Can you fit a hub motor when the forks have no dropouts , I think the Barracuda has through axels.

Very true my forks don’t have a caliper mount but they are heavy steel forks of an old Ridgeback frame, so I should be able to weld on a mount.

Thanks for the reply, I will have to buy a disc and see if the holes line up . I have good rim brakes but I think the weight of the bike would benefit from hydraulic disc brakes, can’t see why it wouldn’t work either. Andy.

I have a 2009 Bafang 250w front hub motor, on the inside of the case are six blind holes that look like they could be used to fix a brake rotor, do you think this is what they are for ? they are on the side of the motor where the cable connects . Thanks Andy.

I don't want any cheap crap

My bikes been fine never a problem, it's a Ridge back hybrid 27",fitted with a BF90 250w motor in the front wheel and has a 10amp controller But I could do with a bit more torque on steep hills so I did the controller shunt mod with a bit of solder maybe too much .It was great for about fifty...

Hi, I just bought a rechargeable angle grinder from lidl it has a 2ah 20v battery pack. I had a look inside the battery pack, and there are five green 18650 cells. So are these 4000mah cells. 4000x5 2ah ? Thanks for any comments. Andy.

I never had one but three of my friends had, Andy had a blue one Steve had a red one and Peter had the 5 geared one, needed brazing from time to time and the front wheel used to shake like mad when you went downhill at speed but still an iconic bike. Happy days.

Take the return spring out, that's what I did on my Thumb throttle.

(Are sellers taking over the forum) On a whole I would say no but one or two sellers plug items they have for sale a LOT more than others. Maybe there should be a limit on how many times they can plug there own items. If I were to start a thread on lets say wallpaper I know of one seller...
