Hi, I don't think I use a torque wrench to mount it. Just tightened at feeling, not too much, and checked from times to times at the beginning that it does not gets loose. Hope your build got well !

Hi @Jeromep, I chose this frame because I could not find another one. And @Rob Rides EMTB posts and videos convinced me. I did not go budget on the others parts because I wanted something reliable, and on which I trusted quality. I had another bike with Ritchey parts I was very happy with. I...

Thanks @SchadowMaster, I'm very happy with the parts, I did not changed anything : everything works like a charm ;) As for any bike it is very important to clean it up after every ride. I went for 203 front and 180 rear because : - 1) I feel it is important having less breaking ability on the...

You can definitly order from Dengfu though Melody. I don't know where else to find some.

I think the L (19") shall make it. Some bike manufacturers like Trek indicate L for 174 to 188 cm (M from 161 to 175). I suggest you go testing bikes on local stores to check your ride feeling on both M and L bikes.

This is straight through bolt (only from one side). I've not unmounted the pivot yet. I'll probably do when I paint (if I do it some day).

Yeah I guess the carbon wheels mainly make the difference. Then the (carbon) fixed instead of dropper post.

Very nice ! I'm happy to see posts with many details !! Can you explain How did you make the frame chain protection ? And the seat post water protection ? is that heat-shrink sleeve ?

I'd like to buy the spare parts on the schema. It seems bafang won"t sell the part in the blue circle separately from the chainring. Do you know elsewhere I could buy such corresponding part ? (I don't even know how to name it) I would like to find a lighter one...

No. When I'm not on the bike they barely touch each other. When I ride and the suspension is in action they actually go away from each other : the top of the lower one goes to the front, and the bottom of the upper one goes to the rear.

The two front mudguards used on the rear...

Interesting ! Can you tell on which parts you managed to save weight ? carbon wheels maybe ? higher grade transmission ?

Hello, After having received help from the forum, I wanted to share my own experience. First, let's explain why I decided to build my own bike : - On every bike I tested I felt some friction coming from the motor when assistance stops. Which made it very difficult to reach a speed higher than...

32T chainring ?! isn't that small ? especially for flat runs. I would expect you to climb trees with such gear.. The original chainring beeing 38T, I have mounted a 40T and I even have ordered a 42T : STRONGLIGHT E-Bike Plateau Bosch Gen1/3, Brose, noir | Bikester.fr because even on flat with...

Hi All, does anyone know where I can find spare derailleur hangers for the E10 ? I would like to have some in case the one I have breaks. I would also like to modify one a bit in order to move the derailleur a little toward the front. I feel that my derailleur does not allow the chain to work...
