    Little tip for removing the chainring with the reverse thread. Use a chain whip for a cassette to hold the chainring while you undo the fastener 👍

    Great work Rob! A worthy cause to support too. It's a pity that the bike's a XL or else I'd be putting in a bid. In the past I've been a bit 'meh' about emtb's, however, after today's ride on familiar trails where I spent a great portion of it it on a borrowed Liteville 301ce, I've got a new found respect for their abilities.

    Superb video Rob. I learned a lot from this. One worry, though, is the ease with which you took out the lock and battery with just an Allen key! Good for your build but scary for security and protection of a massively expensive battery. With encouragement to cycle more I’d worry leaving my bike locked up anywhere!

    On the locking mechanism your missing 2 long black rubber washers which stop the battery moving when locked in. Without them the battery will vibrate the lock apart over time. I know cos I had the same issue which ended with me stopping on a rocky downhill section just in time to catch the battery cover and battery as it fell out my bike 😳

      You need to make sure you have the correct eye to eye and stroke length for your exact make and model of bike. Then once you have that you also need the correct mounting hardware to ensure the eyelets fit. Usually the shock manufacturer has the kits, you just need to find the right one which is determined by what shock you use and what make and model of bike you have.
