    This is normal as the Nuc comes. You don't need to change any wiring - you need to change the 'Disable button' setting in 'Controller - Extra Parameters' to Switch (make sure to not set 'Button', otherwise you may not be able to re-enable the controller without some shenanigans). The key is...

    Oh I know, but I'm already about £2500 into mods on this thing so waiting a couple of months before I pull the trigger on a battery as well :lol:

    Any idea if there's a way to tell from the battery what the BMS will trip at? I thought the newer batteries were more restricted than the old ones (60A?) but my 24F came preconfigured for 90A, and I bumped it to 100 a couple of days back and it seemed fine drawing the full 100A even down at 28%...

    Thanks, this is AWESOME information, particularly how to deal with the potting :D I wonder if maybe thermal pasting the Nuc 24f case to the plate inside the stock housing would help? Although the 24f case appears to be heatsink-ified anyway so probably end up wasting a ton of thermal paste :|

    I saw someone who mounted their 24f inside the stock sur ron controller heatsink. I might have to buy a dud controller to try that, I love the look of the stock controller. I think most people with the 24f's have 'completed' the Sur Ron upgrade journey and have moved on to riding the thing :lol:

    Not forgotten - this is exactly why they don't ask for an upfront payment, because they can't guarantee delivery at any particular time. FWIW mine should be good to go in about a month (I actually ordered mid Feb, not January), so yours might be ready around the same time - it's definitely worth...

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    Thought I'd post an update as I got some really good advice earlier in the thread that helped me road-register my non-road-legal Sur Ron in the UK :D There's a 'loophole' in the UK where if a bike fits certain dimensions, it doesn't have to go through a rigorous type approval process (which...

    Thanks both, exactly the information I was looking for 👍 Now just to find someone 'local' who I can convince to build a wheel 🙈 Happy to do most stuff myself but wheels are rather tedious... Fallback to Josh @ wickedwheelworks if necessary but rather avoid import and shipping costs from the...

    Awesome - I'm looking for a Cane Creek headset in the UK so this will be super helpful. Upper: ZS44/28.6/H8 Open question - anyone know what the head tube lower dimensions are so I can match the correct lower? (rather not take everything off as soon as it arrives just so I can order bits :D)

    Yeah this was my understanding, I've done a similar change on my 'legacy' bike (Husqvarna 701) which started life as a supermoto with 17" f/r and now has a 21" f and 18" r, but that was without any change to the suspension. I think what I can do initially is get the Fox 49s and an adapter to...

    I've seen a couple of examples of the 21" front but none so far using the '40, the main draw is a wider choice of tyres over the 19" and as they're moto tyres should be way sturdier. Doesn't look particularly penny-farthingy to me (example below) but that one's not using a '40... Seems like...

    First post, hi etc, thanks for all the grand information in this huge thread! Maybe getting a bit ahead of myself here but I have an LBX on the way that I want to eventually upgrade, Nucular 24f on preorder and some other bits etc. I've come across a used Fox 49 Factory (29er + boost fork)...
