I’ve tried several Raceface Chainrings on my trail bikes of different sizes (32T, 34T, and 36T). These narrow\wide chainrings do an excellent job of preventing accidental chain derailment.

I’ve done three conversions with Doug’s 100mm axle conversions for the BBS02. While the conversion kits he sells are great, they require more attention while installing that what I provided initially. Hopefully you can learn something from my stupid mistakes.

I haven’t actually done much trailriding with electric fatbikes other than in snow and was actually amazed at the difference. I grabbed my massive 20 lb 22Ah battery today and rode for 3…
When it comes to connecting high power batteries to drive systems on your ebike there really is only one viable option. Anderson Powerpole connectors come in 4 main power ranges, the 15 amp, 30 amp, 45 amp and much larger 50+ amp connectors.
