My Mullet Wallke

[Mike8857]

I'm sorry you fell of the bike. I'm trying to avoid falling off when getting on and off at the food market. I just ordered a dropper seat post but it is a lever post. I'm not racing on any mega dirt trails, so the lever dropper let's me put the seat down getting on an off. I asked Wallke support what the inside diameter of the seat post is. 36.22mm was the answer. The post I ordered is 31.6 and it'll be installed with a shim that brings it to 34.9. Wallke says to get it to the 36.22mm, use Gorilla Duct Tape. For the install I'll keep your K-Cup idea on mind.

One more question about your bike... What is this on your chain for?

Chain guide tensioner... it prevents chain drop-off... I also have the lizard skin neoprene wrap to protect the suspension from chain slap and damaging the paint

Chain guide tensioner

Ahhh... Thanks. I'm learning. Will I need this when I go to the supermarket next?

Update: currently switching out front fork. I opted for the KRSEC/Bucklos fat bike fork with rebound control. Measurements look good so far, just gotta replace the bearings on the stem. I am also going 203mm rotors in the rear to match the front for more stopping power.

Been a while since I last posted, but I’ve upgraded the drive train, replaced the motor, front and rear suspension, wheelset, cranks, chain ring (36 for more torque), and i sawed of the stand at the bottom where the mid drive motor now sits. Pushing about 1500 watts, with a top speed of 43 mph (still didn’t top it out yet).

Too cool. I just received mine this week but given my experience so far, I see upgrades in my future. Did you upgrade the battery and controller too? Mind if I ask what parts you used for the motor setup?

The controller comes on the motor. I bought a new display and cables, and changed the battery cable connection for it the fit the housing. I’m using the same battery though.

Foldable mid drive fat bike. That’s awesome! Can you post the parts list?

Update, i replaced the tires with Schwalbe Jumbo Jim’s (4.0” rear, 4.8” front). I also went tubeless in the rear tire. Much better handling, and much more comfortable of a ride. I logged in 21 miles today with no problem.View attachment 76886
