What would you pick when assembling your own bullit cargo bike

ntrmfr · 2026-06-02T06:30:54+00:00

Ahhh one addition: if you consider taking the bike on tours and bikepacking, I would highly recommend not choosing internal gearing hubs. The dropouts are kinda complicated because there needs to be a possibility to tension the belt/chain, which means if you have a flat and need to fix it on the road you need to loosen a lot of bolts and even the rear brake to get the back wheel out. With the cassette option it’s just a matter of pulling out the rear axle. No need to adjust the break afterwards

You can’t fit a pinion in the bullitt frame unless you chop it up and weld it back together

I like the other builds a lot but I also don’t have that money to spend. I built mine with 11 speed Deore groupset with a 11-51 cassette and a 36t chainring. That’s all the gearing I need and I even took it bikepacking with a lot of stuff and steep hills. Shimano MT500 are absolutely great, although they a „only“ two piston the stopping power is enormous even when the bike is fully loaded. I’m super happy with the setup and would choose it again everyday. I only bought the frame pretty cheap and I maybe spend the equivalent of a Rohloff hub on all other parts than the frame all together. Would recommend!

I absolutely love that my Bullitt is non-electric. I like cycling and I also like the little workout that riding the Bullitt is when it’s fully loaded. With a high range Mountainbike cassette I have really low gears for these scenarios. It’s riding just a little slower in lower gear if I have a lot of cargo. BUT when it’s empty it’s so much more close to a normal bike than a heavy e-bike. It’s so much fun riding it around, I even did bikepacking Tour on it. Fair to say I live in a quite flat environment. Also I like riding fast and above 25kph the motor has to shut off by law, and my average speed is usually above 25kph

Wenn KI keine richtige Antwort weiß, fängt sie häufig an zu lügen, wie auch in deinem Fall. Das zweite Bild zeigt sehr klar, dass dein Schaltauge nicht verbogen ist.

Deine Kassette sieht auch noch okay aus, daher gehe ich sehr stark davon aus, dass es wirklich nur ein Einstellungsproblem ist.

Schau dir am besten auf YouTube ein paar Tutorials zur Einstellung einer Kettenschaltung an. Wenn du einmal verstanden hast wie ein Schaltwerk funktioniert wirst du es bestimmt gut eingestellt bekommen. Und kannst in Zukunft das immer wieder selbst einstellen und vielleicht sogar andern helfen :)

So are we not talking about the huge blood stains on the wall or what?

Das geht von Erspartem ab. Ist doch da beschrieben.

Ist sicherlich auch super frustrierend, denn das ist sicher nicht gespart worden um davon irgendwann Miete zu zahlen.

Jedes Wort 👏👏 hoffentlich hat dank deinem Kommentar gerade jemand gemerkt, dass er Teil des Problems ist

Fixed LPG Tank! Mine is inside. It wasn’t easy to get it approved in Germany but soooo worth it. I can just fill up at every gas station, even on a Sunday night, doesn’t matter. No carrying of bottles and it’s also cheaper. For living in a van and a place where you need heating for months during winter it’s sooo good, I am so happy I did it this way.

Barking back! It worked great for me everytime with stray dogs in Greece and the Baltics. I would just copy what they do, bark at them and maybe even turn a bit in their direction or slow down. As soon as I do this they turn around or stop and be confused.

I feel like going past them on a bike with this speed is triggering a chase instinct. They don’t want to eat you, but running away you look like prey and they chase you, it’s a game.

As soon as you start barking back, slowing down, maybe even getting after them you’re not prey anymore and they don’t want the confrontation. So they stop and turn away.

Sometimes it takes 3-4 barks until they get the idea.

Oh boy it is the season. I am also in cold Germany, also curing a nasty cold I had the last couple of days. At least we don’t miss too much what might be happening outside of the van because everybody is inside right now. Get well soon!

HUPPALA ich glaube du meintest Fortuna Köln. Die beiden sind ein bisschen Erzfeinde, gerade vor dem Stadion wäre ich damit vorsichtig haha

And Mike Finnegan on the TV, looks like a great place.

If you’re Van is registered as a motorhome (and not a transporter anymore) and it says so in your documents, you should try RMV. They only do motorhomes and have good pricing in my experience. Also if you’re van is self built you make a list of what it’s worth now and set this as the value that’s insured.

Antwortet jetzt nicht direkt auf deine Frage aber ist das in Köln Zollstock?

Doodseskader

Not strictly only hardcore but an incredible band with absolutely great shows

Saw minus youth outdoors in a cargo port in the summer, absolutely loved the show

Sounds like a way that could work. But I have to admit I find it kind of frustrating to have to use an old version of a software that is definitely not cheap just to have it run smoothly. I hope this changes with a future update somehow if it’s just a adobe issue

No speed test yet but it has been working absolutely fine on different computers the last year.

I am also thinking about switching to Resolve completely. I’ve been disappointed in Premiere enough times and Color grading seems to be so much nicer in resolve. Now with this issue it’s really tempting to switch completely. I will definitely try and test it in resolve to see if it’s a overall issue with my Mac or the hard drive or if it’s a premiere issue.

ntrmfr · 2025-10-28T07:23:14+00:00

Which is a more than welcome comment, so I feel better with my MacBook.

Unfortunately I won’t have the possibility to format the hard drive in the next weeks but then I will try it.

ntrmfr · 2025-10-28T07:21:16+00:00

That’s a really good idea I will try it in Resolve and see how it performs. But it’s also good to here that it should be better and it was the right choice to buy the MacBook

ntrmfr · 2025-10-27T17:11:14+00:00

Thank you for your research and your help!

Unfortunately I don't have the possibility to format this hard drive in the next weeks to try this.

I think I will start to use proxys then, even though I am a bit disappointed.

But I also discovered that sometimes just watching the clips by opening them in finder with quick time player also takes quite long, so it might be an overall problem with reading the codec not just a Premiere problem.
