Also failing that anyone know either a supplier just for the battery or what would happen import duty wise if I ordered one from China for delivery to the hotel I am due to stay at. Thanks

Does anyone know a supplier for the BBS01 kit that is based in the US? I'd like to get a kit and battery delivered to a US address without it coming from China. Thanks

Ah ok that may be it. It's just something I never noticed before even though it now makes a loud enough noise when the wheel is turned slowly. Maybe I need to find another one to compare. The squeak when going forward is definitely new.

Would that be the case even if the motor is disconnected? How would I test that?

Is that normal? I'd not noticed it before. The brake is disconnected when it squeaks. Not touching at all. It seems to be coming from the hub/freewheel. I've tried that screw. It doesn't appear to shift the derailleur at all. :-(

No there's a gap there as well. The rumbling/notchiness as when i turn the wheel backwards so the freewheel moves as well and the squeak is when I move it forward.

Hi d8veh Thanks for the quick reply. There's a good gap between the freewheel and the frame of a couple of millimeters. I cannot see anywhere that it is touching. Even if it were I'm not sure I could even get a washer in there as I already have to lever the frame open to get the wheel in.

So I'm not sure what the problem actually is so I'm afraid this may take a while to explain (sorry). I have a Mezzo that has been converted with a rear hub motor. The 9-speed freewheel cluster was replaced with an 8-speed in the process and all was fine. I only had it after it was converted. I...

Saw the ones on ebay and noticed the name :) Looks like those are pretty much the only make available and mostly US from what Google tells me. I'll give him a shout. Thanks

Ah thanks. That's a shame. No experience with freewheels and now I have to find a 8-speed with 11 teeth which seems like a challenge. At least I'm going in the right direction now :-) Thnaks

I have a 16-inch hub motor wheel with an 8 speed cassette on it. I wanted to swap it out for a shimano hg50 cassette I have that has a lower tooth count. Unfortunately when I removed the wheel I found the cassette wasn't quite what I was used to (see the attached pic). Teh remover I ave...

The 30 tooth ultegra could be a possibility. The rear 25 tooth on the hub is the largest that Sturmey do but I believe the standard one is dished (and may be reversible) and there is a flat option. This may alleviate the chain alignment problems. I suppose without actually trying it out we'll...

Unfortunately the bike is limited to hub gears and the sturmey is the only make that will fit :-( If I had known then what I know now I would have done it differently. I could do a front wheel conversion but the crank motors seem so much neater. I've sent Sturmey (well Sunrace) a query. Thanks

I'm looking at converting a bike with using BBS01 or similar crank drive but the problem is the bike has a Sturmey Archer 8 speed hub gear which necessitates a front sprocket that is only 30 teeth. Is there any way to accomplish this with the BBS01 or is there a crank drive kit out there with...

It's all fixed now. It was the PAS in the end. It must have been shorting out as you said. The wires had a fair amount of bare wire and a little silicon to waterpoof but not enough to hold them apart. Redid the connection and it's all working now. I'll get a replacement when I can find one...
