bench.

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    Why not increase the distance between the tire and fender? They still work well with a few inches of clearance. Don't sweat it... I guarantee you cream yourself the first ride on the MotoX Just go low PAS/ low gear when it gets sloppy. Still be careful as there is no one tire for all...

    No reviews for that item but the seller had reviews... All negative. Free returns is just that and one allowed per order. In the US we ship it local... I'm guessing to be sold on Amazon. Bought my BBS02B on Ali for $850. All went well and they sent a decent battery. Samsung cells and the...

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    I understand that... But just because Schwalbe is good doesn't mean Kenda is bad. And who really gives a f$@& about your budies. I've used both and like both. There's lots of good tires... Continental, Perelli, Michelin.. etc... etc... etc People get blind by what the buy/do and can't seem to...

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    Well Kenda started in Taiwan 1962...so schwalbe is late to the game. They're not novice The Kwick Drumlin is an excellent tire if you ride as I do 80/20 - road/off road. That said I never mounted an easier tire than the Al Grounder 27.5 x 2.6

    Kwick Drumlin BEYOND THE ROAD The Kwick Drumlin E-Bike certified urban bike tire is hard to beat: K-Shield protection and a long lasting compound make it a reliable companion. Burly side knobs give confidence and grip on wet or loose conditions. Approved for use up to 50km/h...

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    I opted for the Schwalbe Al Grounder and so far I'm liking everything about them with 450mi of use. The Johnny Watts were a little better off road but I hated them on pavement. I'm finding the Schwalbe chart reliable I had a set of Kenda Kwick Drumlin that have a tread pattern similar to...

    I get it... Just stating yours is an extreme example. You can't blame the snake for biting you... He told you he was a snake.

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    Well of course... that's an off road racing tire typically used for a bike that's transported to the trails to compete. That's from one extreme to the other... and knobbies come in a wide variation as well... Even nobbly 🤣

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    >4000mi on my current motor and it's working perfectly. Opened it up at 1000mi to grease it with Mobil SHC100 and everything looked fine at that point. The motor is quieter now then when new and I have the older motor predating the release of the "quiet gears". My order is for another project...

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    Range is probably the last consideration when selecting a tire....and impossible for others to quantify with all the variables. That said I've switched out nobby to a more street tread several times now and I'm never disappointed. Ride quality and noise level improve and pavement handling is a...

    Ali Express deals

    They've got some good deals but like ebay you need to vet the seller. Only buy from those with lots of positive feedback... that offer free returns and have been in business a while. Many times they're selling exactly what you see on Amazon I'm consistently getting things delivered in about 7...
