Good poll idea. Its very detailed on some of the specifics though. I would keep it simpler to find if people prefer 1. a larger battery/range 2. a lighter bike 3. fixed or swappable battery. Obviously I would take the best of all, bigger battery, lighter bike and swappable battery. But...

That's a lot of airtime. for every 7 miles you've been in the air for a whole minute haha.

Yes the stock front brake disc is thinner than the 320 brake disc which I got for SM so i moved the whole wheel 1mm away with a thin spacer, I'll remove material from the brake caliper adapter eventually.

That does sound like a challenge. I would prefer to use the stock Stark phone to run it on, purely because the mount holds the phone so well onto the bike. The Varg app is aggressive, it won't even let me turn bluetooth off, just turns it straight back on.

I have the same problem. The only way I can reliably lock the bike is to lock it while the bike is powered on and in neutral. and then turn the bike off and take away the phone. The app crashes a lot, and when it boots back up it will unlock the bike if you have the phone unlocked, regardless of...

SM wheels lowers the bike a lot. See how it feels for you before changing the link.

It might. 83mph is 134kph. I've that's not far off max speed with stock gearing and wheels. His SM setup means he is actually moving approx 20% faster. (33.3% faster through gear ratio change, minus some for wheel circumference change) Old: 12/48=0.2512/48 = 0.2512/48=0.25 New...

Different tyres with different profiles on different size rims. 🤷‍♂️

I found there was some slight rub so I used 1.6mm M8 washers to space the rear sprocket a little further out.

Yea i did the same. Excel rims and haan hubs. Really happy with them. Did you space out the rear sprocket to avoid chain rub or did the wheel builder do that?

Yea looks good in that picture. Nice bike. I guess it's just up to personal taste too. I changed my last exc from stock 6 days graphics to plain black plastics cause I thought that looked sick. Lots of younger kids in Norway felt the opposite.

Every 1 tooth change at the front is equal to approximately 3 at the rear. 15 does work although really tight. I asked an LLM to work out the speed change. New gear ratio 14/45 gives approximately 25% higher speed than stock, but the tyre circumference diff of the SM tyre reduces the speed...

I went with 45 rear so I didn't have to break the chain for either 14 or 15 at the front. Im mostly running 14/45 cause i like 14 for MX, gives more clearance for any mud on the chain around the front sprocket. I wouldn't go to 40 rear unless you plan on changing the rear sprocket chain guide...

Can't wait. I'll be watching your channel in anticipation. Thanks for the feedback so far. Enjoy!

I have a few questions here. Isn't "nearly zero grease" very subjective? Some people's "zero" might be another persons "loads". I asked an LLM and got this response for different bearings: Wheel bearings: Typically packed with a high-temperature grease, and the amount is often specified in...
