I got the TI 5 devs and they fit fine.

The knee is good, after 13 months, it's healed enough to not limit me. The lack of strength in my quads, hams and glutes is what limits me. As soon as they fatigue, all the pressure goes to the knee joint. So it's just working it out, letting it rest,... rinse and repeat. get enough protein...

I haven't. I'm in the middle of closing a business, handling my late mother's estate, selling a house, selling a building and moving across country while rehabbing from ACL surgery. As annoying as the rattle is, I still have priorities. Edit: I'm also aware that buying from a small boutique...

Cherry picking, no. Aside from this motor rattle, the bike is near silent going over bumps. There is no chain slap, there is no suspension rattle or clunking, there is no cable chatter and there shouldn't be any noise aside from tire and cassette. So when the motor makes a medium frequency...

Maybe not, but when you can hear the rattle over a cassette and wind noise, you know it's loud. That's just how mine sounds. Like dragging a string with cans attached to it when going over any bumps.

100% agree. I just reached out to Rimpact to see if their Avinox chain damper is compatible with the M2s and my cranks.

Exactly, it's a difficult thing to quantify out in the wild. I'm sure some people think because my location is in FL, that I'm rattling on smooth trails. But we have lots of roots and rocks to deal with on our trails. We don't have "descents", we have punchy ups and downs and on the downs...

I agree those combinations can impact all of the drivetrain, that's why I decided on the lower engagement hubs from NOBL rather than onyx. It took a while to figure out but on my SB140 the chain slap was horrendous. I tried different derailleurs and it was always terrible. Finally I figured...

Way worse than the carpet surface itself, if you happen to be unlucky enough to hit one of the 5/8" (about 20mm) hex bolts sticking up from the carpet surface, you're at the very least, opened up. it's not pretty.

It is so loud I stopped my ride and rode cautiously back to the car to check all the linkage bolts on the bike. Extremely disappointed. I might put my onyx laced wheel on the Crestline and take a video to capture how loud it is.

No, I have a Fazua ride 60 motor in a transition relay with an Onyx hub. Clicky motor sound with the Fazua and it took about 1500 miles to develop; but it’s not as loud as my Avinox bike. And with a silent hub on the Relay, that says a lot.

Yep, my new $15,000 bike sounds like a Walmart bike when descending. NOBL Erase ebike hub.

Mine rattled right out of the gate. Very disappointing. As I’ve watched video of Avinox at SeaOtter explain why the M2s is virtually silent running where as M2 will be quiet, but noisy in comparison to the M2s. First ride any time I’m coasting over roots or bumps, small or large, the rattle is...

I have them on my DH bike, no issues there.

I have it outside the frame. Seems to sit flush and doesn't move. I didn't like how running through the UDH mount made a big gap under the chain stay.
