The derailleur itself may have also lost tension which will be most obvious in the smallest cog. The Altus derailleurs are dirt cheap so maybe consider replacing this and having it properly aligned at the time of fitting. That chain also looks a little loose - largest cog would see the...

Great looking bike.

Has the deraileur hanger been properly aligned?

Not so sure about the KMC e chains. On my Earth Trex (unlocked Ananda 48v motor) I stretched the KMC e9 around circa 800 klms when it started skipping in 6th gear then got worse from there. Sixth became unusable and my LBS changed the chain for free. In contrast the SRAM GX chain on my Frey...

I have to agree and I’ve had mine for about one year now commuting to and from work each day. In fact the bike shop I bought my ebike from has retro fitted them to all the same model e-bikes they have sold after trialling mine. They owners love them for their smoothness and comfort, and report...

The Supermoto X is a great choice. My wife runs them on her e-bike, whereas I have the semi slick Supermoto‘s on mine.

Welcome to the forum from another Aussie 😎

The throttle isn‘t required when you purchase with the Photon Cat 😜

I have Bafang Ultra and Ananda powered e-bikes. The Ananda is a cracker of a motor. Little is known about these motors as e-bike manufacturers usually rebrand them as their own. I did buy mine from my local bike shop since if I had any problems I could count on my warranty through my LBS. They...

They seem to have poor customer service reviews when I last looked at these. Hence I bought the Frey.

No, the Beast is not limited but the other Frey e-bikes are according to the dealer I bought it off. Need to sign a disclaimer to get the limiter lifted. So I bought the Beast and didn’t have to sign anything.

I was riding my Frey Beast around yesterday without assistance. Can’t say I noticed any drag from the Ultra motor. Went for a family ride and my wife’s sister was on an acoustic bike. Riding too slow for my liking so I switched off the assistance for some exercise.

Well done. That’s some pedalling!!

Thanks for the links. My Frey Beast runs a SRAM GX 12X drivetrain, so I might update to the X01 or XX1 chain next time. I’m just worried the hollow pins in these chains might not cope with the torque compared to the solid pin GX chain?

Why do you need to change the spider? Just change the chainring.

Just did the same to my Frey Beast. Makes better use of the grunt these motors have even in the lowest assistance level.

Thanks USB is on the bottom not the back of the display. Good pickup on the brake lever clamps. I space my front and rear brake levers differently to provide a natural brake bias so happy where the rear lever is. This bike runs the MT5E brakes which I find very good for my use and combined...

The displays are in a fixed position. The Bafang display is a colourful and bright display (even set at 50% brightness) so no problem with glare. It is also light sensing, so adjusts brightness for low light and simultaneously turns on the headlight (which can also be turned on manually via...

Few pics of the Frey Beast cockpit. I put a K-Edge gravity mount in place of the stem cap for my Garmin 830, rolled the Bafang display forward on the bars and tucked the stock light up underneath for a neat integrated setup.

Fitted the 48T WT chainring over the weekend. Bought two new chains as I needed more links than the stock length 12 speed chain would provide. Wanted to keep the original chain in case I reverted back to stock 40T chainring. I think I need to check the SRAM chain gap adjustment with their tool...
