    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    Hi again, judging from the pictures Steven I would recommend cutting your fork to avoid the spacers above the stem. The expander plug in the fork is there to prevent fork from getting squished from the clamping of the stem (so it is recommended not to use spacers above it to make sure there is...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    We went with a different kind of spokes for the rear, something a bit sturdier that he recommended. It's still a 2 cross lacing, looks really good. If you go the no spoke holes route your'e up for a treat if you go tubeless, however as you mentioned it does require some extra fiddling. For me, I...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    I let the wheel builder figure this one out, I didn't want to make a guess. So I'm not sure actually what's on there. These are the specs: FSD35CM-28T-SUD Farsports Feder series, 35mm deeep, 28mm external width, 21mm internal width. 24/32 holes, external nipples UD matte rim finish. No logo...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    I can really recommend Farsports if you would like to try the Chinese route. You can find a great deal of reviews on them and they offer really good lightweight options. I ordered a 32H rear with spokes and a prebuilt front wheel to match. Beautiful set of wheels once built up around the hub...

    Has anyone taken their Orbea Road Gain Ebike to Euorpe? Did you remove your battery and rent one there?

    Oh that clarifies things. As @WattsUpDude pointed out, I was speaking about the ebikemotion system which was also written above in my post! So probably correct after all right ;) Cheers, no harm done

    Interesting, just read your previous post again. Good to know, so you just changed the battery without any activation whatsoever? I got the info directly from Mahle, and it's also in their dealers guide. No flashing pink lights then?

    DIY Ebikemotion Range Extender

    Beautiful work! You could probably sell those if you wanted to :) I'd sure be interested myself as a gift for my girlfriend. Bought a Wilier e-road for her so we could ride together, she was in an accident (at work) many years back and lost her right leg so she needs a bit of help. Once again...

    I've researched the ebikemotion a bit myself, the motor, battery and iWoc are e-SN specific meaning you can't just replace one component with another without a reprogramming of that part. The serial number is programmed via the dealer app, only available to dealers. So even if you do manage to...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    @MurphyDog Try Bike24, they have a 40mm version of the Mavics CXP in 32H versions as well as a Praxis works. I tried the Mavics on another bike before settling for the Wilier, they felt a bit to susceptible to crosswinds in my mind and mounting tyres was a nightmare. However they are solid and...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    Finally landed a Cento10 Hybrid for her, it rides like a dream given the extra weight :) Now all I need is to find a lightweight rim that has 32H. Where did you get the Parcours rims André? Tried googling but only end up on their website. Also, how are the NOX wheels? Crosswinds/ holding speed...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    Really nice work there André! I'm currently looking in to this as well as I'm building a dream bike for my girlfriend who's a leg amputee. Do you have the weight of the original vs Parcours? Or possibly a naked weight of just the motor? Going full weight-weenie here but hey, on an e-bike it...
