    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    I have only experienced one Bosch unit on a Trek bike and it was pretty intuitive to pedal input and cut.. Hopefully when ToSeven programming goes open source someone can figure it out. I can see the throttle as being pretty useful when crossing sections of rock and root areas to avoid...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    Good call on that. Years of technical dirt bike riding have permanently taught me to use the front brake on the right hand side and the foot brake for traction control, front end loft drop on jumps and vertical wheelie management. It is so learned that I must move my mountain bicycle front...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    I set run time on the "PAS - Keep Time" to its lowest time of 200ms. The adjustment is a BIG improvement to the annoying trailing assist, but there is still a bit too much trailing assist to ride wheelies or carry the front tire over anything with any confidence. As it was mentioned...

    Does anyone know which setting can shorten / shut off the trailing motor assist? I am doing too many loop outs on hard climbs, when I momentarily quit pedaling for front wheel lift, but the motor keeps assisting. Riding a wheelie or carrying the front wheel over holes is not possible with...

    Good stuff.. My current Sram cluster is coming apart with loose rivets.. The DM01 is too much for it. I will give the Sunrace solid steel a go. I appreciate the cheaper chain too.

    Good advice. The complete lack of available service parts or even a digital owners / shop manual were warnings as well. I knew better, but bit anyway.

    Additional issues with my DM01- when pushing the crankset a bit hard in a taller gear and or on a standing climb, the deflection of the chainwheel drive is a bit concerning. Noise is generated in the chain to sprocket as it wobbles a bit out of true. The sprag clutch will also do momentary...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    What a repair shop s*it storm.. This sort of circus happens on motorcycle and automotive repair tickets too, where you step on a grenade and trip on the pin, sometimes costing days of misery and gold. Oem, neglect / abuse or hacker causes.. angered tool gods or sunspots maybe. It must cost...

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    Hey all I am tired of using zip ties and automotive split or spiral loom to organize and tidy up wiring. Conversions look like crap with wiring coiled and crammed about. What are you using? Has anyone found a purchase link for Velcro closure type sleeves of different sizes? Who is...

    Toughest Mid Drive Chain for 12spd Mountain bike

    Good point on the hollow pin types of chain for an e bike. I will ck out the SRAM GX too.

    Toughest Mid Drive Chain for 12spd Mountain bike

    Is the KMC model e12 the strongest chain available for mid drive conversions on 12 speeds? I have been reading in the forum archives of multiple chain, cluster, pawl and derailer failures on stronger mid drives. I plan on putting the ToSeven 1000w / 160nm mid drive in my current fat tire...

    Opinions and pointers wanted: Building a super capable fat bike.

    Thanks. Nice tire and bike! I found these more aggressive bicycle studs that insert with a push tool, instead of using an insertion gun or screw in type. They only offer 4.6" wide on this webpage that I noticed anyway. https://bikestud.com/collections/studs Not very deep knobs on the...

    Opinions and pointers wanted: Building a super capable fat bike.

    Looks like a lot of fun! Nice- What model is your bike? I am converting a bike with 3"- 27.5" tires now as sort of a cross over enduro sort of thing. I have lots of long and snowy BLM and FS roads that I ski or snowshoe on different climbs. A wide tire snow machine like your build would...

    Tire dumpers were caught on a hidden camera a few miles above my house. I rode up yesterday to verify that they had collected their dumped tires. As you can see... they lied. They have been given another chance to get the tires or they become social media infamous.... The rad powerbike and...
