Yes, I have had that happen with tubeless setups as well (weeping thru the sidewalls) on several tires (some tubeless ready, some not). Not too cool if you store the bikes inside during the winter. Best tubeless setup I ever had was on a 2019 santa cruz tallboy which came with sealant...

Sorry to hear yours stopped working so soon. My Photon has 2k miles and is used every other day without any issues. I dont use a throttle on this setup (not required and just causes motor to overheat). I also always monitor the temps while riding I also have run two BBSHD with a combined 10k...

So many opinions and experiences here so I will add mine. 99% of the reasons I get flats is because of goatheads. I started using stans in tubes around 2007 and have only had two flats since (stans had dried just added more stans). Im guessing I have 10+ goatheads on each of my bikes at the...

Soma Juice 29r Initial Frame Impression Just received the Soma Juice 29 frame and must say Im am totally impressed. The Desert Metallic paint matches the Surly Ogre Champagne Supernova which I totally love. As can be seen from the pics, it has tons of mounts just like the Surly bikes I have...

New MTB/Bikepacking/Touring frameset I originally picked the Surly Ogre (and Troll and Bridgeclub..sold awhile ago because I prefer 2.35+ 29 wheels) because I needed a 42t chainring to be able to pedal at 90rpm cadence at 28mph. While the two Ogres are excellent bikes and have served me well...

California ebike states somewhere that the 42t chainring can only be mounted on the outside of the spider. Nothing said about the 46t so might be able to get a better chainline with the 46t mounted on the inside of the spider. I emailed california ebike on getting a 46t offset chainring and...

You would need the torque sensor (obviously) and a controller and display to go along. Might Even need a different motor (that would be compatible with motor controller) Best bet is to contact Grin at ebikes.ca, they have a video on converting a Rad to torque sensor

I was aware of such issues being an early adopter of the DM01 and was willing to take the risk, whats the fun of blindly following someone else, that would make you a lemming 😀 . I really didnt see the bad chainline thing coming though, totally caught me offguard. I was in the final stages of...

As always thanks for all the info: The Linkglide 9 speed is actually pretty reasonable My two high power high mileage bikes (Surly Ogres with CYC photon and BBSHD) previously had KMC e9 chain($40), SRAM X5 9 speed shifter($32) and derailler($50) and HG400 11-36 cassette ($30) for a total of...

I have used KMC e specific chains in 9/10/11s exclusively and have never had an issue for likely 20k miles. But yes, they are $$$ I am now transitioning to the Linkglide system on all my bikes. All 9/10/11s are compatible in that cog spacing is basically 11s. In addition the cassettes have a...

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...
