If you were recommending a setup then what would it be? X1 Pro G2 with the ASI? I am getting closer to having a bike to put one on and would like to pull the trigger on a purchase.
I was unsure which is why I made the thread. I know Carbon is really strong as a bike frame, but having things strapped on to it changes the dynamics. My current carbon bike is a beast and has been through hell without the mid-drive so I didn't see a problem, but also don't want to build...
Thanks for searching. I created a spreadsheet and have logged the stack/reach/chainstay/top tube etc for everything that could possibly come close to my size. Up over 200 frames. Custom would fit better, but finding a custom frame manufacturer that will build a steel frame with long travel...

I've been searching, but am 6'7" with a 38" inseam and not flexible at all. Getting one in my size hasn't occured. Was afraid you'd say that.

In many places on the site, I see recommendations to avoid carbon frames but these are mostly referring to drop outs in support of hub motors. I currently am in the process of contemplating a GNG Cyclone kit or the X1 Pro on my bike. For the bike, I currently own a Dengfu Carbon Fat bike or...
I don't expect perfection....that would be boring. That being said I want it to work without replacing half the system and for it to be fundamentally reliable. (ie, self inflicted things I am not concerned with, but if running at 1kW melts gears it is not reliable).
From your comments I...
I've been shopping for a kit to put on an Enduro bike and reading all the threads I can find comparing them. Is this GNG kit now reliable enough to consider moving forward with? In the Cyclone thread, the first 20 pages have members berating GNG like crazy...
