    Crestline RS 181.2 thread – builds, reviews, technical info

    Question for all the people who ordered sans battery, did battery mounts come with the frame? Or can you bolt direct to the avinox battery?

    Crestline RS 181.2 thread – builds, reviews, technical info

    Can these run a 32t chainring? I run a 45-9 cassette, I miss the 51t on steep climbs in eco or off if that makes sense. Yes and don't worry, I know how turbo works. I often pedal with others on normal bikes 🙂

    That's interesting that those rims are easy to fit a conti. They must have a generous and nice shaped rim well. My wr1 convergence are a real bitch 😅

    Ochain issues on e-bikes

    I've had mine for a long time on my Gen 5. No problems. I did a full rebuild the other day. Probably didn't even need it to be fair, the rubber stops were still pretty mint. I'd happily recommend them. Loctite those faceplate bolts! I would say bolt check them, but I never did 😬 but I did...

    Ideal EMTB drive train (shifting, not motor)

    I'm kinda surprised no one has reverse engineered or decoded transmission to make it move differently to allow for different gear spacing ie shimano or 11 speed or others

    Ideal EMTB drive train (shifting, not motor)

    Sure that's the crowd it's marketed towards, but I've never once thought: man it sucks to have all these gears. And you have to remember di2 is lightning fast to change so it doesn't matter anyway. Transmission would be an absolute dog (it is anyway). For me with a mullet bike, I'd do whatever...

    Shimano xt 10-45 12spd cassette, medium cage xtr di2 derailleur, xtr HG Chain 👌 I'm using the 9-45 xtr cassette atm, but I just don't know about durability it's not actually ebike recommended. Shifts are so crisp though! I've put it through it's paces under pretty high loading and it's still...

    Re front hubs on USD forks. Yes apparently they do make a difference. Chris King and i9 hydra are both recommended for their flange interface, Darren from push said somewhere about it.

    Anyone in Tasmania here with a bosch 600 or 800 I can borrow?

    Anyone in Tasmania here with a bosch 600 or 800 I can borrow?

    Yeah bro, I'm super pumped about it. We ride all those places! I really like the multi day race things. You get to cover a heap of ground, you might not otherwise have.

    Anyone in Tasmania here with a bosch 600 or 800 I can borrow?

    Yeah I've reached out to that place. They don't specifically list the latest Gen bosch battery, but I am ever hopeful. The battery rental was pretty reasonable I thought 🤷 There's only 2 variants of 600/800. Think I'm safe

    Anyone in Tasmania here with a bosch 600 or 800 I can borrow?

    Hey team, bit of a long shot here. I'm doing trans taz on my ebike and I can't fly with a battery obv. I need a bosch horizontal 600 or 800 from 13th till 22nd. I fly in/out of Hobart on those days too. I'll obviously pay. This is more plan B, otherwise I'll just buy a 600 and sell it when I...

    Anyone use Anti-Pedal Kickback Tech on EMTB?

    Fun story, I have a friend with a Bronson with di2 xt. As you might know the new shimano di2 stuff doesn't have a clutch on the derailleur so there's little to no damping effect on the cage. Anyway, the feedback and noise from chain whip induced pedal movement was something else! Could easily...

    Nah no squeak, pad squeal or retaining spring rattle you mean? My rear rotor is slightly bent, that's the only thing making noises haha
