My custom S180

[Plummet]

It is an O-chain, couldn’t find a spider as I run a 32T chainring, I’ve been liking it. Zero pedal kick and don’t notice that it’s there.
Bike is RH-2, running an old 150 dropper. Sram calc says my short butt can only fit a 150 even with the new style.

I’m trying to run similar with the stock gx crankset, but I’m noticing the chainring/chain will actually move backwards when back pedalling (like a normal bike) due to the gx crank’s large plastic “seal” creating a tight fit with the ochain housing… this seems to cause issues with the motor’s clutch, creating a brief grabbing sensation when stopping pedalling (or back-pedalling when ratcheting up a technical climb, for example)… did you have to use different cranks to get around this problem?

I’m running Pinnd cranks. Have heard of binding issues with stock cranks.

Did you get the 52 or 55mm?

Swapped it to DH setup 190mm Smashpot Boxxer 38s. Really digging this reverse stem craziness - works well with me. Smashed some PRs with this setup. Swapped to a 29er Rear and still corners fast!
