Joined yesterday but forgot my Galaxy Watch so I didn't record my 10 mile trail ride!

Yeah, SLA is super nice for that! Support material and DFM for FDM printing certainly is a pain. I have thought about using Stew's garage but damn, just a little more $ and a mechanic will do all of the work for me... since they can do the job faster it would probably be similar cost. Also any...

Yeah that sounds more like an ideal situation lol. I just emailed Magura USA to see if they'll help, I'll also email back Starbike and ask if there can be a resolution without me mailing it back first. Which vendor did you go through? I have PNW Loam grips on now and I really like them, I am...

Gotcha, I'm not sure I would feel comfortable taking apart my battery but I would be interested in the details. I'll try toggling it in the app to see how it works!

I was definitely surprised with how much bigger the e-stop levers are than the regular ones that came on my MT5e brakes, I've only ridden only them twice so far and I'm still getting used to that. I've had to make some adjustments to the position of my controls because I've been riding with the...

I've already done that, I swapped the plugs left to right and the issue persisted on the faulty one, so know it's the switch itself and the harness is fine. I reached out to Starbike and unfortunately they want me to SHIP IT BACK to Germany which is ridiculous probably not worth the cost, not...

One of my brand new Magura e-stop levers stopped working after like 2 rides 😡 Confirmed this by swapping the M620 brake harness wires left to right, and the same issue persisted... so I know it's the switch itself in the lever. Emailed Starbike (in Germany) where I ordered them from to get...

I really don't want to disable the battery in the BMS every time remove/install the battery, I do it almost every time I ride it because it's significantly easier to get the bike into the trunk of my car without the battery installed lol. How did you wire up the switch? Is that in the battery...

Have a source on those switches? I just bought the MT5 e-stop levers (2700837) linked here and installed them on my brakes and hooked up to my M620 harness, only to have one of the switches die after two rides. I reached out to Starbike hoping they'll send a new one as a warranty replacement...

One other thing to note, the battery disconnect button right by the battery lock actually functions on the X2, whereas the button on my Hydra does nothing. I think I asked Pushkar about this a while back, but can't recall the reasoning. I looked inside my frame and the button appears to be wired...

Hopefully I can help him get them sorted. My Magura brakes are a bit noisy too but I don't mind considering how damn well they work, and the mineral oil is a bonus too! I'm scared about two piece rotors on a bike for this reason lol. His bike came with regular tubes, no Tannus armor (with...

Friend of mine just bought a Luna X2 with the Bafang M600 motor and Rockshox suspension. It was on sale for $4,200, shipped quickly, and arrived within a week. Same angle direct comparison to my Hydra: As you can see, the Dengfu E10 frame geometry for the M600 build is slightly different...

Yep OTT internally only. Yeah I actually looked into the Tool Library but they have odd hours that didn't line up with my impatience LOL. I don't think I'll be taking apart the DVO any time soon until I get some good riding time in and make some adjustments. I'll definitely check out Shockcraft...

I'm not the most well versed in riding dynamics since I literally just started riding trail/downhill in the last month or so, but once it's mounted I'll for sure give an update. I can flex the Suntour fork as well (32mm stanchions), it's especially apparent with abrupt front brake applications...

I bought 16mm bolts for two sets of spacers (one set was to keep the chainring guard). They were cheap on Amazon.

👀 Just need to get it installed now, waiting on some magnetic vise jaw covers, a star nut, and star nut setter tool so I can cut the fork to length and get it mounted on the bike. This DVO Diamond E2 (ebike specific) is massively higher quality, stiffer, beefier, and much better looking than...

Dang, they should be pretty easy to find from other companies. I both flipped the chainring onto the outside of the spider and used a spacer to push it out even further, then used a second set of spacers to keep the chainring guard. I had to order extended chainring bolts of course.

I encourage you to check out my delivery thread from a few months ago: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/hydra-has-landed.46142/ I had issues with chain cross as well. I put spacers on my chainring to eliminate some of that and now shifting and chain skipping is much better, they...

Interesting, I may have to modify the lower assist level sensitivity for climbs then!

That reminds me I'd like to try and waterproof the battery cover a bit better! Is your battery the 48V or 52V? I'm thinking I should eventually get a spare to keep around.
