Great video brother, if you're more comfortable with shorter crank arms, the dollar value is well worth it. I got to tell you the Bafang Ultra sound, is music to my ears. I have not ridden in two weeks and that will end this weekend. Thanks for the video.
for getting around the frame size. seat position on the seat rails and the stem length would be more important. the 175mm are not really needed on ebike as you don't need to produce as much torque because you have the motor.
I have a bad knee and so I decided it might be worth shortening the length of the pedal rotation on my e-bike which might reduce the wear and tear on my knee a bit because I'd make a full rotation more quickly with less motion. So I bought a pair of "crank arm shorteners" that attach to your existing crank arms. You can then choose to screw in your pedals in any of four holes at the height you want. Ride2 Bike Crank Arm Shorteners 23/28mm wide 9/16 arms They were not cheap. $150, but they work well for me. Also, my knee, when in the highest position, is now not as much bent as it used to be. This device doesn't reduce pedal strikes, though, because it uses you existing crank arms.
I am sure you've heard this many times, but the obvious solution is cut off/grind off the extra unnecessary length at the bottom n repaint the crank arms. Would be so much prettier. What Pedal Strikes????????
Letting my LBS put my bike together. I like the orange Hope bits so thought I’d go with these cranks, Pedals, Stem, bars, V4 brakes with floating rotors and Hope Fortus 35 rims. £1500! Having a rethink.
I have a bbshd with a 3200w controller and i bought some leckie crank arms and they seem to make it more comfortable to ride than the originals . Yes they were to pricey aswel but i got mine a bit cheaper aswel . I never pay full price for anything .
I'd like to use 175mm crank arms because I'm tall (over 6ft) BUT I'm using the arms that come with the vector typhoon simply cos I can't be bothered messing about ALTHOUGH....my bike is obviously full sus so.... There have been times where my peddle has bashed on tarmac, pavements ect cos I'm a fat barstool (20stone) Different strokes for different folks. I'm not confident enough to MX my bike off road. Usually you'll find shorter arms on smaller frames. p.s I bet those 1210s are getting dusty bruv 😉😉😉
talking about rider position ....after thinking about thoughts in video ....i looked at Riser Bars ..they just angle in a bit like BMX but not to much ...those can bring upright by about an inch ...then there Stem get closer smaller stem ...that there is another inch ....between bar riser and stem shorter you get good 2 inch more upright and arms little less spread ... anyways that my plan next ...i am 5,10 on Large frame feels like extra large because seat and bars ... I dont need to be so aggressive forward when i dont need to pedal uphill ....that my conclusion
Love your videos bro. watch them all and always like of course. Ive got a 29inch mountain bike fitted with a 500W Bufang mid drive. I just use it to commute to work. Throttle only (lazy) and get 45Km/hrs out of it. Get loads of looks cos most peole have P/assist ebikes in New Zealand. It rides OK off road also. Keep up the great work with your videos my man. Very intersting viewing.
Yeah weather much better today should get a good ride in bro 👌 Grab Andy out on the judge dredd black beast. Tell him to cut the stem 6cm much better feel. Keep it up bro loving the vids although love my hub motors
i converted my samebike lo26 from a 500wat hub drive to a 750watt bbso2b and the diffrence is night and day!!!, my bafangs limited to 31mph but thats plenty fast enough for me lol and it climbs any hill with ease !!!.
I've got to have a hip operation was looking at an electric bike conversion for a bike I have the rotation movement I my leg is limited so a shorter crank will be very useful. Also is the kit you have only pedal assist or can it be used as a electric non pedal assisted im 21 stone and 5.6 tall my normal bike had a 1 peice crank I put a child's bike crank in for the shorted swing only problem is the pedals were smaller than adult's ones
Hi mate, nice video. I've got a vapour too and I get quite a bit of pedal strike. Do you get any rattle from the stock battery or are you using a dp case one? Thanks
I do get rattle but also I'm replacing the battery case soon as my current ones fucked lol so hoping that improves it otherwise I'll see what else I can do
Definitely Forks and Chain DeRailer antislap device? Then go start another bike a Chopper/Bobber/Cafe bike? With Twin Hub Drives? Big Beach Cruiser frame Giant Battery Pack😎
Watching EMBN for e mountain bike or GMBN traditional mountain biking UA-cam channel I think would be well suited to you definitely worth the look seeing your unsure which direction to take.
Love your input, keep rokin, i m pretty new to this E-Bike thing , i find it very impressive , but what are the pedales for loll.....Couldnt you just have pegs ?.... Do you realy pedal to recharge the battery ?...Thanks mate , keep up the good work.
im on your wave length mate ....i just looking at them couple days ago ...thinking they look good but is it worth spending money on it because it looks good and what i have already is half decent ... LOL at the price and your reaction .....Yea mate ...i agree ....they look bad ass ..but they also cost bad ass
@@DudeStuff Diamond Mate ...Thanks .....That what i call the real price ...20% off that how they get ya ......i do need to look out more for those though
Just watch that motor coming loose dude, mine did but i have the bb0s2b which has no motor securing fixings other than the crank lock, think yours does🤭
Spoiler: Every mid drive needs ugly colored power reducing little crank arms that cost $200? And this is an upgrade that we all need? Well, that was 8 minutes out of my life.
Great video I can confirm what you say about peddle strikes, my crank arms are at least 175 and I've had peddle strikes not good and can be dangerous.
Thanks...I changed mine when I built my e bike for the carrera's own ones. Bafang ones are a bit long...thanks mate...👍👍
Brilliant video, would love to see you and Andy do some more Ebike stuff 👍

