I know, I know, you're supposed to measure carefully before ordering your kit!! http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/fat-bikes/fat-bikes-sturgisbullet-mulefut-my2.htm Soooo, I ordered a Motobecane Sturgis from bikes direct at the beginning of June. I figured the sooner I ordered it...

Yeah I've already replaced the cassette with a 11-34. Much of the time during my commute I'm riding in 7 (11t), and on some of downhills I'd like just a little bit more top end. Have you had issues dropping the chain off the litepro? It does not have an inner chain guide right?

I've worked in a bikeshop for years. You are not going to damage the frame moving it 1-3 mm. Whoever said that is being dramatic. Having removed my rear wheel of my XP several times, I can attest that the rear dropout is too narrow. That tool should make your life easier. Heck I was...

I wrestle with mine every time, it's not exactly convenient, but it's doable. I do end up having to pull the drop outs apart but I manage. A couple of other points, there are special washers involve with installing a wheel with a hub motor. There are videos on-line to watch to understand what...

Have you tried adjusting the tire pressure? Like really tried adjusting it? I'm 250 lbs and have run my tires under 2 psi on sand. One of the great things about fat tires are the tires. I run mine at 12 in the front and 16 in the rear and commute quite a ways. Makes a big difference.

Make sure the derailer is not hitting the derailer guard. I had that problem and had to bend the derailer guard back so the derailer could move far enough to get the bike into 7th gear. If that's not the problem, the 'H' screw is the limit screw for 7th gear. If all your other shifting is...

Sweet! I have 900 miles on mine (about 1400 km) since the beginning of February. Trying to figure out how long until replacing battery or hub.

Go with the larger bars. I had the extra bar thing and then went with wider bars. The wider bars look and work better.

How many miles has anybody put on their XP? I keep hearing things online about geared hub drives having plastic gears and wonder about this Lectric branded hub on a relatively inexpensive bike.

Do you drop your chain with the upgraded chainring? There's no inner guard on there right? By the way you forgot the most important upgrade: https://www.amazon.com/Vee-tire-rubber-Speedster-20x4-0/dp/B07KRSZP9W These things transformed the bike... amazing.

Has anybody replaced the 52T chainring to a larger one? I can find replacements for about $60, but they don't have chain guides and am worried about dropping the chain.
