Welcome to the gang brother!
You should sell your spare IGH set up and get some more “treats” for your bike. It’ll prob still be an awesome set up for a analogue bike or even lower powered motor. The Ultra is just too beefy for it. RMK puts good miles on his bike with the Sram set up and he says it’s been great so far. I’d trust his word and tests. I can’t wait to get the Sram set up on mine! It’s been parked up for a while since the IGH more or less split in two. I’m hoping to get it any day now and think I’ll be able to fit it myself in a few hours.
I rebuilt my IGH and think it would be ok on a bike with no motor so yours should be good for that no sweat.
Hey bro, as a bench mark for you I am around 170 lbs and I ride with 95-100 PSI in the front shock and have the rebound set very near middle of the road. I’m quite demanding of it though. 1 click to the “+” if you wanna split hairs. If you’re just riding on pavement that may suit you too. I’m sure 140 PSI is max but once you get over 100 you’ll feel it really stiffen up. If I was you I’d start @ 100 PSI and go from there, you can add a bit more if you need it. It’ll just depend how you ride. Here’s the pump i
Nice one. I’m sure the IGH would be great on a low power motor or just a plain analogue bike.In the end I think to keep the belt drive kit, never know I might need a rim or other parts someday and like you said it could also be part of a future project.
You will be so satisfied with your SRAM system, it is reliable and very precise and despite having a chain it is also silent, so silent that while riding in a park, deers noticed my presence just when I was a few meters from them!
The only loud enough sound coming out of this bike is the sound of the MAXXIS tires on the asphalt, no need to ring the bell, everyone hears something big is coming
No problem at all, ask away buddy.
It took about a month total.Hey bro, how long did shipping take for the Sram kit? I ordered/paid for mines 2 weeks ago. Am hoping I get it any day now.
Yank here ...
Cool, I’m maybe jumping the gun a bit then in my excitement to get back out on it.
Ok, I'll do that, thanksHey bro, as a bench mark for you I am around 170 lbs and I ride with 95-100 PSI in the front shock and have the rebound set very near middle of the road.

RMK is heavier than me and I’m sure he’s played around with his shock pressure too so may be able to give you more info.
That sucks bro!
About your sticker issue, they should peel off if you use boiling water on them then they should peel off quite easily. Just be careful with where the water is going to run etc. Use a set of tongs and a cloth and dip it in the boiling water the hang it over the sticker. You may have to do it a couple times to soften the glue but they should come of relatively easily. I actually wanted stickers but got none! LolIt’s a 9 speed set up.
No prob. I just got a reply from Leili about my Sram set up. It’ll be another couple weeks yet as they are waiting on hangers! Boo!
I purchased 2 extra batteries (4 total) for the MD 1000. They were from Yeili and were approx. $400 delivered each. Shipping is a killer as they only charge $270 for the 15ah batteries. I would recommend anyone planning on ordering the bike who might want extra batteries, should make the extra battery(s) order with the original bike order. That might avoid additional freight charges and make the batteries very affordable.
