    Core-5 sizing?

    I am 5'11 with the same inseam as yo and the XR Fits me perfectly. The seat post has plenty of room for adjustment also.

    ( Updated) TSDZ2 build is about to commence! Scratch The Tsdz2 I am going with a BBso2

    Well the Bbso2, gearshift sensor and spacers arrived today. No going back now! Johnny Nerdout even threw in a headlight for free which was nice. Program cable is on the way and now I am hunting for a good battery. I am thinking about a 48v 17ah. Still playing with the idea of an IGH since I...

    BBS*** Settings for a Smoother Ride

    This thread was a good read. I am putting a Bbso2 on a Kona Dew for commuting and I would like to program it down just a bit so that I don't burn out the controller and get it as smooth as possible. I pretty much only use the throttle to start off from a stop and I always pedal going up hill. I...

    I am wondering if I can just put the Lekkie on instead of the stock chain ring with the use of spacers.

    So I could use one even without chain line issues? I would not want to order one if I can't use it lol. I got the kit from JohnnyNerdout and it will come with eighter 44 or 46t depending on inventory. I am guessing 46 or 48 for the riding I will be doing.

    Well I ended going with a different bike and kit! No turning back know because the kit is on the way (Bbso2) and I am putting it on one of my favorite bikes the Kona Dew. I figured I wanted at least mechanical disk brakes and I plan on upgrading the rotors size and adding Juin tech calipers as I...

    How well does the Tsdz2 handle the rigors of commuting? The bike would be locked up in the heat and cold.

    ( Updated) TSDZ2 build is about to commence! Scratch The Tsdz2 I am going with a BBso2

    After checking I think I might just go with the 48v with the 13ah battery. It is within my budget and I can use a frame bag to conceal it if I decide to. Now I am not sure if I should wait for the c3 to get restocked along with the new gear they have come up with at Eco-Cycles...

    Thanks! After a year of not having to worry about being in the right gear and throttling from a stop I guess it is just a concern lingering in the back of my head.

    ( Updated) TSDZ2 build is about to commence! Scratch The Tsdz2 I am going with a BBso2

    Yea I am waiting for the C3 display to get restocked at Eco-Cycles and I am not planning on adding the cutoffs so I think the throttle is off the table. Do you have experience with the OSF?

    ( Updated) TSDZ2 build is about to commence! Scratch The Tsdz2 I am going with a BBso2

    My current battery would be a no go ( it is a reention eel on a Ride1up Core 5). I am spitballing about the throttle because I have become used to it but I have been riding without using it for the last week or so. I want as light weight of a build as possible.

    I have been riding the aluminum version of this bike for years. That model is called the Allegro. They make great bikes for the money.

    So I picked up this Jamis Coda S2 and rode it around and it is light and almost buttery smooth. I have been inspired by @PedalUma and really want the stealth build with the 36v water bottle battery. One thing I am pondering is weather to do the OSF or not. I will be commuting with this bike and...

    I just put a Sunrace m4 7 speed trigger shift on but to me almost any trigger shifter is better than that mickey mouse thumb shifter. This is the cover I use for the battery in the winter and it doubles as the compartment cover when I remove the battery...

    The Core 5 is a beast of a bike that I have over 5300 miles on so far, I added a Redshift stem, steel BMX clunker bars, switched out the shifter and added the Juin tech brake calipers and I love it. You can get a 14ah battery for it also from R1up if you need to but given your ride of 5 miles or...

    Ride1up's battery prices are good IMO and and you can't go wrong with either the 500 or the 700. Just depends on the specs you want.
