I have been riding the BBS01B in all weathers on roads / cycle paths and here is my impressions. Pros Weight in middle Good hill climbing ability Spare parts easily available Cons Crank arms not that good quality, they work though (people recommend thread locking pedals in crank arms)...

Hi, does anybody know the pitch if the threads on the BBS02 Iocknuts i.e standard, fine, extra fine. Thanks

I don't align the year magnet on my BBS02 so the PAS does not work, I find this provides a much more natural feel. Lekkie do crank arms that help the Q factor. https://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/store/p83/Lekkie_Buzz_Bars_Offset_%28pair%29.html I have tried both rear hub and mid drive, I find mid...

I had a look for your bike and there is not much detail. The only thing I can think of is that your chain line is affected. It might be worth trying to add a couple of washers to the crank bolt and then fully tighten again. Post some pictures of your bottom bracket and we might be able to tell...

Your chain might be too short due to the amount of teeth on the biggest chainring causing tightness in the system. Take a photograph of your rear derailleur when you are feeling the tightness and post it on here. It is not advisable to use your biggest chainring and biggest gear on your rear...

Would this work 142mm OLN fitting / 174mm overall length, QR pivot to end of skewer's pin. https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/hub-spares/shimano-fhmt401b-quick-release-skewer-142mm-y3hw98010/
