Monthly maintenance is key. I got a felt pen and put some vertical lines on all my pivot bolts and nuts and now I can check em at a glance to see if anything moves. Of course before that brainstorm I lost a bolt on one side of my lower pivot knuckle on the drive side and broke the support cup...

Larger Q factor more distance between cranks. I think what they mean is lets just say your bottom bracket measures 150mm from inside to inside of your cranks and say a Q16 set of cranks will give you an additional 16mm per side for a total distance of 150+16+16 =182mm between inside faces. Q...

Uh his controller protocol is UART. Bike's about 1 1/2yrs old. The settings that the bike came with were not as good as it could of been. I agree WW adjustable settings are minimal at best. One setting each for Torque, Throttle, Sensitivity Torque, Max Speed Torque, Max Speed Throttle, and...

Sure sure. Q Factor is the distance between the outside of one crank arm to the outside of the other crank arm. How much offset outward from the crank bolt to spin free of the motor as well as not hitting your rear chain stay ( lower rear frame support the cradles the rear wheel. The last Pair I...

Im guessing Biktrix firmware settings for their Ultra motors are similar to a WW Archon X1 perimeter programming. 100% different in programming levels than the original 4 tab option available on the stock bafang firmware. Even the older BBSHD/SO1/SO2 3 tab programming layout is more detailed...

Miranda is a good source for crank arms I have purchased from them in the past. There over in the UK so a weeks wait for those to show up and they don't stock the 160mm size that I prefer. Another company is up in Santa Cruz Cal. and they are called PRAXIS. They make the 160's that I like using...

I was told a long time ago by EH at Luna that the Ultra will take 60v all day long and not blow. Probably why the 52v pack (58.8v fully charged ) is so popular. Read a bit on EP about this motor and they did reference the 63v rating on the stock capacitor. Going to a higher voltage gives you...

I know the Bafang motors are rated for 48v and 52v as seen on the outer housing sticker. I also know that they will operate on either a 48v ( 54.6v max charged ), or 52v ( 58.8v max charged ) battery's. I was also led to believe that the max these motors ( Ultra ) liked was 60v. Would that be...

If your Ultra is "loud as hell" pop the side cover off and check the grease level. A friend got an upgraded WW Archon X1 2300w motor about a year and a half ago and when first riding it I could hear him form a ways away coming up on me so we split the case and discovered minimal grease so we...

Yes it's a specific USB programming cable that only interfaces with the Innotrace software. If you don't have the Archon X1 controller and you have the stock Bafang controller in your G510 then yes a generic USB programming cable will work fine. Of course it has to be UART and not CAN.

Congrats on getting your new ride. I noticed on your build specs the Fox 36 for 29" maxes out a 2.6" tire, a 3" Maxxis minion will work if your looking for more skin. Getting the 29" fork gives you options that the 27.5" model doesen't I'm running a 29" x 3" on the front and a 27'5" x 2.8" on...

Thanks for the review. Glad I bought my Exess a couple of years ago, I feel fortunate. I have since swapped out the 27.5" front tire for a 29" and the Wren fork for a Fox 36 factory. Same travel 160mm but a little smoother. Had to adjust the programming from when I got it as it was backed...

Recieved a response from GBK about swapping the controllers. Dear Mike, No. You cannot just change the controller to change the protocol. The display is different, the EB-BUS is also different for the two protocols. The torque sensors are different too.

UART controllers are NOT compatible with UART motors?? Misprint? So Wattwagon is only retrofitting motors with UART config and not using the newer version CANBUS motors? If the "new" bafang M620 motors are CANBUS but you can still get the UART version why would anybody order the new style if the...

Bare bones UART motor is only $710 at GBK. Quick question. Will the Archon controller mount inside of a Canbus motor? I know they mount inside a UART motor. Anybody have a clear picture of a Canbus and UART controller side by side? Ford/Chevy figures.

Cant you just replace the Canbus controller with a UART model? They got em a greenbikekit.com for like $150. Then just get the USB cable from Amazon for $20 and download the "Frey" for example programing file and tune away. Shouldn't have to purchase a new motor. Maybe I'm wrong but the motor...

If you lived close by I have an extra Shimano SLX BR-M7120 4 piston caliper just sitting in my parts box I would just give ya. But the pads for these things are like $50 per caliper and shipping to the far north probably wouldn't be worth it for you. If you really like the bike drop a couple...

Ok

I hear ya. But a bike at that price point isn’t going to have quality parts, it just won’t. I‘m guessing some no-name brand for the brake set? I see the “upgrade” are the tektro’s. What does that tell you. Just drop it off at the bike shop and hopefully your $3,700 bike will only cost ya another...

Quick update. Parts ended up getting stuck in US customs for a couple of weeks but I received everything on the 20th of July so about a month to ship. Got spare bolts, dropouts, axles, pivot etc so hopefully won’t have to go through this again. Anybody Else that purchased one of these bikes...
