@bexamous the greater number of cells obviously helps but I try to break it down into energy per cell to show how changing the pack configuration leads to efficiency gains. The 13s5p pack not only has more cells (and thus more energy at the same power draw per-cell) but the configuration...

I think this is it. More parallel series means more current overhead on the cells; as you approach the CDR of a cell, the amount of energy it can deliver is decreased as is the cycle life. Some cells/chemistries handle this better than others and some are notorious for sag under load below 50%...

@kwseattle check out Grin Tripwire if you want brake cutoffs and don't want the giant Magura e-levers (I think they're the 3-finger size) or can't find them. They come in several flavors (opener, closer, connectors, length) and they've got a pretty straightforward set of youtube videos for...

Is everybody's X1 motors shipping with Anderson connectors & the 10AWG wire that stock M620's ship with? I know Innotrace offers them with XT60 as an option and I've got a sack of XT90S connectors (would have preferred an XT60 with antispark for my application but apparently the 90's are the...

You're going to need a brush on a rear rack to keep the snow off those things and keep enough clearance! Wild that they fit. Wickwerks makes spacers & bolts for offsetting chainrings. I'm planning on running tubeless on mine but it's impossible to seat the bead without a tube or some serious...

Looks like there's been a lot of conversation since I've been on! Also looks likes it's not super important so I didn't bother reading it all :D think I'm only caught up to page 14 but I did skim a bit... Anyway, got an email regarding updates - any news is good news, even if timelines changed...

@TomD since I have a stock UART M620 I think I'll pick up a programming harness and look into getting it set up with the smooth tune. I have a lot of different conditions from mountains to converted railways to paved paths, and I'd be able to just swap out motors so everything else (bike, tires...

This - apart from ebike restrictions on many mountain trails - is a big reason I'm considering a regular frameset that can fit both my 197/150 wheelsets. I'm fairly young and fit and would love to take advantage of all the trails available here, and I think traveling would be easier as well...

@Jon A my rims actually landed stateside on the 27th! USPS shows estimated arrival the 3rd. I build up my own rims but have the LBS destress & true them, saves me a good bit of money and turn around is much quicker, plus I get back a perfect wheel. That's a bummer about the SN04 though, I'd want...

We also got a good amount of snow in town here yesterday - usually only happens once in Jan-Feb so no weekend hikes. Pass reports show highest accumulated snowfall & current snowpack in several years which is cool. Highs in the low 20's for the whole week, most of the roads are compacted down...

This. Someone bought a Hydra black after me and received it - seeing that post is what prompted me to make an EBR account and start whining. I whined to WW about it and they told me it was because the black frame ships to them with the motor installed, my order was waiting on a motor. Now 6...

On the sizing I think 20" should be good for you, depending on fork & wheels. I'm 6' with a 32" inseam barefoot, but for bikes I like a little more room to account for the tender bits. My 18" frame is just good for me but I'm running a Manitou Mastodon fork that's set up with 571mm...

Ol' Musky needs to get the stick out of his butt about LiDAR before I consider a Tesla - the man needs to listen to his engineers & every Autopilot fatality would have been avoided with it! Not that I'd use Autopilot, but I've been in a position where experts were ignored when telling higher-ups...

Dang, I was hoping more like a Rivian R1T! Speaking of... I really need something with a little more ground clearance and hauling capacity than I have and want an EV, but there are so few options with 400 mile range and I'm scared to get stuck with something that's going to be incredibly dated...

@WaxedWookie @Merle Nelson what number range were your orders in? I'm hoping this means they found some controllers laying around to be able to cover mine as well... It just occured to me that the whole reason I signed up to the sub was that I saw someone else who placed an order a week or so...

Shitshow may be mildly hyperbolic but I would say there's definitely the glaring issue of having a system to make order status more transparent so that people wouldn't need to contact a person at WW to check the status of an order - and the more obvious being able to give reasonable and accurate...

That's a relief. You really had me going there for a moment... So I got off the phone with Pushkar, he said he's trying to figure out a way to keep on top of order status while managing the volume of orders and the trickle of parts coming in. I suggested a check list on the shop floor as that...

What. Is this in addition to the already agreed upon price you paid?

I guess more what I'm getting at is if there are other companies working on upgraded controller solutions for these motors, that winds up with more competition for WW's North American Archon/Innotrace X1 exclusivity and kind of kills a big advantage WW currently has over other options. If the...

@Jon A oof, the Lekkie bars are not cheap mistake either! I'd suggest order a few Miranda cranks if you're unsure or have multiple bikes. They're like $50 a pair but where it hits you is shipping, the Delta cranks are pretty nice looking and very light so definitely worth using them on future...
