M820 Bafang - LIGHTCARBON LCE930 Frame (lightweight)

[Suns_PSD]

Hi Jim
Yes insertion length is 200mm but the longest dropper post to fit the frame is 180mm (stroke). The shortest insertion length droppers are made by OneUp. If 240mm (stroke) dropper post is fitted in LCE930 frame than 184cm tall person will have too short legs to reach the pedals.

Are there any news if the frame can be supplied with the motor+battery kit ? Or the motor+battery kit have to be bought somewhere else?

Thanks

That is really good what you did there.

You need to create a little website where people can insert their preferred dropper post dimensions, frame they are considering, crank length, current pedal to seat height, and determine what max dropper they can fit in the frame they are considering. Should also add a dimension for the thickness of the preferred pedal.

Inserting my known pedal to top of seat dimension I'd be able to squeeze on the 180 OneUp whereas on my SJEvo for example I currently run a 200mm KS Lev (which isn't as compact as the OneUp).

Hey Jim, can we have an update on the retro planning for the frame production ? Do you already have frames ready in Medium ? If yes, can we see the pictures ?
Thanks!

That’s a great news for the weight reduction!

Which Speedsensor you will use for this frame?

the standard sensor for M820 is SR SD021.01, I don't know it can change or not. We don't know much about accessories, we can only confirm that our frame can be installed with various speed controllers, but whether it is compatible with M820, we are not sure, and the Bafang salesman we contacted is not clear about this.

Very successful frame design with current geometry. By the way, what kind of handlebar is this in the photo? Does it have an internal cable routing?

This is the original color of carbon fiber. If you need this color, you can directly spray the varnish on the outside, but you need to explain in advance, and you will see the seams and scars of the carbon cloth through the transparent paint.

it's AM03 handlebar, handlebar for AM and DH and enduro have no full inner cable bars, only XC have full inner cable bar,
the cable though the head tube innner, but on the bar, it's out,

I just spotted on the sample bike pictures my favourite tires, Continental Ruban. Light and very fast rolling tires, side knobs have really decent grip on a fast berms.
