Well I tried moving the 42t chainring to the inside of the spider but the chainring now contacts the motor housing. My surly ogres only allow a 42t max chainring so it appears I am SOL

Interesting....I dont have any fitment issues with my offset 42t other then the horrendous chainline Im curious if the 42t chainring you have is mounted on the inside or the outside of the chainring spider(the center part the chainring bolts to). On mine, its mounted on the outside but looks...

Ken, I see that you have a DM01 installed on your bike. Im curious what chainring you are using and how your chainline is I just test fitted a DM01(with a 1mm bb spacer on the drive side) with 42t offset(to the inside) chainring last night (BBSHD previously) and the chainline ended up being...

Time for an update CYC Photon Still in love with this setup. On the hotter days(90F+), I can get it close to overheating(90C) in the highest assist level with the unlimited preset when climbing(8%+) or fighting a big headwind and some hills(4-6%). Easy enough to just go down an assist level...

I dont remember the exact specs on the q-factor but it was close to my BBSHD. That being said, I just had a professional bike fitting due to hip soreness from riding and it was actually recommended to have a wide q factor like the BBSHD and Photon

Congrats on your new Vado 3? I love Brose powered bikes (I have owned 3). I have recommended Vados to many people although most want to spend less (about $1500) Good to see prices coming down these days although it might be due to overstock from overproducing bikes in response to the covid...

Sounds like your behavior Stefan although you seemed to have calmed down these days. I have a whole directory of screenshots of your behavior doing this exact thing in posts and in PMs going back to 2019. It typically appeared to happen as you got drunk, then would wake up the next day and...

Grin sells these which I use on my latest builds. https://ebikes.ca/consleeve.html I have also made my own custom wiring but its always a PITA. It seems like every time I cut a wire to the correct length, I regret it.

Initially I considered getting the DM02 exactly for that purpose but it seems like its really best when limited to 15A(52v->750W) although supposedly can go as high as 18A(52v->936) although not recommendee by california ebike. I had my old TSDZ2 with OSF set to these values and while the power...

CYC Photon Update Im at about 1400 miles now on the CYC photon and absolutely loving it. The torque sensing is so nice, its like an endorphin rush every time I pedal harder. As such, I get a great workout and always come back refreshed and with a smile on my face after riding it. I pretty...

Just wanted to clarify 'apparent CYC Photon overheating problems' so the game of telephone doesn't get out of hand. While I respect m@Robertson and all the contributions he has made on this site, he has an obvious hatred for CYC due to issues he had with previous products. I understand this, I...

While Im sure about the e12, I have aver 20k miles on various KMC ebike specific chains (9 and 11 speed) including two 1500W 52V BBSHDs

I would trust the manufacturer over anything Stefan states. See the linked tire/rim width chart. https://www.schwalbetires.com/media/16/8f/9b/1654668257/reifen-felgenkombination-etrto-22-en-2.pdf The only question is what is your internal rim width. You could measure the outside rim width...

CYC Photon Review at 950 miles The CYC Photon is still going strong with no major issues. The motor did come slightly loose after a few hundred miles but was easily fixed by retightening the BB cups to spec...no problems since The CYC photon with its incredible torque sensor response is by...

Stop projecting Stefan, the only bully on these forums is you, you seem to be of the mindset that strava stats make your bullying justified because you can PROVE. You behavior on these forums is typical of a stereotypical 'eurosnob' who hates the US. Why you persist with this attitude on...

I have been trying tubeless various times since 2007 and for me its just not worth the effort and maintenance required. Sure if you only have a bike or two, it might not be an issue but when you have lots of bikes like me, tubeless is just not worth the hassle. The option I use is tubes with...

Like pedaluma, I thought mirrors were for losers for years, as I get older with less neck mobility I finally gave in. If one wants a more minimalistic mirror, I highly recommend the The Beam Corky Urban, I use it on everything except my dedicated hard trails only eMTB...

Wheel size specs can be found here: http://www.bikecalc.com/archives/wheel-sizes-article.html 26x4 has a diameter of 762mm with a radius of 381mm 27.5x3 has a diameter of 736mm with a radius of 368mm So to use a 27.5x3, you would be lowering your Bottom Bracket by 13mm or 1/2 inch. This would...

While the BBSHD is a monster of a motor, well understood with parts availability its PAS is just soulless when compared to the CYC photon. Some like the PAS more than torque sensing, I ride solely for exercise and prefer torque sensing. Since building up the CYC bike, its my preferred ride...
