How NOT to Fix Your CYC X1 PRO Chainring! (Part 1)
Re-upload with fixed sound levels
My chain came off during a rider and got stuff in the chainring. Braking off two bolts and bending the inner chainring. In this video I’m doing my best with what I have to repair it.
Hopefully I can get all of the parts I need to do this fix properly in Part 2!

Unfortunately this is no click bait it’s real. My awesome ebike is gone. Most likely forever. In the video I go over a little history on how I bought the bike originally and the amount of modifications I did. Let’s bring on the next adventure!

After much thinking, I pulled the plug and bought an upgrade for my frankebike. It's the brand new CYC x1 pro 2nd generation. 5kw of power and it's weight just sold it to me. So come with me and have a look at my first thoughts about this new motor coming from BBSHD.

New Chainring For My BBSHD Frankenbike
Review and Close-Up look of my custom BBSHD ebike!

This is my review and a quick close-up look of my custom santacrus bullit downhill bike. I built this bike in May 2019. And been using it since. I decided to create this video to show it off to the world and also for fun. I hope to make more videos with this bike as I upgrade it and make it the ultimate delivery/commuter bike!
So If I understood correctly, the cranks and the chainring are not mechanically connected, right?
Take the gloves off ur not doing gardening 😂
Get used to that process. Research, learn, do it. It is life these days. Being able to easily research and learn is new since the internet came out. Before that you had a library, card catalogs. You learned alot slower, and not exactly what you wanted to know. So you would be forced to fiddle around and figure it out or break it, or take it to a specialist, more expensive.
This is perfect thanks
Hey Valentine , Do you remember the offset of that new 42 teeth chainring. Let me know , Cheers !
top!!
You need some disc brakes on those lol
No mate you have to pedal gohst peddling make no difference
so...
Sir, how can I order this conversionkit and how much it cost. Thank you
Will you change your breaks
Excellent video . Thank you! :D
shit you did a better jobs showing off the installation motor then some other sponsor video lol. how fast can it go and it is safe for you to be on the motor long time. thanks
Beautifully explained. Cheers from America.
Wash your bike 🚲 😎
Why do they use an open chain instead of a closed and protected gear like the Bafangs?
I’m here because I’m fkn mad my e bike got stolen by some Cape Verdeans now I’m racist I think😡
u need hydraulic disc break not a v break mate good job
how has it been holding up?
I would like to know to
@@sleepingbearffg5008 i've talked with a few people who have had bad experineces with cyc pros. They recomended just upgrading a bbshd with an ASI bac. The bbshd seems to be much more reliable.
Where can buy that item?
Я так понял что нужно брать с контроллером 2000? А батарею не меньше 72 вольт? Чтоб была скорость 100?
I sure appreciate the video. That chain tensioner is a test I think
How do you like this motor and how reliable has it been ? Thanks.
It’s a good motor but it has its downsides. There’s still no perfect controller for this motor. If you mostly want to use PAS then it’s amazing because of torque sensing. If you want to use for power you’ll have to choose a ASI BAC controller either will have to be fine tuned, but both version apparently suffer from cut outs, this is what I’ve seen on the Facebook group. This motor is also very light and will fit most newer downhill bicycles. However I personally still miss my first ebike that had a BSSHD with the BAC 800. That didn’t require any fine tuning just plug and play and the power is incredible, but you can basically forget about pedalling, as there’s no torque sensing and you have so much power you’ll never feel like pedalling. Also the BBSHD I believe has a more rugged build, it’s built like a tank, but the CYC does feel a little fragile, especially as you are using two chains. A lot of problems that I had have already been fixed like the weak chainring bolts. The only thing I replaced apart from the chainring bolts, where the bottom bracket bearings. My honest opinion is if you want something that will last you for a long time and you can really beat it get a BBSHD with the BAC 855 as BAC 800 has been discontinued. If you want a bicycle that’s still relatively light and rides almost like a high end Bosch electric bike get the CYC, I do believe the will eventually sort out the cut out problem, they are working on a new controller. I hope this helps
@@valentinefeldbergs5992 thank you for that response !..... I know the Grin PhaseRunner can be used with this motor and is pre-programmed by the company for this motor.
@@integra8502 yes you’re right, that also seems like a nice controller. Because I’m based in the UK I don’t know much about these controllers haha
Awesome instruction. Thx. Where did you buy it? Does it have a gear sensor where it would temporary cut off the power to the motor when you shifting gear to lessen the wear and tear of your cassette and chain?
Excellent presentation. And you only have 111 subscribers??? Clearly UA-cam quality and subscriber quantity have nothing in common. Does this motor assembly allow peddle assist? (I prefer that to "throttle") Given the smaller bike you have this on, what are your performance statistics, such as max speed, range, etc.? Keep up the great work -- I've decided to subscribe to your channel since you deserve a lot more than 111!
Keep filming man, you were doing good content!
I realize it's pretty off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online?
👍
👍
Replacing that old heavy chainring was a must, but I think my best upgrade to my BBSHD was swapping out the factory controller to the Ludicrous controller(3000W) from Lunacycle
apart from being ugly i doubt 200g on a chainring would make a noticeable difference with that much power, especially on a heavy bike nevermind the price of some of the chainring options, people recommending the Bling Ring have too much money on their hand, €110 for a part that will wear out some people on the MTB scene really throw money away for a negligible difference, i don't care if my battery dies 1% faster, if even that and yeah the controller etc are worth much more than a chainring upgrade, apart from the fact the original chainring doesn't have a nice bitey profile (doesn't hook onto the chain like the Lekkie does) but there are far cheaper options that do the same thing except for save 50 grams at most
i'm putting this on a brand new santa cruz megatower...we'll see how it goes!
Have the same one but put the battery underneath the bottom tube. Looks nicer that way.
Do you think the bac855 is a good pair with the gen 2?
Hey Valentine. I was just out for a ride and heard a noise and saw one of the red spacers rolling on the ground. I had broken 3 of the bolts on the chain ring. Are you going to be posting a part 2 where you fix it a better way (non bodged) Thanks. Seems like this is a weak spot on the motor kit.
Thanks and Well Done! I like the front light! For the bike seat, you should be able to get a yard of some black spandex type material and can just wrap it over it and quick stitches to close it up.. I got my hands on a Montague Paratrooper folding mountain bike that I can fit in my little transit connect camper van. My plan is using the bike to explore on. Happy Travels
dont buy such long bolts, you can buy them in many sizes and would save time cutting them down,
Hi bosss I’m talking of getting the gen 2 motor kit, is it really worth it. Whats ur top speed? Can u overheat after hours of riding in hot heat??
Torque sensors are the best feeling for pedaling a electric bike. I compare it to having a stick shift on a hot rod car. Thanks for this review👍
hi valentine, what is the fastest speed you can go at top speed? In km/hr or mph? Really hope you have time to answer this, I've been wondering for a while as its nowhere on their site, thanks in advance!
Hi VALENTINE FELDBERGS..what online website can order or buy CYC X1 PRO ☺
Hi Valentine, I finished my build today. Wicked fast! Question. I can't get speed. How close does the speed sensor have to be to the magnet to make it work?
@Juelz Zander Yup, have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
You do deliveroo, how many miles do you roughly get out of it? I don't like the part where you said that as it is torque sensor if you pedal hard enough it will push straight 1500 watts through it, that surely refuces the range a lot. I do deliveroo too and got a 2kw hub motor, I do get about 40 miles a day and still have a little battery left
Shimano steel chainring would fix your issue in the future. Aluminum chainrings are garbage. Hope you get it working 👍
Hello, you can give me the link or you to buy your chain ring. Thank you

