    Thorium's Giant DH Comp Build

    Fitted up the rear wheel with relative success now, just had to deflate the tyre for it to slide into the dropouts, and a tiny bit of selective filing. Still having the same issue where the rear tyre is rubbing up against the swing-arm due to its weird geometry. Led to believe dishing the...

    Hello everyone, hope your Easter turned out slightly better than mine. Bit of a thread necro so apologies in advance Took the bike shop over 3 months to actually finally say that they haven't looked into ordering tyres for me so I decided to not use them anymore and instead bought some online...

    Sorry I haven't posted recently, life got in the way and my bike has been the last thing on my mind recently as my cars rear sub-frame has crapped its bushes so that's about a 1400 dollar fix, seems expensive but its a Ford Falcon thing.... Had to pull the entire rear subframe and replace the...

    White industry freewheels are some of the best you can buy. It's likely an issue with the hubs threads. Like you say the paint over it may have caused the binding. Either that or it's a different thread pitch. Which I'm doubting that's the case. These guys are pretty good though and I sat down...

    Thanks for interest Wolfeman. Bit of an update, dropped the wheel into my local engineering shop to have them look at the threads for the freewheel and my rear dropout adaptors have arrived within Australia. My excitement was stifled when the guys at the machine shop told me it would be like a...

    Perhaps my pictures were a little misleading, the axle itself doesn't come into contact with the freewheel. You can see the threads for the freewheel under where the axle terminates. It should in theory be a very straightforward screw on process. Clyte states that all of their hubs have a...

    Got my White industries freewheel in the mail today. Its an 18T ENO. Sticking to a single speed on this bike because its massive motor width paralleled with the 135mm dropouts. Ran into some... issues. As you can see from the picture its covered in assembly lube (originally I used white...

    Thorium's Giant DH Comp Build

    Thanks Rube. The pack was commercially made for use with an adaptto controller (hence the 25 balance leads) and is designed to fit into the frame of a FUTR Beta (hence why it looks like a brick). I purchased it off of Hyena who wasn't using it (I think?) after I decided that a bunch of Turnigy...

    Hello ES Forums, first time posting here, but I'll get straight into business I've been a long time lurker of these forums and ebike enthusiast and after a lot of beating around the bush I've decided to build my own. I'm the owner of this beat up old Giant DH Comp, its an earlier iteration of...
