Ahh, great to know on color change NycLowe, thanks for letting me know.
I love it absorbs almost all bump except for big ones have tannus also so feel invincible
No I told Pushkar what I needed due to wanting wireless shifting and He made it happen. WATTWAGONS ROCK!!!!
Also read wireless shifting and bafang ultra are a match made in heaven...trust me it is.

Does wireless add $600 to $1,000? Can be upgraded at a later date right?
It’s about $800.00
SRAM GX Eagle AXS Electric Shifting for Hydra
https://www.sram.com/en/sram/mountain/collections/eagle-axs Wondering how this group set will hold up to the Hydra’s 2300w and huge torque. I love the precision and clean look electric shifting gives you (no cables) but its not cheap for the whole group. Wouldn’t want to plunk down the $$$$...

IMO your shifter and brake cables are way too long and could be shortened. On my bike I ditched the throttle and dropper seat post which eliminated the wires from them. Last thing I’ll do is switch to electric shifting. That will leave me with just the brake hoses and wire to the display for a nice clean look.
I realize this isn’t for everyone but I like my bikes cable and clutter free.

NycLowe I like your attempt at cleaning up the wiring. But, the larger dia solid wrap catches my eye a bit much.
I was excited reading Rome post thinking his wrap was see through like mine. However it wraps up so completely it looks solid. I'll take a picture of mine and see if you like it better.

Well okay, I'm not getting a picture up. Which is just fine because all it would show is I'm a mouthy idiot. 
My noodle type wire wrap is a little thicker than spaghetti but whereas I thought it wrapped loosely and left air space to look through I see it is all snuged up - perhaps from riding vibration.

Looks a lot cleaner!

NEW YORK.
Can you pedal your fat bike to photo the 9/11 Memorial.
I went to war over that tragic event.
I'm one of the millions that will never forget.
Thanks
