Crestline x DJI - RS 181 SPECTRE Edition

That's all about the 104bcd chain ring. Not related to crank.

Duh. I knew that. Haha.

 

[John_likes_bikes]

Is this is a gap cap?

Yes

 

[Posvar1]

Yes

Do we need to have it or is it more for a seamless look?

 

[John_likes_bikes]

Duh. I knew that. Haha.

Oh, you asked about chainrings when he was talking about cranks. I sensed confusion in the force... disregard.

That's what I asked, Alumipro seems to be chatting up Troyden a bunch.

I’m really trying to hold off from texting or calling him at all. He is so busy. But all of these things will be worked out. It’s not like we have the frames anyway.

Good to spread out the spending too! Also, July 4th deals are most definitely incoming. I'm filling my shopping carts on various sites with what I need and waiting until then.

This is where i got my 150mm crankset. Also purchased 155mm crankset here for my bosch gen5 and no issues. Also confirmed with Troydon regarding the usage of X0 cranks

My understanding is there is a difference. Not all ISIS e-bike cranks will work with the DJI and Bosch SX. It needs to state its for the Bosch SX.

I've never seen any specific details on offset on sram cranks until you showed the link (hence why i asked). Those cranks are part of the new mechanical t type series

 

[AlumiPro]

So Troydon said the XO cranks will work?
This was my order

 

[AlumiPro]

Did he mention if DJI's use this? Used on Bosch and Brose.

He didn’t mention. But that’s just a beauty ring to make it look seamless(hides the gap).

If I don't look good on the trail what's even the point of living?!? But also, maybe keep direct out of the bearing???

Yeah. Difference it looks like is the 90 includes the gap cap where the x0 doesn't. Need to get that separately.

If anything the 90 is a better buy. Both look to be aluminum and same weight. Just different esthetics. Might return my x0

Yeah I was just comparing the two. They do seem to be identical other than one has a 90 logo and one has XO logo….for an extra $50.
I’ll live with my 90 logo cranks mixed with my scratched up XO logo derailleur, XO chain, and XX cassette.

We are on planet earth, thank you for bringing me back. There have been way too many people liking this bike!

These Helix cranks are 21.5mm offset for DJI. I got a set for a different bike and super impressed with the quality and they look and feel Great!!

They are quite a bit lighter than XO cranks if that matters to you

I was interested in those but they aren’t offered in a 150mm length.
Great looking crank though.

What can we expect the weight to be on this with the 800wh? With a zeb and similar build to the picture on page 1.......

My guess would be 23.5kg

 

[xtraman122]

Miranda makes great franks for every spline out there. I use these same cranks on my bike and have been very happy with them. They seem to have a lot of options for ISIS spline.

I guess it depends on the size. My rh-2 600w mx is 51lbs coil front and rear with double casing tires. I'm guessing we'll save 2lbs with the dji.

The bikes will weigh about a pound less then the Bosh bikes. But the down tube is much slimmer

 

[Suns_PSD]

Yep, the DJI 800 is 1# lighter than the Bosch 800. Maybe there is some weight saved in the more narrow frame, maybe 1/4# or so? Then add a bit back possibly for the special Crestline skid plate that they built for the DJI (I've verified that they indeed have this as an option).

If e-mtb is to be believed, the Bosch is more efficient, which really offsets that 1#.

That might save a bit, or they may need to add or carbon to keep the same stiffness.... Bigger od is stiffer.

Anyway. I'll still be rolling 600gram lighter than 600wh dji when i have my 400wh battery in... Boom shucka lucka take that DJI riders.... You suck!....

For anyone that managed to score one of the DJI framesets, does anyone plan on running a dual crown fork?

I will try one for sure

The draw to the bike for me is the slimmer down tube. The bike looks like an SL bike but offers full power / 800 battery. DJI has some cool software integration as well.

 

[Suns_PSD]

For sure the DJI Crestline and the Unno both look amazing as the motor and 800 watt battery are so darn discrete.

The Crestline was NOT an attractive bike before, but it sure looks way better now.

 

[Plummet]

Amazing how some of you guys are form over function..... sure the slimmer down tube does look slightly better. But the actual weight distribution is going to be worse. 800wh with more forward and higher weight = more suck fore weight and balance of the bike.

My 400wh Crestline set up feels darn similar to an equivalent mtb. When I put the 600wh in it feels more e-mtb like. I dont even want to fit an 800wh. That would suck for forward weight. The most suck will be dji 800wh option.