@@valentinefeldbergs5992Thank you
yourstubo not a problem! 👍
Unbelievable such expensive motor on a crap bike.
Thank you 👍 I guess you haven’t seen the video about how my lovely DH bike got stolen
Hey DIY, why such an asshole?
much better on crap bike with expensive motor than expensive bike with crap motor....
@@valentinefeldbergs5992 sorry to hear..my house was broken into and lost all I own. 5k in Drones and parts alone. My Love.. hobby.. well was. :( Good to see made a video.. 💪💪👊👊 how's that motor holding up?
Sir, thank you for posting the video. May I ask how do I know what spacer size or type do I need for my bike ? How do I measure it ?
There are only three spacers I believe but it’s explained in the CYC manual online, the wider BB you have the less spacers you need. And the spacers are all different sizes so you can’t tell which one is which by holding them side by side
How is the cyc motor holding up? I thinking using it for SunTrip 2021 12,000km race/tour. But concerned about reliability of the chain ring, BB and freewheel. Will be taking spare parts and grease for sure. But don't want be weighted down to much by spare parts.
Im going to make part 2 about fixing the chainring, with stronger components and I will link everything 👍
But so far at about 4000km no problems apart from braking the chainring bolts but CYC has updated to stainless steel bolts if you buy a new kit
Nothong beats a hub motor in reliability to be honest, but fixing punctures is a pain in the backside, for a long roadtrip I don't raccomend high power motors, I'd say go with a 500 max 750w motor. Mid drives have so many points that can fail, chain, gears, cluch... hub motor has none (direct drive)
@@valentinefeldbergs5992If you haven't done already that would make a good video. I am still very worried about reliability in long run. Think you are first clocking in so many km on new cyc motor.
@@gursisingh1940 Yes that is true direct drive hub such a simple design nothing really break. They also get higher efficiency on the flats too. Debating getting Grin's new DD hub motor. Lot people on Sun trip go with 1000 - 1500 watt motors and run them half power. Because less heat / stress on the motor. I really do like mid drives though they are so nice on the hills. Hubs are awful on the hills. That only down fall with them.
What about the bank.. or the bsttery! Where does it go?
I don’t have this bike anymore but i made a custom bracket to mount it on the rear rack
What a disgusting bike, it was difficult to pass a water, shit!
Yeah it is when you live in a flat
How many miles roughly do you have with the motor now? I am just waiting for my battery, every thing else is ready to go on my ebike build. Is this the only time you have had the chain come off?
Was just asking about reliability of the cyc motor in your last video. This answers my question. I am also wondering how many miles you have total on the motor now?
Keep on with the learning by doing. Maybe invest in a torque wrench - most come with all the bits you need for bike. Well done getting the arms off though you shouldn’t need to bash them .. just keep turning the remover tool. All the best from a fellow Bafang HD biker.
