China Carbon

If my di2 battery is any indication (apples and oranges, I know) they’ll be just fine.

That’s surprising, but your winters are at least as cold as mine, so…

Today I bought a long enough cable to try full housing, so let’s see if I can fix it and forget about it without spending another bong that I’d rather put into more carbon rims.

My fat bike takes full housing and the Yokozuna was magic. Might be the best shifting I’ve ever ridden

Theres a few people out here that ride AXS year round and I haven’t heard any complaints about battery life. You can check battery life super easily and pop them off to charge anywhere.

Maybe I’m just paranoid from years of camera and phone batteries going from full to zero in a few minutes in -10C.

It’s been a mild winter this year…

Finally got my bike. Now to get it painted by local guy. Very tempted to just build it and ride it.

what’s the trick for using those plastic fake cables to get your actual cables through the frame?

dental floss and a vacuum?

It came with plastic string already in it so that’s sorted - how to attached the plastic fake cables to the real cables to use the fake cables to thread the real cables

are they plastic cables and not sleeves? Been a long time since I built an internal bike, but sometimes they came with sleeves in them that you could just slide the cable right through. Otherwise, maybe some electrical tape or a dab of super glue or something

Is this where we talk about knockoff parts? I’m interested in some not-ugly 160 or 165 Hollowtech II cranks

these aren’t knockoffs, but I don’t understand what makes them ebike specific or how you mount a ring

Mid-drive ebikes don’t have the ring mounted to the arms, it’s part of the motor drive

oh well that makes sense, damn. none of the acoustic samox cranks seem to come in sub-170-way
