Frey is releasing the Frey CC Fat and has a special crowdfunding campaign with a 500 US$ discount for bikes 1-50 and 300 US$ for bikes 50-100. After this campaign the normal price is 4.980 US$. https://frey.bike/products/cc-fat

Neither, it needs to be done at WW or Innotrace due to balancing reasons. Doing so will invalidate your Frey warranty.

@Timpo the Innotrace and the Archon are the same, Watt Wagons is the Innotrace distributor in the USA.

I asked Ivy a few days ago, they still use UART motors, I would be specific during ordering that I would want a UART controller. As far as I know, Bafang still continues to manufacture both versions.

Please be aware that till around the 7th of Feb China is closed for Spring Festival, Chinese new year. Plus it will take the Frey team some time to catch up on sales and logistics when back to the office. Typically the last 2-4 weeks before this period, so this year from early January, it's...

I agree with getting the UART version. Also you can order a spare battery from Frey for all their bikes.....

Take a picture of your battery with the cover, a second picture of only the cover and send it to the Frey people pointing out you only need the plastic cover ....

It's not a frame only, it's a kit: https://shop.frey.bike/products/am1000-v6-frame-kits

More info and prices on the Frey website; https://www.frey.bike/article/5th-anniversary-AM1000-v6.htm It says for the first time Frey is offering a frame kit!

Frey celebrates their 5th anniversary by releasing the upgraded AM1000 V6 with the following exciting improvements: 1. Built-in battery 1008WH; 2. 29/27.5" wheelset 3. 3 New color releases plus black. The video is here;

The rear triangles and pivot points are totally different.

This is a suspension seatpost I can get in Thailand for a reasonable price, I only bought the post!

I'm getting such a post for another project, if I like it I'll get one for the HT too.

Back home after almost a year and 300km, needless to say I am happy to have my orange 29er back.

Mike V, I think you should post the whole story behind this picture, the fact that it is a 3 year old frame that Frey is giving a free new replacement for?!

The gaskets are in stock now; https://www.greenbikekit.com/bafang-ultra-m620-g510-gasket.html

As a project baseline, I think we need to establish sound levels with the current steel gears first. Based on that dataset we could than see how much PEEK reduces noise. I don't have any ultra motors mounted at the moment, nor do I have a sound meter, although these seem quite cheap?

I will have the steel gear set shipped out today, will arrive in 2 days at the PEEK supplier so their engineers can look at it. I will finance the steel gear plus shipment out of pocket but we will need a model to finance the making of prototypes.... I am working on the gaskets too.

What is key to me in the video is that it's been said that there is zero difference in sound between the old nylon/teflon gear and the new steel one? Sourcing the gaskets will be relatively easy, we just need a sample for size and material choice.

I think the best and quickest way to get a few test samples in solid PEEK 30% carbon is to send a gear set to the guys I am in contact with, let them reverse engineer it and have them send us the samples to test for breakages. If they work to reduce noise but tend to break, we might redesign...
