I have had some excellent support from your 'esteemed pedelecer' Nealh just now. I had contacted him via personal message as he had helped me last year on this forum so it didn't appear on this discussion page. I would like to put it on public record what a great site this is for support and...

It looks close enough. My dropout width is more (147mm), but I have a lot of spacer washers (see photo), so I am guessing that they probably are the same. Hard to measure exactly with spokes in place, but I get 127mm spoke hole and 140mm flange, so it may be I need a new set of spokes although...

THis sounds like it really is a goer! I look forward to seing the pictures, but am pretty confdent it will work out. The wheel builder is very helpful too, has built quite a few motorised wheels. If it's all good we'll need to sort out how we do the transaction etc. Would it be more secure if...

More: I have just found a local wheel-builder who is happy to do this for me. So it looks like all I need is a motor. It's looking more hopeful.

That's helpful, but I don't know where to go from here. I have looked online and can't see any 29" wheels with motors that aren't from China (long wait for delivery), that would be easiest of course. I am also finding it hard to locate a wheel builder. I may have found one, but he would need...

I know this is a freewheel hub, but I could get a cassette if necessary.

Here's what I have:

That looks interesting. I'll locate a wheel lacer and let you know very soon. The motor looks similar to mine. I'll sort things tomorrow. Cheers

Just to be clear, you suggest getting a replacement hub motor and get someone to build a wheel for me using my current rim.

I have a Bafang clone rear wheel. The axle has snapped so I am guessing that it is not repairable (please advise if I am wrong). I am not sure where to source a replacement wheel. Everything online seems to be a conversion kit. It is a 29" MTB wheel with a freewheel (not cassette) and disc...

Perfect, Brilliant!! If you email me nottnick@gmail.com we can sort it. Thanks etc. etc.

I have really struggled to get a shifter. I paid £40 for a pair (uneccesary) but it was all I could find. They only shift the gears from 11 to 5 even though I am giving 9 clicks (the site said they were compatible)...

Hi, I have had to change my 10 speed freewheel to a 9 speed freewheel. My current shifter is a Shimano Deore 10 speed. I am guessing that for correct indexing I shall need to get a different shifter. With the bike on a stand, the chain doesn't seem to seat very well. Is anyone out there able to...

A faulty screw-on freewheel. (interesting it is 10 speed - unusual). Only got to this because I had to take it off to get to the motor cover. Swapped it over onto another bike - and fault transferred with it. Easy solution (and much cheaper). Appreciate all help. Happy, can cycle again and have...
