I didn't bother. Just some B-screw adjustment. But you might have to, with the SRAM T-Type.

104BCD spider can take a 32T alloy chainring, but I found the chain then rubbed on the chainstay on the Merida. So I ran 34T.

I ran a really low engagement ratchet hub (40T), and found that helped significantly.

Yes it's a good bike at that price. Pros: 170/170 travel Enduro. Light weight Amazing spec for price. Cons: SRAM transmission means no connection to Shimano Motor, thus no Coastshift or Autoshift, that you would get with Shimano Di2 derailleur. Shimano EP801 only has 600 peak watts and 85Nm...

So you think it's just the dual mesh is worn ?

I'm running a belt on my commuter. Sure it's not exposed to the level of abuse that an EMTB is exposed to. But the reason I mention it is just the lack of any maintenance required. Nothing. Just a finger on the belt make sure tension is OK once every couple of months. That's it. It's self...

Avinox didn't build the bike. Nor did they fit the low engagement hub. But with any motor fitted to a bike with that sort of kick back. I would fit a low engagement hub. And the bike builder does. I mean, the bike owner didn't say he fitted a high engagement hub till I asked about why the bike...

20 degrees is only 18 points of engagement. Maybe there's a kinematic reason they chose such a low engagement hub. I know the float is variable with a low engagement hub, but low engagement is certainly recommended for downhill and enduro.

Looks like slop in the take up of the one way clutch ? But yes I agree. It does look excessive compared with the tiny bit of slop I get when I remove my chain, and perform the same action. Can I add. The dual mesh, split gear, linking the parallel gears will remove any slop between these...

The bike was sold with 36, 54 or 72 point engagement hubs. You did modify it to 870 points of engagement. That's a very big change. I specifically chose the 40T ratchet hub, instead of the 60T, exactly to reduce kickback. My bike is also High Pivot. Helping further. If you can put the DT Swiss...

You could be right. The rattle could be coming from the kickback causing so much travel in the cranks. I would fit a lower engagement hub, and see if the problem is greatly reduced.

Wow yeah. 870 points of engagement. Mine has 40 ..... :LOL: It's a dtswiss 350 clone. It's looking like the Avinox M2S has a problem with high engagement hubs. The kickback is breaking that anti-rattle gear they added, IMO.

Better video. My bike does not do that. I bounce my bike like that and the cranks do not move. Wow, the kinematics of that bike is not pretty. Huge kickback. Is that the original hub in the rear wheel ? Must be super high engagement.

So leave the chain on, and pull the chain backwards and forwards, whilst holding the cranks still, if you are trying to recreate riding conditions. All you are proving in your video is that the planetary gear has backlash. Rattle when descending comes from when chain growth rotates the...

Yep. Mine makes the same noise with the chain off. But is silent with it on. Are people riding these bikes with the chain off ?

Lets not derail the thread with trade negotiations, but. I define (ChAFTA) as great. I understand that your view may be different. But I enjoy a much higher standard of living, because of the trading and buying power this agreement gives me. The impact with regards to this thread, is I can walk...

Not saying this is the issue. But you currently don't have a great trade relationship with China. Certification issues as well. Meanwhile, Australia have a Free Trade Agreement with China, negotiated by our Govt. The result is China is our biggest trading partner by a huge margin. The easier...

Whilst I'm here. A day after I was told I'd have an update from my dealer regarding my blank screen, and nothing. I kind of expected it in the Amflow world. But as previously stated. I have taken measures to reduce the impact of my less than well supported purchase. Hopefully good news soon.

They don't appear to answer this thread anymore. Hence the title got changed to avoid confusion.

There's some stairs locally that I climb in either 3rd, 4th or 5th gear, depending on the stairs gradient and length. It's nice to quickly confirm which gear I'm in before starting the stair climb. It's hard to be exactly sure whether I'm in 2nd, 3rd or 4th by feel alone sometimes. I'd probably...
