    BBS motor with Gates belt...

    So, after about 4 or 5 weeks and a little over 200 miles all is still good with the 3 speed conversion, I ended up using the original narrow axle as fitted to the Sturmy 3 speed and just adjusted the o.l.d. to about 130 mm using spacers between the lock nuts, the axle thread had a good few turns...

    Video Editing Software for PC.

    I've just down loaded DaVinci onto my Windows 10 desktop but it keeps crashing. As it's loading I get an error "unable to load plug in: USD.plugin DLL initialisation routine failed" It does load and I'm able to import and combine clips, but it'll frequently fail and the program closes. Any ideas?

    BBS motor with Gates belt...

    I'm just back from an initial test ride after fitting the 3 speed and all seems good so far, there was a bit of a noise which I've just identified as the link in the single speed chain passing through the tensioner, but other than that I'm happy with the conversion from 7 speed derailleur.
