The motor shaft uses an unusual Metric Fine thread, M12 x 1.25 mm pitch.
Standard spokes are 2.34 mm dia throughout, length 253 mm, into nipples 13 mm long.
Spoke lacing is “2 cross”, meaning that each spoke crosses 2 others on the same side between hub and rim.
Standard rim is 700C Weinmann XTB24 meeasuring 606 mm across spokes, with spoke to bottom of slot in nipple. |
Correction to one dimension in the Front Wheel Rebuild article.
The front forks are 125 mm apart over the Suzhou Bafang motor, not 135 mm as originally stated.
The larger dimension of 135 mm is correct for the standard Shimano FH-IM70 freewheel hub in the rear wheel.
Apologies
