On this forum? Surely not!

Yes it was clever, but wasn't it just a derailleur in a box above the chainset? Not exactly new technology.

Everybody loves the intense pace of development and new releases by Avinox, except of course those who've just bought a new bike! Cake and eat it? I wonder if in a few years time we'll all be chastising Avinox for their latest new thing because our garage is full of out of date bikes that we...

But then you get people who've removed their bottle mount screws from the downtube and claim the weight saving "high up" transforms their heavy tank into an agile gazelle! :)

I enjoy riding my SL because of its lack of power! Just an outlier I guess :unsure:

Your experience and design will be different to mine if you're using a 500Wh battery rather my longer 625Wh. However, I would advise that you knock up a quick prototype first which will allow you to see where the insertion and removal issues arise, and to fine tune the precise positions for the...

Breaking news.... Avinox has beaten Musk to it and landed two bikes on the red planet! Is there nothing they can't do??? Just wondering how far this could run before the fanboys spot the BS. :ROFLMAO:

Shame there's not more options :ROFLMAO:

I think you might be mistaken there. On the Orbea website it shows the M10 comes with the "Orbea system controller remote" and the Team version comes with the "Orbea system controller with eDropper remote". The M20 shown coming with the Avinox BC100 remote.

Maybe I should get cutting out my closed cell foam sheet. That won't creak!

You could save another 300g by removing the aluminium battery cover (it's also aluminium on carbon framed bikes). How many sausage and egg dinners does that equate to? :ROFLMAO: Of course you'd have to find something to fill the hole. I've considered cutting out a panel from some closed cell...

When I removed the lock over a year or more ago I don't think Rolph was still selling the 3D printed adapters that irie bought. I just made my own from a right angle steel plate that you can buy from a DIY store and then welded on some nuts to take the two frame bolts. I glued a piece of inner...

Ironically, as I understand it, when Bosch set about designing their latest batteries they consulted with the bike designers who all said they wanted a shorter battery so that more weight could be kept low on the bike. So that's what Bosch delivered and then Avinox came out with batteries with...

How do you know it's because of the "fake 750W cap" and not simply because they love the bike and that's the motor it comes with?

All very good points Rob and well put. Maybe I'm a dinosaur heading for extinction but I have chosen to buck the trend for the numerous excellent Chinese EVs on the market and have just bought a Renault 4 electric plein sud (with sun roof). It's totally manufactured in France with french...

In the interviews I've seen with the Orbea designers they say that they moved from the Bosch CX motor to the Avinox because the smaller form factor of the Avinox allowed them to place the chain stay main pivot lower down in order to achieve the anti-squat they were looking for. But when you...

Do you mean the bearings on the Mino links? (ie that connect the rocker arm to the seat stays) Or the main rocker pivot bearings that fit onto the seat tube? I've just replaced the Mino link bearings using a bolt and washers and a 20mm socket (I don't have a bearing puller!). Mine came out no...

You can save almost half a kg by removing the battery lock mechanism and RIB. I removed the lock/handle block on the end of the battery and fitted an angled plate which then holds the battery in place with the two bolts through the frame that originally captured the lock mechanism. Yes it now...

I'm sure the engineers and designers didn't include the gap by accident, so you have to give them credit that they know what they're doing and it's fine like that. In terms of strength, it's not just the exterior dimensions of the chain stay around the pivot but also the nature of the carbon...

That's reassuring, but 1000 miles isn't a lot.
