2 Magic Pie III Fronthub for sale EU + 21month warranty incl

[Sam.Vanratt]

Hello community
as I haven't been contacted back from GoldenMotor nor could I find not find any normal fork (apart from let one construct & build for about 1200EUR) taking the 14mm as it should or the high torque I will better sell my second and third MP3.
a) It's with USB programming cable and thumb controller, wires, brakes and co. HNmotors.de gives 21month (from 24) warranty. Hasn't been changed since arrival so brand new. (just hub not spoked in)
b) same as above but spoked in (28"=700cc Mavic A319, Sapim Strong spokes and A4L nipples to reduce corrosion compared to A2 standard stainless steel, MP3 with cables, brakes, thumb controller). antera.de gives 20month (from 24) warranty. The spoking have been done by a german specialist and will endure everything (dirt, weather, ice, rain).
I bought two sets of Schwalbe Marathon Plus 28*1,75 = 47-622 which I could join if interested.
I'd sell EU quite cheap (about 10EUR) and worldwide if wanted incl the right packaging and secured transfer with tracking. If wanted I could put it on ebay to make it more safe with 250+ 100% recommendations on my account.
Have a nice week

I use the "Surly Instigator" fork on all my eBikes,

which costs about 80 € and is very strong.

Additionally I mount two "TorqArm_V2" from http://www.ebikes.ca/store/store_connectors.php

(I use 72V battery with external KBS72121 power-contoller)

You should never use aluminium type forks with high-power motors, like MPII/MPIII.

They will sooner or later break!

Hi jvr
I already tested the Instigator, but it couldn't take the 26mm nut natively and the dropout is too short to give the washer enough room to fit and the dropout is built for 10mm axles; I contacted Surly early this year, but they responded with a simple "no way_ not build for that" AND in Germany the modification of the fork (or any part) voids the warranty (fork, complete bike, insurance) so I had to let one build (in Austria) which was very expensive but which could take the force (200Nm on the dropout) without any mods. As I use my bikes for professional use I need the insurance in any case whatever happens.

I already sold one now via ebay, but because there was no other bidder it was sold for 50EUR (1/8 of the price) to an Thai (GM) reseller. As the loss is enorm I will let another one build, but this time in Germany. I was not prepared of the desinterest in the MP Series, because I'm pretty much impressed by the design. With a few modifications it's even an unbrakeable one. Just the axle worries me as I cannot seal it to become corrosion resistant...
Cheers and thanks for the tipp (even when the instigator seemed the best available for the job; it's really strong and CroMo4130 is brilliant).
