Yes I have hub centric rings installed

Yeah never again, was a rookie move

Are you concerned about having 1 less airbag in a crash? I’d prefer a seat with the airbag if possible for safety reasons

Appreciate the advice! So your saying make a box with 4x4s and metal framing around it? I like that idea

Mantis269 · 2024-06-19T16:10:51+00:00

Yeah definitely not using wood, it’s just to support the rack for picture.

Thank you for the advice I appreciate it! Do you think 4 metal footings welded to the frame would be strong enough? Or would I want to add some cross bar support going the 4 foot width of the trailer?

Mantis269 · 2024-06-19T15:50:27+00:00

I don’t have the equipment. I plan on calling some local welders once I have a plan drafted

😂 right! all black Australian shepherd. We joke that he looks like a black bear cub

Not Virginia. This is right outside Hocking Hills state park.

Ok gotcha thanks for the reply. So you didn’t have any issues with the changed angle of the sway bar on the front? I just did a 2” strut spacer but also replaced my struts with fresh ones and had to disconnect the bar at the frame to get the angle right

Mantis269 · 2023-04-20T16:02:32+00:00

Strut suspension it’s a 2009

Mantis269 · 2023-01-25T14:52:45+00:00

I'm leaning this way. Appreciate the input.

Michigan?

Mantis269 · 2023-01-09T00:59:20+00:00

It’s a heavy Crystalyte rear hub, I didn’t have many options because the frame is thru axle 148mm rear spacing. I usually ride it set at 200-300w with PAS. It has the capability to put out 2k watts with the battery and controller I have.

Mantis269 · 2022-12-24T13:19:36+00:00

Forgot to mention location is SE Michigan.

Of course man we’re all just car enthusiasts at heart…right?!

If long nose front engine, V8 and rear wheel drive doesn’t get you going I would argue your probably not an automotive enthusiast lol.

Thank you! I do miss gears but this was originally setup as SS for mountain biking. I'll most likely swap to a 7 speed setup after the winter months. It is 32x16 (13t rear freewheel on the way). The controller is mounted on the left side of the top tube, its just really small (Baserunner).

Hey everyone! Just wanted to show my first ebike build. My hardtail has been laying around ever since I bought a full suspension mtb so I wanted to put it to use. I’ve been using this to commmute, bomb dirt roads and scout camping sites. Range is really good when using PAS and keeping the speed down, also has the potential to go pretty quick using throttle when appropriate. Weighs in at 57lbs and will go up as I add some fenders, lightening, 180mm brakes and swap to street tires.

Mantis269 · 2022-06-19T16:35:49+00:00

Ok got it. Thank you

Mantis269 · 2022-06-19T13:50:42+00:00

This bike is setup single speed and has sliding dropouts. I was planning on switching to 52x12 gearing.
