Without getting into the nitty gritty between the two, essentially the UART protocol allows you to plug in a conventional programming cable to rewrite parameters on the controller. The Canbus protocol does allow parameters to be configured. But must be done with the BESET tool. This tool is not...

Lol. Ask me that once I've made more 😅

Can I add this one to the list? Pretty please!!!! 🥺

I figured, this would be the best thread to share this on. The full video will drop soon. Hopefully, this has peaked your interests 👍🏿

It is worth mentioning @PatriciaK, that not all 26x2.35 tyres are the same in terms of overall width when pumped up. From experience, Schwalbe tyres tend to be smaller than Maxxis or Continental. Notwithstanding, tyre tred and carcass thickness will increase the girth of the tyre as well...

Schwalbe Smart Sams would be a good option. Yes, technically it is a mountain bike tyre but that's not a bad thing. The added protection within the carcass will prevent punctures. In addition, the tyres are more XC focused. So they'll roll more quicker. Another honourable mention would be the...

Like most things, most ebike components are water resistant. Externally mounted controllers always poses a risk of vulnerability. The best practice (I find), is to ensure that any water which 'could' envelop a particular area is treated to ensure that water or moisture can exit or escape. I've...

Generally, you'd pick your tyres indicative of your environment, terrain and season. 26" tyres are available by a lot of brands (Maxxis, Schwalbe, Kenda, Continental etc). If you could explain where you typically ride, we could reccomend the best suited tyre for your needs 👍🏿

Well, what do you know!! You can get the DPC-18 display in Canbus. I wonder if the 500c will be given a Canbus protocol as well?

So this is interesting 🤨 https://uk.biktrix.com/pages/monte-capro-lite So I imagine that their is a separate thread regarding the new Biktrix Monte Capro lite. However my fascination is more concerning the fact that its using the M600 motor and using the DCP18 display Now for those of you who...

Just out of curiosity but can anyone tell me whether it is truly beneficial to use the Royal Blood mineral oil with Magura brakes instead of traditional shimano mineral oil. Yes, yes. I'm aware that they are different in terms of viscosity. But I've usually used shimano mineral oil for all of...

I see you point @tomjasz. To be fair, Luna have done very well with understanding the Bafang system (they are a credit to a lot of us Bafang fans). But I do acknowledge that a lot of third party developers who have cracked the bafang systems to create their products, must have had input from...

I'll do my utmost but publications from Bafang (I.e. Bafang, not an affiliate), are somewhat notorious to obtain deep searches on the net. But a comprehensive wiring schematic of the M600 (and other bafang motor) shouldn't be too difficult (its a good thing I know how to use Adobe illustrator...

I've been meaning to chime in on this thread as I'm aware that the concerns of many have led those to question which out of the bafang M-Series motors to consider, subject to application denoted to each respective motor. In addition, the 'soon to be released' M510 motor, may also confuse those...

So out of curiosity, I decided to increase the travel on the Freedom (my 29er bafang Ultra emtb which I built a while back). Originally, it had 140mm travel front and rear running on 27.5 wheels. I opted to run the Freedom as a 29er mid year and decided to play around with it more before...

YESSS!!! And they're even offering frame only options ⚒

Wow!!! This thread really does delve into ebike batteries. I'm gonna keep a watchful eye on this thread so I can pick up some pointers. Truth be told, I generally stick to battery designs which I'm use to. I.e. Reention Darado. But with new ebikes which I'm building, I'll need to strip one to...

Magura brakes have always had a tendency to be slightly tricky to bleed. There are tutorial videos on how to do it. But generally (and like most things), you get better at it the more you have to do it. My only recommendations would be, 1. Use one type of mineral oil (Magura Royal blood or...

Thanks for that @Timpo. @Syscokid, I meant to tag you in the Magura mt5e recommendation but Timpo's kindly provided you a link. Shimano would be a good option as well (although, I've not seen 2pin higu style shimano brakes before. Usually 3pin). Still, theirs options out there👍🏿

Magura MT5E. Granted, magura brakes can be tricky to bleed if you're not use to them but they would serve you well @Timpo 👍🏿
