I installed the kit on Friday morning. There were a few things that required a little thought and a try to the hardware shop but it really did go on pretty easily. A couple of the issues were:
Had to space the axle out with an extra washer or two.
The torque bar wouldn't fit with the brake disk bolts. So i got a counter sunk bolt for it so that it didn't clash, also had to space this out from the hub a bit. The issue being that there was a fine line between the torque bar being to close to the hub and then then spacing it out to find it didn't have a good bearing on the flattened part of the axle.
Speed sensor can't go on the gears side, so i had to zip tie (for the time being) the sensor to the frame. The magnet ring is on the bottom bracket.
And thats about it really. Next will be to paint the new rim and battery black.
I've done about 20 miles on it this weekend and had a great time doing it!! It's really fun and does exactly what i wanted, which is to get exercise with a partially paralysed left leg. Really looking forward to building up the miles.
(there was a spare piece in the torque arm set, so used it as a zip tie point)
