Unrelated, I sheared the 11t cog off of a deore cassette on a M2S powered e bike the other day, simple boost mode parking lot test. Definitely not likely to happen on trail, but something consumers should be aware of.

Sounds like a manufacturing flaw in that cog, probably a small one that isn't super common.

The only solution is a new hub-cassette interface standard !
Wait no two, one Sram one Shimano !

Did anyone ever find out what brand this bike is?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that cassette was loose

Diaper bike under a Pinkbike editor the day after Jason rode it. So, should be a release soon I would imagine

Those are so ready! Little foil/silver tape to cover the name on the top.

Something new for the Pivot Phoenix? Glued rear triangle it seems?

Lugged rear end. Probably just testing a different stiffness / length for the rider. They wouldn’t do a major change after just releasing a new bike…

The Phoenix has a reasonably short rear end iirc. I think Dylan Maples was testing out longer rear ends to make it more similar to his previous Commencal.

Linkglide is the only e-bike appropriate drivetrain at this time. Which is sort of amazing to think that SRAM currently has nothing to truly compete. Linkglide/ Di2 is also the only e-bike appropriate drivetrain that can be hardwired to an e-bike motor, the Bosch.

 

Still, what exactly did you think would happen running a 2.7 hp motor, on pavement with such high traction, in top gear on a bicycle cassette, and probably at speeds well below 20 mph so likely at a low cadence?

 

Shit's going to break!

After working on a open reservoir akin to hope's brakes that definetly is messier than the cup, I still prefer the reservoir. There is gunk and old oil that does not escape the system unless you flush with copious amounts of oil. 

The bleed was super simple too, as I just pumped the oil from the caliper to the lever.

I had this happen on an XT cassette on my analog bike during the final stage of an enduro one time. Luckily it was the steepest stage, but was still very sketchy as I had no idea why I lost drive. I was dumbfounded when I put my bike in the stand later and only counted 11 gears still in the chat.

I say it all the time: 12 speed is just not meant for ebikes. Zero problems on Microshift Advent MX 11 speed: steel cassette with a Linkglide chain. Same for Deore 11sp. Even then with my Shimano motor de-tuned to 60nm I only get 500mi out of a chain. 

I pedaled an Orbea Wild Avinox around in a parking lot recently and am not surprised this happened in the slightest. Way too much power. It's a shame Big Derailleur™️ doesn't make a fully wireless 11sp. I've had random shorts and electrical issues on a past ebike and when the bike wouldn't turn on it was great that it just be came a really heavy mountain bike since the derailleur wasn't wired into the battery.

Based on the drawings that I was able to find on Google images, that’s the new sentinel. I really wish I had it saved. I can see if my buddy screenshot it.

Look great. I bet they are great. Won’t buy them for 3 years because shimano. Just shinano’nn stuff. Appreciate that they take their time but my last two shimano brake sets were nightmares on the trail, and in the stand. I learned a lot about bad design and I learned not to rush to buy shimano - oddly like sram back in the dirty covid years. 
But yeah, they look pretty sweeeeeeet.

Dirtbikes need dirtbike parts. For dirtbikin’

Which is super fun.

It does sorta look like the top of galby. I haven’t been up there in a while, and I heard there’s a taco truck and a flannel shop near the radio tower now. Also: it would be very transition to make a bike that pools water under the lower shock mount like that. And abandon the recently lauded chips design at that same location. Very transition.
