    Motor sputter at higher RPMs...

    UPDATE: So it appears that the fix for my particular problem was simply to change the Max Throttle Out setting on the CAV3 to 3.3V. This seems to have fixed the issue (hopefully for good). Thanks to both Mike and Vad (from PowerVelocity) for staying on top of this and getting to the...

    Motor sputter at higher RPMs...

    Thanks for this Alan. The last paragraph, especially, seems relevant to me. One of the scenarios that causes my "jittering" is when I go over a speed bump and have the throttle engaged. FYI, the bike is a hardtail so your comment about stiffer transmissions (in my case a wobbly chain because...

    Motor sputter at higher RPMs...

    I've run into the same problem. After talking to Mike I'm just going to revert back to an old 18fet Lyen. It's a trapezoidal. We'll see if that fixes things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fork update: Found one on eBay. 2015 RockShox Pike RC Fork 27.5 130mm 15x100 thru. Solo Air. Tapered. New lowers. $250. 7 1/4" left on the steerer. Seemed like a good deal. We'll see. General build update: Wrapped the excess phase wires in an old inner tube. Doesn't look too bad in my...

    Annnnd the "controller in a bag" experiment did turn out great. Controller is now mounted on the seatpost tube, I'll paint it matte black at some point to help with aesthetics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bike is largely built. Still waiting for a used Pike to present itself on craigslist/ebay etc. In the mean time I put a rigid fork on just to get things rolling, if you'll pardon the pun. -Bird Zero TR (XL) frame -Lightning Rods Big Block Single Stage Motor -10.8 Ah of 72V Grin LiGo...

    2004 Giant DH Comp rear suspension

    Hey Folks, Does anyone have experience pulling the rear shock/spring from a 2004 Giant DH Comp? Ideally without removing the chain ring. I'm 225-230 with gear and the sag is a little much, I hoping to replace the spring with something stiffer. An ebike buddy commented today that I, "look like...

    Thx. Funny you should recommend the Pike. That's what Bird puts on the top trim level of this bike if you buy it complete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well I have the frame in hand, Mike's new single stage has arrived, and I've got the EX1 cassette, chain, derailleur and shifter's. Apparently a Bodyfloat seat post may be in my future if my kids are feeling generous for Christmas. All I need is to figure out the right front fork to throw on...

    Haha. I'm guessing typo. It cost 125 GBP to have my frame shipped. Then UPS screwed me $193 CAD when it landed. Maybe talk to Ben at Bird and see if there is another way to ship (rather than UPS). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LightningRods mid drive kit

    Hey Daygr, I'm not set on what tires/tubes I'll be running yet. For what it's worth, though, I ran wide-ish Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires with big thick Kenda inner tubes for about 3 years on a rear wheel direct drive; one flat. I was pushing about 3000W through that system. Odds are I'll...

    Hey folks, Anyone have experience with Bird frames out of the UK? Specifically with respect to mounting a mid-drive on one of their long wheelbase hardtails (likely the TR) ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey Mike, That looks mighty familiar : ) Can't wait for it get back up here. Re: "Cleverly". Haha. "Cowardly" is more like it. Drilling into a frame is waaay above my skill/confidence level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2004 DH Comp sizing question

    Does anyone have information on sizing/measurements for 2004 DH Comp's? The Giant (giant.co.jp) website only lists 2 sizes; seat tube measurements are listed as 380mm (15") and 420mm (16.5"). Yet mine measures 18" from center of BB to top of seat tube. To make matters more complicated I'm sure...

    How to mount the darn controller!

    In the past I've had success "hiding" connections in seatpost bags that I've punched holes in. People expect to see seatpost bags on bikes so I don't think it detracts from the aesthetics. Chalo / Dogman / others probably think I'm bowing to fashion/the establishment : ) Sent from my iPhone...
