Adjusting the front or rear gearing would absolutely change the way it currently performs. For me…. This was only the 2nd trail ride for him and he’s digging it so far. His bike, his opinion is the only one that matters. Will he swap in some other changes maybe but for now he’ll get the whole...

Okay.... Went for our ride this morning and got 24.6 miles in. Not alot of elevation but alot of up and down. All single track, canyons, mesa and a little bit in the valley floor. Longest climb might of been 1/4 mile and maybe 300' elevation gain. And NO I dont use Strava. I dont want anyone I...

I think he’s got a 40t chainring in the front and a 16t cog on the back. We also had to figure out the pairing of the internal gear position and the up/down shift cable rotation. took 2 minutes. Were heading out in about an hr so I’ll post up some feedback later today.

One issue we had to figure out was the rear brake mounting. He originally had a friken 220mm rotor on the back with two different adapters since the frame mount was for I believe a 180mm. Now the hub itself comes with a brake mount adapter for the torque bracket to secure and we went with a new...

One additional note even though my buddy’s bike has the 2200w version motor he uses the ECO mode 100% of the time. Why he got the higher output motor I couldn’t tell ya. He’s a more is better kind of guy where I’m a bit more minimal in my builds.

Whew! What he said.

Okay after being inspired by another members posting on his install on a Luna bike with the same Ultra motor a buddy of mine took the bait and dove in head first to be another trial test on this set-up. He went to our LBS to get the bike fitted for his order and we decided to do the install...

Hope your ride is working out to your satisfaction OP. Later tonight or tomorrow I will start a brief thread over in the Bafang section on my buddys build with his Rohloff install on his Exess bike. Ran into a few issues but nothing to odd. Got a few pointers for anybody else adding this option...

Op sounds like a jackass reading thru this thread. Guess I’m a “commie” too, give me a Frikkin break. Maybe another bloke to add to my “ignore” list. Moving on….. If the motor runs fine with no chain as you stated are you sure the “new chain is the correct one. Correct size, 3/32” you do know...

I believe it. Three years ago when I got this bike I sent them a request for an EXESS section under bike manufacturers and tumbleweeds is all I got.

Well then a separate posting shall be in order. Now thinking about it Im not sure Eric ( Luna) would want another bike manufacturer's ( Exess) build up of the Rohloff on his property so to speak. Maybe I could drop in the Bafang section. We purchased the frames and motors from WW a couple...

OP gday. My buddy just picked up his Rohloff kit (similar to yours) and swung by my house so we could scope it out. We ordered a Sun Ringle Duroc 50 27.5” and like you are going with the 2 cross pattern for the lacing. In fact I just ordered the spokes (Saipan straight gauge (252mm) and brass...

Mr. hound success?

A friend of mine is doing a similar refit. He has an Exess HP-E180 bike with a 11spd drivetrain and he just got his bike measured out this week by one of our LBS and has his unit on order. Looks like alot of mods to get everything correct. I will be following along and when my buddy gets his hub...

Wow. Here’s my experience. Purchased an Archon X1 motor from WW back in Oct of 2020. Compared to my older BBSHD motor it was a big difference in performance, for the better absolutely. Shortly after that most of my friends who I ride regularly with wanted to get on the train. One guy did the...

Absolutely need a specific battery for 3k output. My buddy got the 2300w motor from WW a couple of years ago and I built up his pack. Actually built up (2) battery’s for him. 34.5ahr (10) pack and a smaller 24ahr (7) pack I used Sanyo GA cells rated for 3.45ah and 10a discharge. Used a 50a BMS...

Just a tip on monitoring your battery charge. Those % readings are usually bogus as you can have the same battery but a different display and get different values. Switch your display to Voltage to better monitor your capacity. Did you ever check the voltage at the charging port compared to the...

Nice lookin ride. What does the bike weigh ready to ride? What’s the ahr rating of your battery’s? 48 or 52v system? And lastly can you run the bike with a single battery installed to reduce some weight? Gracias

There shouldn’t be any reason you can’t store your battery on the bike. Your display should 100% disconnect any load from your battery. Now if you live in an extremely cold area storing outdoors could be an issue. Not sure what kind of battery’s your pack has. I would open it up and check it...

That’s odd your battery’s loosing their charge as you describe. What state is the charge in when you let it sit? I have been making battery packs for about three years or so and haven’t run into any issue like you describe. My wife rides her bike 2-3 times a YEAR and it can sit with a 50% charge...