I got to tell you the Bafang Ultra sound, is music to my ears. I have not ridden in two weeks and that will end this weekend. Thanks for the video.
I cut my cranks down and re-tapped them, worked brilliantly!

The orange looks wicked with those tyres ...and black pedals ...MINT
I think the bike now needs more orange, maybe grips and a bit on the frame

Thanks bro
I have the same kit on a 29 inch, life changer. Love it!
Hey bro live in nz also where did you source the bafang plus battery from? Also what bike u have ?
What frame do you have i like that setup
Yeah weather much better today should get a good ride in bro 👌

Yes i get pedal strikes with my bafang when i corner too aggressively whilst turning on the road ! - Come to Australia Mate ;)
I wish I need somewhere with more sun 🌞
My Eunorau Spectre came with an M620. died after 1 month. Retailer suppied new control in drive and it lasted 40 KM
i converted my samebike lo26 from a 500wat hub drive to a 750watt bbso2b and the diffrence is night and day!!!, my bafangs limited to 31mph but thats plenty fast enough for me lol and it climbs any hill with ease !!!.
31 is easily fast enough for any mtb 😎

Love the e-bike Videos, I do not do Radio Stuff, I ride 3 bbshd's 1 Bafang Ultra 1 1000w Hub and Hello from New Zealand.
Haha Andy loves his radio stuff I haven't done any of those

I like the helmet sat on the bench next to the bike. What helmet is it?
Just changed out mine for 140 by Micanda

What is the q-factor for the m620? Does the left arm have more of an offset?

Keep an eye out for eBay running 20% discount codes that's how I got these cheap
@@DudeStuff Diamond Mate ...Thanks .....That what i call the real price ...20% off that how they get ya ......i do need to look out more for those though
@@InkDropFalls I notice ebay do a discount code every couple of months or so
Love the channel!! Need some advice from you on an Ebike ASAP Steve! It’s Matt Woods btw
Hey old friend sent a request on fb 😊
Lekkie buzz bars???
where is that bike park
Hadleigh Olympic
Good bike for the monty
Just watch that motor coming loose dude, mine did but i have the bb0s2b which has no motor securing fixings other than the crank lock, think yours does🤭

I changed to 170 mm cranks,less pinch in the hips,too much swearing in this vid ,but still like the content👍
He can swear if he wants to
@@Techandtoolsreviews You're a fkn genius
Buy a shorter stem and high rise bars to make a shorter bike
Also lift the bar on spacers and use lifting stem, move the saddle forward.
MTB anything pricing is absurd. You can buy a full suspension high end MTB for around the same price you can get a brand new motocross bike.......
What about Bosch motor 250w?
That black Chain ring...is not the 1..nice colour crank arms..yeah hopes way overpriced..my brakes made my eyes water over the price..4 caliper.
Just buy a Yamaha YZ lol
Last mx bike I owned was a yzf250 😁 far too noisy to ride to the shops low key lol
weather not wever
