Glad you bring your experience by pointing out the adjuster position was backwards.

Can't wait to get my five star got it in matte black and stock each day is like waiting an eternity, you've been doing a great job covering this ebike more so than any other KZread channel and for my first ebike this is very important information.

Outstanding video! Simple enough that a chimp like me understood it completely. Yet technical enough to get the full capability of my soon to be delivered bike.🎉

Very informative video, saved for when my Five Star arrives.

Best 5 star review on the internet by far great job!

Best video on this subject of suspension set-up. Thanks a bunch when I get my new e-cells bike I will review and set up my suspension. Keep up the great videos!

Nice high quality, funny video, thanks for sharing. FYI, I found out from David Cleavland himself Hentach recommends not exceeding 230 degrees Fahrenheit motor temperature. To turn on motor temp set C8 to 1.

Same sag method as used for motorcycles.👍

This is getting serious! You are starting to provide extremely useful information! Lol

Useful video for those unfamiliar, and clearly explained. TY. Good to know about the issue on the bike.

Dang. You sound like you know what you’re talking about. Great info. Great video.

very informational, thanks for the video!

That was an incredible video.....I learned a lot....and I am going to try and use that information for my Roxy (front only) and Betty (front and rear--albeit not air shock).....Great job!!

thanks! The process is generally the same usually even if its not an air shock. Just different ways to set the spring tension

helpful video ✌️

Thanks! Now I just need the dam bike lol

Great catch.....U R smart....

Thank you so much man this video just helped me out a lot. I've been messing with my suspension in the front and rear the last few days trying to figure it all out. Just set mine up exactly how you have yours in this video and it's way better than how I had it. I haven't flipped my rear shock around yet but now that I'm getting way more travel in it I may have to, we shall see.

Another awesome video! Thank you for making these vids for a suspension noob like me! (Also, really cool that you made one that's Five Star specific! I'll have to make a note to flip my shock when I get it.) Do you have a recommended chainstay protector?

Great information! Good stuff here. I was thinking and messed around with my generic shock I have laying here and I was able to move the spacers in the eyelets around. Then you could maybe run your shock upside down and reach the adjustments. It looks like it would clear that way from your video but I dont have the bike and maybe it wont? Just a thought. Thanks for the video! Very helpful!

I was thinking about that, but don't know if the shock is designed to work upside down. Might not get the oil distributed correctly that way

@@shootthechit LOL ive been googling around. Way to long. lol. Anyways I have mounted shocks upside down on I cant remember if it was a sandrail I built or a custom gokart I built but did with no issues. They where not air. I cant find a for sure thing on that shock but looks like most people say yea with some saying no. Some say try it wont hurt. Some say it will take life out of shock. lol. IDK Maybe you can get ahold of ecell guy who can contact shock guy and get answer. Or just do it. lol But once its adjusted you really dont have to mess around with it so maybe leave it.

@@rabbithomesteading3797 Yea thats kinda where I'm at with it now. The only issue with mounting it backwards is adding additional air, so once I get the pressure where I want it, I don't really need to worry anymore, you can reach the knobs, its just a little more difficult.

Is there a mountain bike kit that you would recommend? I have a cannondale jekyll full carbon. I don''t really want to spend another 2000.

Great informative video! Can you please do one on how to adjust the derailer? I noticed your chain bouncing all over the place. Is there a way to create more tension to reduce the slop?

Hah, when I figure it out myself maybe! I really do not like the Shimano Tourney derailuer that comes on what seems like every ebike. They come out of alignment so easy

I might try and remove a few links from the chain to see if it helps with the chain slap

This seems like a useful video but I usually just get a bike and ride it. The only thing I adjust is the seat. Lol

And actually watching your video again I just noticed that your rear shock is much closer to your battery than mine. Mine is a good inch away from the battery but yours looks like it's almost touching the battery. Same exact setup as you have. The only thing I can think of is maybe yours has had more use so the shock has moved more forward towards the battery maybe? I'm not sure but it doesn't look like I'll need to flip mine around like you had to

I let air out to demonstrates how close it gets, it's not as dramatic if it's fully inflated. You will only make contact with it about 80% compressed

Why did you turn the shock around? I must have miss that.

@shootthechit

The compression knob hits the battery case when it reaches around 80% of its travel if it faces forward. This is going to be addressed in future Five Star releases. I turned the shock around so it would no longer make contact

Curious to see if you get over 6000 views on this video like you did on the Wired Freedom suspension setup.

I don't think as many people have this bike yet, so probably not for awhile

After reviewing your shock mount bracket, I see the problem. My lower bracket was raised up higher, so my shock is fine where it is. You may want to ask for another bike, or have someone make a new bracket.
