How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

[soundwave]

there is 500 psi of nitrogen pushing on the shaft so it will come off just will never get it back on with out letting out the nitrogen and then refilling it.

tho some say put it in the freezer to slow it down but im not doing that.


when you rebuild it the ctd assembly is put in first then the rest thus if i wanted a ctd remote for it only mojo can fit it.

Am I looking at all this trouble with my new fs
bike? When it comes that is..

Like the idea of the bbs guards/covers. Keen to see pics as they develop. 3 takers here [emoji3]
.

We've been using more MuckyNutz (I should be on commission lol) downtube guards for the motor this winter, one on the frame, one to wrap the motor/cover the chainwheel...very successful at keeping everything clean as you can see from the photo...but I want a hard "bash-guard" style if I can cut/fab it and make it subtle...nice bike display too by the way Brightoneb...

Lbs says it's a once a year service job

 

[soundwave]

yes or every 125 hrs what ever comes first.

can fit that my self just if the lbs has not got any nitrogen they cant fully service it so best ask depending on what shock you have.

none can do it round here bar 1 and the most expensive but bit cheaper than mojo at 90 quid

 

[Steve UKLSRA]

For not much more money, you could upgrade to a Factory RP23 off ebay and they are a far better shock than the the CTD...

 

[soundwave]

have to give me a link as to what 1 will fit as i have no idea tbh.

Ingenious. Nice rig n'all.
I'll get on to some MuckyNutz and put my design hat on. Cheers [emoji3]

Not sure what size the shock is from memory SW...I'd imagine its a 216/67 but the specs will tell you...It's something I wanted to fit to my Haibike, but things have moved on and the new/old bikes will be getting them instead...my S-Works runs a Factory Kashima RP23 now, after junking the CTD I bought thinking it would do the job!

Brightonebikes, just get hold of mouldable plastic and make your own. It's not difficult.

The rear Scud Launcher was intentionally made in two sections. The shock guard is just an old Topeak front mudguard.

These days, other than a front Neo guard, I'd rather not bother with mudguards. I've gone through enough of them over the last few years, and they are all more hassle than they are worth when riding in thick muddy conditions. I find that they all clog the chainstay area, and the front fork crown. High front mudguards, to me just look silly, and are also far too vulnerable to be of any use.

Before you ask, you will have to find your own source for the plastic. I guess that Google is your friend.

I am picturing a far stronger plastic that would provide a little protection too. I'm not bothered for mudguard really, seems I always get covered in sh*t no matter what.
...More something that would take the initial impact of a slight bottom out or unfortunate landing.
Even a couple of well placed bars from downtube, round beneath the motor and secured at the rear of the BB might do it?
That said, I'm not really sure there is a need? am I trying to design something that doesn't need to exist!

Anyway, when will someone start a thread entitled "I like riding my e-bike off road just as much during the summer as I do in the winter".....?

You can't change your axle sizes, they're set from the factory...didn't realise we run puny 200mm shocks on the Haibikes (same as my 2004 S-Works), but I'd wager they're 57mm not 50...and don't buy from CRC, I've had a couple of Factory RP2's in mint nick for £110 off ebay that are still going strong!

want them like that front rear just no quick release like a dh bike and no lil sod cant nick my wheels.

 

[Steve UKLSRA]

Great idea...I now run "fun-bolts" on all our rears, but same idea...

 

[soundwave]

can i get a 142/12mm 1 for the rear of my bike then?

 

[Steve UKLSRA]

No mate, they're the latest thing for us 9mm QR guys to beef up the rear end...10mm bolt-thru or 10mm fun-bolts are the way to go...If you're that anal about your wheels being nicked, take that axle or dimensions to a local engineers and they'll make you a one off with a one off key.
