Interesting to see after RobridesEmtb’s build. Just a thought, the front brake line should go in between the fork and the front wheel… in case you crash on the left and damage the brake line.
Rob's video is excellent, I can't wait for the ride review. Thanks for pointing out the brake line, someone else caught that too. I don't know what I was thinking, I should have known better than that 😵💫. It has since been corrected.
Perfect timing, I was just wondering about building one of these. Would you please weigh this? I was looking at the lighter battery option but not sure if a bit of battery weight would even be noticeable.
Weight according to my scale is 43.6 lbs/19.77 kg. Not bad considering the only carbon is the frame and I didn't go light on the tires, drive system, fork, or shock either.
Yes! The nice thing about a custom build like this is you can decide what is important to you. I like having 160/150mm travel and the higher end Fox suspension. I ride some pretty rough trails with some drops and smallish jumps on it. More AM/Enduro than XC.
@@sandnapdo you know a mtb frame that hast 170-180 in front and 160-180 in the back? the trails in austria are no joke, my fox 38 died because the oil overheated and destroyed my bushings 😂
Thanks! The charging port install is at 18:18 ruclips.net/video/VDJJj5_l1-Q/видео.htmlfeature=shared&t=1098 . Check out my new video where I review the build and offer a few suggestions.
yeah the risk star nut tool from ali it is 😂 great video man, awsome build! im just so sad that there are no other brand options than bafang because i really dont like them that much.
Ding ding, you are correct on the start nut tool supplier. 😂 Thanks, I really enjoyed building it and I love the way it rides. So far the Bafang M820 has been great other than the flaky Bafang app. I solved this problem by buying the K1 flash tool and now I can set the ride parameters up the way I like them. I am considering buying a second motor to have on hand in the event that I need parts down the road.
Awesome build! I am just about to assemble my LCE930... How do you get the Bafang Connection cables through the Headset? Arent the connectors too big to go through the holes of the headset?
Thanks I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! The connectors were able to fit through the metal opening in the headset and the rubber grommet has slits that can slide around the cables.
I applied blue locktite on them. I also marked the position of every bolt with white nail polish and check it before every ride. So far nothing has backed out.
Awesome! Using your terms, loosely, lol. Yes they rattle a bit, I intend to open it all up again now that it has some miles on it and inspect the cables and install some insulation foam around the cables.
Ciao complimenti posso chiederti quanto hai speso in totale per assemblare la bici tra telaio motore batteria e componentistica? Il telaio dove l'hai preso potresti mettere il link? Grazie e buone pedalate
Ciao! Il costo totale della build è stato di poco inferiore a $ 3200 USD. Ho acquistato il telaio, la batteria e il kit motore da Alibaba, il nome del fornitore è Chanzhou Fieldbikes, Co. Jim di LightCarbon (jim@lightcarbon.com) potrebbe aiutarti a trovare il miglior fornitore per il tuo paese.
Hola desde españa espectacular resultado y buen trabajo ,la bici es presciosa sencilla y vistosa los colores enhorabuena,seria posible indicar el proveedor de alibaba al cual le compraste el cuadro,motor y bateria gracias crack ❤❤❤
¡Gracias! Construirla ha sido una gran experiencia y me encantan los resultados. El proveedor de Alibaba al que le compré el cuadro, el motor, la batería, la pantalla y el hardware es Changzhou Field Bikes Co.
For me so far, yes! I used the stock hybrid pads on my first two rides and the brakes even worked well with those. I did order some metal pads though which may even work better. I don't have a lot to compare them too but they stop my 19.7kg ebike with as much or more authority than my SRAM Guide R brakes on my Specialized analog bike. There are several reviews out there so I wouldn't just take my word for it. I will be ordering these for my heavier ebike soon.
It is a KS EXA Form 900i 445mm (150mm travel) that I bought from AliExpress. It is decent for the price but it sticks at the top occasionally and the lever it came with was junk. I replaced the lever with a ZTTO ball bearing lever (AliExpress) which works well.
Hey, amazing video dude. Building my own right now... I got 2 cables that are both green that I guided towards the head unit... looks like you only have one... am i missing some sort of connection or is that cable for like a light or something?
Thanks! I have the light connectors and the display connector that go to the head tube. I didn't install a light (yet) so I just coiled and tied it off and it's sitting in the down tube. I am interested in following your build!
Great to hear, I thought it was a light cable but I wasn't sure. I got the rockbros lights from Ali so I won't need a cable for it. I will post on emtb forum the full build. Thanks again for making these videos really helps keeping me sane... also I am really liking the carbon and finish on the bike looks really great. My build will be black stealth build.
The SL bikes seem to be pretty hot right now and since sub 20kg bikes are fairly new the used market for them is not great either. So far I have enjoyed my build which I have about 3000 USD invested in, it's hard to come close to that with a brand name SL. In order to get down to $3-4k you would have to pick a lower end build with an aluminum frame.
This is the tool I used: amzn.to/4ce8gWg. This is an affiliate link, I will get a small commission at no cost if you choose to purchase it. You can probably find the same tool at a bike shop or aliexpress.
They are IIIPRO E4 brakes I purchased from aliexpress. There are several reviews for them and they are all very positive. So far they feel excellent. They use brake pads that are compatible with some Hope and Shimano models.
awesome build! I find it relaxing and therapeutic!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great build ...gotta use some assembly compounds on all these bone dry bolts and nuts...
Thanks!

Tire logo and valve should be in line.

@@sandnap Thats a great build weight! Great build choices IMO. A bit of extra weight is worth it in those components.
@@sandnapso if you go light component you may end up with 16kg-17kg thats Scotts MTB like already

Lol... looks like and very powerful bike hahaha... will build a bike just like you did
Hello where did you get the frame ??
Do you have a parts build list?
Very nice video… what i didnt see is the charging port in the frame… i am really considering build one, any advice to give?

@@sandnap thanks for your answer, I just noticed it by looking at the headset👍✌️
No lock tight on the motor mounting screws? It is going to vibrate loose and disassemble itself.
I applied blue locktite on them. I also marked the position of every bolt with white nail polish and check it before every ride. So far nothing has backed out.
Here, are you putting something else inside or only the screw that links to the frame?
I replied in the forum but I'll reply here too! Just the plastic cover, nothing else.
Hi did you modified the crank remover or it is compatible?
starting build, did you route cables around the battery or just loosely then fit battery? do they rattle at all when riding?
Awesome! Using your terms, loosely, lol. Yes they rattle a bit, I intend to open it all up again now that it has some miles on it and inspect the cables and install some insulation foam around the cables.
so how good and reliable are those brakes, the lever look alike the magura
Brakes are very strong and reliable so far. The build quality is excellent.
Hi did you modified the crank remover or it is compatible
Hi! I am using the Park Tool CCP-44C puller (amzn.to/4d30kXF) and did not have to modify it.

What Kind of breaks are this?
They are IIIPRO E4 brakes I purchased from aliexpress. There are several reviews for them and they are all very positive. So far they feel excellent. They use brake pads that are compatible with some Hope and Shimano models.
