Nice, how did the frame feel overall? And you have a 27.5 rear wheel right?
Yes 27.5 there is picture in this thread, It felt great no issue at all. should easliy get 80km out of battery, I havn't tried on trail yet, Only thing is the Banfag app doesnt work with Strava says the app has reached its user limit, not SSZ issue though.
Can you explain what Besst is? K1 Flash and BBR? In the US there is no restriction on the speed. Is the circumference change still needed?
Besst is programming tool for Bafang motor used for dianostics changing settings or speed limit that isnt in the go+ app, or want to change firmware, can update firmware of all componants, some people make custom firmware, it plugs inline of the sreen and the motor so its pretty easy to connect dont need to pull motor out, . go to Bafang and download Besst Pro and use offline mode you can see what it does.

Cool..thx for this. I guess the U.S. motors are shipped in unrestricted mode (so 28mph/45kmh)? But this is all really neat. Thx for sharing. Will look into all of it.
Thanks. I ordered the 152 cranks as well. Excited to see your results. Hoping Mullet is truly possible but I am getting more concerned. Its really odd because the full 29r the BB height off the ground is quite good clearance. I just cant believe going mullet drops it by that much but that does seem to be the case. Curious...I forget...are you running 170/160 also? How much % sag are you running in the rear? What size tire? One item also, we can only do one 2mm offset as the Trunnion does not allow for 2.
Thanks I had 165mm Cranks Order 150mm from Miranda and 2mm offset was from Offsetbushings.com sag set to 25% im running 2.6 tyre But i was only on foot path going around corners quickly so dont think there be much sag, I get pressures could change it little too but still it will strike off road.
I'm running M Frame but i think its more becuase of Mullet, it seems ok but havnt taken it offroad till i get pedal strikes sorted, Its the 2025 Can Size is 54mm The 2026 is like 56mm i found out. Could not have much sag 25% seems ok not hitting but if i max it it might, Its like peice paper gap when its full stroke
Totally confused by this question.
Can't help with the torque spec but did your frame just arrive? Can you let me know the date it shipped and where you are in the US? Mine shipped 11/23 and I'm in socal, still hasn't arrived yet.
Regarding the cables passing from the rear triangle into the frame: I believe time will quickly prove me right. I’ve seen better cable routing designs that still led to rapid fraying (unless, of course, someone only rides a bike like this on asphalt). I will definitely find a way to protect them — I’ll design a 3D print using TPU and share it with you here.
I found the torque specs for the motor bolts — it's 35Nm (according to Bafang).
My problem with miranda are that they are aluminum and bend super easy with any kind of contact.
I have been playing around with the bolt sizes also. They are not all the same nor are the washers. I too had to use the short one on the photo you took. If you don’t you will have play on the others.
Well that sucks, Joys of DIY
Sounds good, thanks. Were you also only given UPS tracking information or were you able to track it prior to the domestic shipping portion? Assuming mines held up in customs or something right now.
Nice build..how did you route the throttle and control cable to the frame? Did you drilled the holes bigger?
Aliexpress, $38 we will see what shows up.
Its 21lbs lighter, being said I had a absolute blast on my Frey; over 4000km; and with 170NM but 70lbs... yikes. I am very excited to ride this and see how much faster it will be with only 150NM and 49lbs.
