    Tricky43's Giant DH Team Lyen 4115 x5306

    Hi wherewally606 - thanks for your message. I was intending to put the bits on ebay but I don't have any way of testing the electrical stuff, and I really don't want to sell something I'm not sure is OK - though I've no reason to suppose there are any problems. I don't think Rick ever even...

    Tricky43's Giant DH Team Lyen 4115 x5306

    Reawakening a long-lost topic: Sadly, my brother Rick died suddenly a couple of years ago, and his e-bike project is in pieces in my garage. I'm using his login to ask if anyone out there wants any of the components - I have no use for them, but I can't test them so don't want to put them on...

    Scott's Giant DH Team Build 66 mph!

    Looking at your tape measure you have 135mm dropouts there, the measurement is the inside diameter My 04 DH Team Frame has 135mm dropouts. I have squeezed a Cyrstalite 5306 motor in there with Kiwi's dropout adaptors. I've fitted a small spacer on the drive side to keep it so the chain won't...

    Re: Pchen's Giant DH Team Cromotor-Kelly

    Will a cromotor fit in the dropouts? Your DH team is the same as mine a 2003 with 135mm dropouts I thought you needed 150mm dropouts for this motor http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35924 Can you pry the rear triangle apart that far without stressing it so much that it...

    Tricky43's Giant DH Team Lyen 4115 x5306

    Kiwi's dropout adaptors fitted into the frame without any dramas at all. The axle looks a smidge too big for the dropouts however especially on the drive side where the rear mech hanger seems to get in the way a bit too. I started filing and got it about 2mm further in but these dropouts are...

    Canadian Voltage Logger

    Looks like a lot of fun, if you can spare the time to edit the video I'm sure we'd all like to watch it. The picture is pretty good but the sound is a bit strange. What camera are you using? I'd like one to document my build and rides but I've spent all my money on bike components, I'd like...

    Giant DH Comp Drop Out adapters and conversion

    My parts just arrived all present and correct in Stockport UK. Got a few days left before I have to go back to work so the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Now I can get in the garage and start putting the bike together, I got a bike workstand to begin the assembly, I doubt its going to...

    New Build crystalyte 4080 / 3580 down hill bike UK

    It depends how much weight you're planning to put on the front forks, looks like there's a very heavy hub motor at the back and the controller on the seatpost, I'm planning on putting half my batteries in my frame triangle and the other parallel set on Kiwi's forklift on the front forks. Seems...

    Re: Pchen's Giant DH Team Cromotor-Kelly

    Hi Pchen Great video's, I've subscribed to your youtube channel I'm building a DH team with 24" wheels I'd be interested to see a couple of pics of your drivetrain if you don't mind, my bike started as just a frame and I don't have a clue what to put on the front cranks in terms of front...

    Tricky43's Giant DH Team Lyen 4115 x5306

    Got some more bits and almost ready to start the build I went for a 24" wheel to match the 24" rear one laced onto the x5306 I'm going to fit Halo Contra 3.0" tyres on it which are the same ones as are on the Stealth Bomber at £21.00 each I thought they were quite cheap, this should make the...

    Giant trance 29er electric

    Hi Ozjet I'm interested mate I posted my own build thread up a few weeks ago and no-one answered at all which was a bit demoralising. With 29" wheels it should be pretty fast. I like your battery mounting solution, although its quite high up it does get it out of the way of your legs for...

    Hi Kiwi Please can I have a set of dropout adaptors for my 2003 dh team (135mm dropouts) and a forklift for a set of 2008 Fox 40s (they haven't arrived yet so I can't give you dimensions, should be here tomorrow or Saturday though) please pm me with total cost to Uk and your PayPal details...
