    I'm replacing an ENVIOLO hub and need the ENVIOLO disk brake adapter tool.

    That is crazy $$ for that tool! I had to look up what it does to justify that type of money and all it is are some pins, that are represented as dimples in the above pic, that fit into a lock ring that holds the disc brake adapter in place...

    Bafang BBS-02/HD vs M600 vs M620 (Ultra)

    The 14oz cartridge provides several lifetimes of supply....I have thought a few times of offering to send along the amount needed from my leftover but it would be more hassle and expense than just ordering it from BTI, which is cheaper than Amazon btw. Here is the link for future reference...

    BIKTRIX Bikes and Bafang motors

    It's pretty well documented on this forum as well as other places on the web that stock from the factory M620 motors are noisy. How I dealt with my friends and mine was getting rid of the pitiful factory amount and replacing it with John Deere Cornhead grease that I saw suggested somewhere...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    What is Class 3+? I have never seen any actual federal or state regulations regarding it? The SurRons (sic) in reality has nothing to do with eBikes other than they are lumped into our category as they have no pedals which makes them eMoto's by regulation or at best a MoPed, although once more...

    Bafang M620 quit gearset installed. Need help calibrating the Canbus motor.

    OK so it seems like the same people are just talking here so I have nothing other to add to the conversation than for existing and future M620 owners seeking a quieter existence how happy I am with the motors I have re-greased and there is no need for the expense and calibration hassle that I...

    Bafang M620 Quiet Gears

    It's not just any grease that will do it IMNSHO. The JD grease just happens to really work well and is way cheaper than the hoops that you went through...

    Bafang M620 quit gearset installed. Need help calibrating the Canbus motor.

    Why would the calibration be necessary if you just swapped out the gears? If you swap out the controller on an M620 then you need to calibrate it? Too bad you just didn't apply John Deere Cornhead grease instead as it does an excellent job of quieting down the M620 for way less money.......

    Bafang M620 Quiet Gears

    Guys, the easiest way to quiet an M620 is to split the case and take out any grease found and apply a heaping tablespoon of John Deere Cornhead grease, available on Amazon. I've done several now and it makes the motor virtually silent that while taking video while riding can't even be heard...

    Fat tire e-bike for hard packed beach sand, salt, and frequent rain

    Low tide cycle in effect here. Did a down and back of the beach below my place and never had any issues with 2.4 tires including the soft sand between the ramp to the tide line both on and off.

    Using the BionX CAN bus & technical info related

    This may be an avenue you have already tried but this company is probably the best bet for parts supply and tech info left for the BionX brand? https://www.bx-legacy.com/pages/technical-support-information Otherwise you could post on the Endless Sphere eBike forum as there were some people...

    Luna Z1 - First impressions

    Hadn't heard that. I don't see there is much that can go wrong with the one I have but I guess if it does I'll reach out to Devin and see what he can do? Too bad because it does work at a reasonable price with any cassette and derailleur. Oh well such is the state of the industry I guess.

    Luna Z1 - First impressions

    I didn't even make it 2 1/2 weeks with the stock groupset before I had similar issues. I tried a few different things but finally came to the conclusion that the sticky shifting was because of the cable hanging up in the long cable housing. I bought an Archer Components system that got rid of it...

    Bafang M620 upgrade?

    Try a lower gear ratio and a higher cadence. I know my 52v M620 performs on hills much better using that combo. At least as long as the voltage isn't below 45 or so......

    Tour de France 2024

    Are you sure about that? ASO is nothing but a bunch of rich old men as well as most of the Team owners and the UCI itself and plenty of sponsorships come and go....for sure cycle racing is more exciting to follow than golf though!

    Tour de France 2024

    Certainly happens in the pro peloton, average speeds are usually in the upper 40 to 50kmh range for stages. Even pro level gravel races average 20+mph these days.

    Fat tire e-bike for hard packed beach sand, salt, and frequent rain

    I have ridden miles of beach south of you on the north OR coast on a drop bar bike with 45c tires so the idea that you need a "fat" bike is not exactly necessary as long as you stick to below the tide line, however sometimes getting across the beach to that can be a bit of a struggle but I was...

    Mendiz y Polini EP3 +

    I had bookmarked this a few years ago: I was intrigued by the user serviceability of the motor but living here in the U.S. it hasn't had a presence to be able to try one out.

    Tour de France 2024

    The cycling press likes to dig into whatever drama they can. This interview and the questions asked with Tadej is a prime example: It's a long race and there will be moments over the next two weeks that will erase the memory of stage 9..........

    How to replace/fix currie button pad

    Try contacting this company? They have been IZip dealers for a long time and I believe that bike was also marketed under Raleigh. https://www.altacycling.com/
