Additional Info
I converted the frame to accommodate the Pinion.
To do this, I had to design the mounting bracket, which was 3D-printed in the appropriate alloy and then welded in by me.
I also had to install a belt lock on the rear triangle, which was hand-filed from titanium and glued into the carbon rear triangle.
The cables for the Pinion run through small tubes that were specially welded into the down tube.
The original belt tensioner couldn’t be used due to space constraints, so I modified a chain tensioner and made new pulleys out of titanium.
The bike was built using components from my hardtail that have proven themselves to be absolutely reliable and definitely suitable for bike parks—where the bike will spend a lot of time—but can also handle some climbing on its own.
The maiden ride last week in Finale Ligure showed that everything works as it should and as intended.
