No prob, you will get things ball park accurate. Actually getting your speed up down hill with the dummy weights will help with dialing your front like you said. So where you at on your build being up and running?
At the moment we've got standard cranks and bottom bracket fitted, but we're waiting on the Schlumpf from Qulbix. Electrical equipment is still yet to go in as were waiting on parts from all over. Had to also play around with different derailleurs and their side profiles, as like Snell, in 5th gear we kept having issues with the cage hitting the motor side cover. So we've ordered another derailleur, which should arrive tomorrow.
We've got borrowed MT8 brakes fitted from Magura, but we're still waiting on these new MT7's to arrive - they said August.
I'd love to have this finished by end of August, but too many things are out of our control, and setting the controller and CA up I'm sure will occupy a lot of our time to dial it in right. I honestly didn't know how big of a job it was building your own bike to how you like it, even with parts readily available. Making sure everything is working together or can work together has taken up a lot of time. More complicated by the fact we're trying to run PAS, didn't know how much of a headache it was introducing a freewheel and cadence sensor into the picture. But the experience has been awesome, and it's all very exciting.
