sweeeetttt..ya all.
May I kindly ask why there's a dentistry set and some eyelash curlers in amongst your order?Here's just some of the Gold and Black bling I've ordered for my Amflow PL Carbon Pro. I was surprised to find that SRAM do Gold 203mm rotors. I'm even going to change the spoke nipples to gold .....
And I've gone to great lengths for the attention to detail. For example :
The bottle cage is black. So the bottle cage bolts are gold, and the bottle is gold.
Renthal gold Fatbars. <Yes Rob. I copied you> So the bell and grips are black, but gold clamps and ends on the grips. And with the gold bars, the stem remains black, but the stem cap and stem bolts becomes gold.
Black chain ring, so the chainring bolts become gold.
Black rims, so the valve retaining nut and valve caps are gold. And I'm changing the rim decals to gold. Gold spoke nipples as I said.
Black cranks, so Gold SPD pedals.
It's all about contrasting the Gold against the Black.
I've also ordered more Gold Amflow Decals. Though I'm unsure whether I'll use them.

Bro please ....... using fork seal removal picks for dentistry, might fly in NZ ........ But for the rest of the World ...... Dafaq ???May I kindly ask why there's a dentistry set and some eyelash curlers in amongst your order?
You're assuming most of us have teeth...I just assume that's what dentistry equipment looks like...Bro please ....... using fork seal removal picks for dentistry, might fly in NZ ........ But for the rest of the World ...... Dafaq ???

Well we know all the English subscribers have no teeth... Isn't that a given?You're assuming most of us have teeth...I just assume that's what dentistry equipment looks like...![]()
Hold on now. We know they have bad teeth. You can't have bad teeth without teeth.Well we know all the English subscribers have no teeth... Isn't that a given?
I found, replacing the bar and stem, made a big difference in the feel.... I got the same fat bar on my bike, feels great, super solid.Here's just some of the Gold and Black bling I've ordered for my Amflow PL Carbon Pro.

Not possible, however if you up the fork travel to 170 that will slacken it a touch, if you up the fork travel to 170 and go to a zeb or a 38 then the A2C will increase also and that would slacken it even more.Anyone look into headset cup sizes to see if it would be possible to install an angle headset to slacken it a little?
In real terms can you notice difference in the suspension when riding between the 2 bikes. Also with regards casette -will it last lot longer on expensive bike than cheaper version. As on emtbs - the torque is high. The cassette on pro version is about £760. At moment I am riding mondtaker craft r Bosch motor- changing chain every 3 mths / casette every 6 mths. I have done 4800 miles in year and half. Worried expensive cassette and chain on amflow won’t last long.If you are a casual rider or just starting out, the Amflow PL Carbon should meet your needs without the extra cost of the Pro version's high-end components. However, if you are looking for a more professional riding experience with lighter weight and higher-end components, the Amflow PL Carbon Pro might be worth the investment. You can see the comparison information about suspension and other parameters on this page Amflow PL - Specs - Amflow (United Kingdom) View attachment 154318
I have found the GX version of the SRAM Transmission Cassette for AUD$335 which is about £180. And the GX T-Type chain for AUD$70, which is less than £40.The cassette on pro version is about £760.

Can I ask another questionI have found the GX version of the SRAM Transmission Cassette for AUD$335 which is about £180. And the GX T-Type chain for AUD$70, which is less than £40.
People can use the compatibility charts to down spec their transmission, if cost is a factor. Sure it will add a little weight. But unless you are an expert. You really aren't likely to notice.
From reports, the shifting performance of the Eagle Transmission is second to none. And fast, full power, perfect shifting is one of the big criteria's for me. I would gladly pay £220 yearly for the performance of the Eagle Transmission.
That said I'm more likely to only need to change chains annually and cassettes every 3 years. That has been my usage on the Shimano Hyperglide system. I expect the Eagle Transmission to actually last longer, as it's designed for the high Torque of an EMTB.

There are quite a few videos on the Range. I think only the Levo SL and Rocky Mountain have a little better efficiency. But they had 750Wh or lower batteries and the Amflow 800Wh, so range should be just a little better.Can I ask another question
Is there any chance that the EU (in practice still the rule makers here in the UK) might start thinking a bike with so much power no longer complies with the pedelec regulations?
You understand all that, as do I, but the bureaucrats? I'm not so confident.There is a chance. But these bikes are still limited to 25kph. So the fact they accelerate so quickly, just means they go uphill as fast other bikes go downhill or on the flat. Not sure what the extra safety concerns are in that.
Infact the reason I enjoy technical uphill compared to technical downhill is because uphill, being limited to 25kph, the chance of serious injury is far less than bombing downhill at 30+kph. Going uphill gravity is going to help you slow down, if you lose your line.
And other motors in EMTBs have been produced with close to this peak power. But those motors were 5kg behemoths, and really limited the EMTBs riding performance.
The game changer with the Avinox, is the performance with a 2.52kg motor, and 3.7kg 800Wh battery. This is revolutionary.
The game changer with the Avinox, is the performance with a 2.52kg motor, and 3.7kg 800Wh battery. This is revolutionary.
Bosch CX Gen5 motor weighs ~2.8kg, Bosch PowerTube 800Wh weighs ~3.9kg
Thus Avinox motor weighs ~280 gm less than the Bosch motor, and the Avinox battery weighs ~200 gm less than the Bosch battery.
That's a total weight saving of ~480 gm = 0.480/(2.8+3.9) = about 7.2% which is absolutely NOT "revolutionary"!
Bet it all changes within 6 months when something else will become the flavour of the month. Then repeat ad finitum.
However you look at it, it is not "revolutionary".It depends how you look at it.
In fairness, each time we have a 5% weight improvement in motors it's normally classed as a breakthrough.
Ok, the DJI motor is "only" 280g less than the bosch - 10% less .. It's a bike, we get excited each time we save 100g
Even though it's lighter, while the bosch has 85nm peak, the DJI has a 120nm peak. Therefore, almost 50% more.
In comparison, the TQ HPR120S (120nm peak) is 3.9 kg.
The DJI also seems to deliver similar autonomy to Bosch, which is also quite impressive, especially considering the possibility for the extra power. Again comparing to the HPR120S - that sucked the juice.
Did you not watch the video and see the tested peak power figures ? The Bosch Gen 5 is 547 Watts. The Avinox is 949 Watts. And you can keep using 791 Watts for nearly an hour straight, before the system overheats. An almost impossible situation to create in real life.Thus Avinox motor weighs ~280 gm less than the Bosch motor, and the Avinox battery weighs ~200 gm less than the Bosch battery.
They didn't change the laws when the TQ HPR120 S motor was released, and it produces 843 Watts peak power.You understand all that, as do I, but the bureaucrats? I'm not so confident.

So ........ that is nearly 75% more power, from a motor that is 280 grams lighter !!! That is a quantum leap in revolutionary.
Vive La Revolucion .......
Oh BTW. Even the German tester was repeatedly calling it "Mind Blowing". And it's pretty hard to get those Germans that excited .....![]()
