Okay, Snacks... temporarily moved the thread to a higher traffic area. Hopefully, you'll get more assistance with your build here, if you need it. Let me know if I can help you with anything else and good luck with the build!
Nice, looks good. Looking forward to seeing the build.
Your build thread is down here in the Ebike section where there isn't much traffic currently. If you want me to, I can temporarily move your thread to the 29er section, and that may give you more answers to any questions you may have.
Hasn't passed Congress yet, but if it does 30% is a pretty significant incentive to go for an ebike. It will be interesting to see the details of it and if it is limited to complete bikes or could be used for a frame puchase. The total max allowed credit is $1500 so a $5k bike would be $3500 and take maximum advantage of the credit. Pretty sweet deal.
Posted in the other thread as well. Sent a message to topfire. Production is starting after chinese new year for larger sizes. Price is 680usd so not as good as the inital 499usd price. 10pcs less $30 50pcs less$50.
Thanks for the info. Not sure if it's worth the effort for a $50 dollar discount? Open to the opinions of the group.
Pretty disappointing how the original seller just bailed out of the deal.
Thanks for the review and following up with the update TripleDot. I have a riding buddy looking at the DT Swiss upgrade kit as we speak and think he's going to try these out based on your experience.
From what I can tell, ZTTO seems to be a good overall source.
Hmm it seems like there are multiple ebike frame options with both Bafang and Shimano e-bike motor mounting options. Thinking I definitely need to build one with less travel. I'll gather some more details.
I also read a comment on the video that they wont sell it to North American market, hopefully hes wrong or they change their mind when they see all the people coming from the video wanting to buy.
Oh really, I didn't catch that. If it is true, surely it's just a matter of time before Dengfu or another company offers it to the U.S. market. I'll contact them and find out.
I've been waiting for a long time for there to be a good option in the open mold Chinese carbon E-Bike frame category and a powerful but budget E-Bike motor that will fit it and I think I've found it. Came across this guy's video on YouTube and thought I would share it here for inspiration. I think I'll use this build as a template for an E-bike build of my own sometime this year. Excited to see this space develop and grow and present even more affordable options.
No news that I know of. I'd honestly be surprised if this deal happened at this point. We'll just leave the thread open just in case. I'll attempt to reach out one more time for an update.
