I am not new to mtb by any means, but I do have on order my first ebike. I have heard that ebikes chew up chainrings. Do you all just replace with another aluminum one or go steel? Direct mount steel or 104bcd steel? Want your opinions! The ebike I will be getting uses Avinox m2. I am leaning towards getting a spider and using a steel 104 bcd chainring unless opions differ?
always Steel on an ebike... Both bosch and avinox motor systems are hard on drivetrains, Using linkglide or Advent MX pro 11 speeds are excellent and long wearing with Really good shifting performance.
I use the SRAM direct mount one (aluminum carrier with steel outer ring). Lasts forever.
Bike comes with Shimano 12s mechanical. Thought once that wears out transitioning to 11s linkglide. Worth that in your opinion? Are the new RD-M8200 and RD-M8230 rear derailleurs interchange? Like could I use the 12 speed one for 11 speed linkglode with the correct shifter?
Two for two on steel being real.
I dont see why It wouldnt work as its the shifter deciding how much movement happens.
Im not confident to confirm that though, I went Advent MX Pro as it was cheap to try and I have not been disappointed, its interchangeable with linkglide parts
I use the e13 ebike bash ring. Ugly but necessary for me and its super cheap to replace 104bcd aluminum chainrings. Didn't matter what material I used before that because the chainring would get smoked on a rock long before it had a chance to wear out
I had looked at that too. I do hit the bash guard on my trail bike quite a bit, would probably be a good idea to go this route. Also would bring back old school dh bike vibes haha.
