Have any of you seen, or even better, built a BBS motor into a Fsr Stumpjumper & if so did the S shaped downtube cause the motor to sit too low? Also was there any problem with the gear case or chain wheel fouling the chain stay? Steve

I know that it is recommended to have the top of the steerer tube about 5mm below the top of the stem, but I have just swapped a fork from another bike & the best I can get is 13mm. This leaves 27mm of the steerer gripped by the stem. Any thoughts on the safety or otherwise of this setup?. Steve

I have just bought an, as new Norco Charger 7 with a 17 inch frame. I intend to fit a BBS02 motor, my battery is a Woosh 15 ah HL. It is simply too big to fit inside the frame triangle. Would it be practicable to fit the battery upside down under the downtube. Both the rack & the bottom of the...

Will a 10 speed XT mech work with an 8 speed cassette & shifter? I believe 8 speed & 9 speed are interchangeable but I don't know if a10 speed mech requires a different amount of cable pull. Steve.

I am building a BBS02 36v 500w motor into a hardtail Kona frame. At the moment I am running a 36 tooth Precialps Chainwheel at the front & an 8 speed11 to 30 cassette & a old style (but as new) 8 speed XT mech. Chain line is not good, the chain wheel is in line with 7th gear. The rear wheel...

I want to add a computer with cadence readout to a BBS02 powered bike. The cadence sensor will obviously be very close to the motor, would the magnetic field of the motor be likely to affect the readings of a wireless sensor. Cateye make a wired "Strada" model which has reasonable reviews on...

I have built a BBS02b into a Kona Lanai hardtail frame. I would like to lose the excess cables inside the downtube but the length of the cable connecters means that to get the angle to insert them inside the tube I will need to drill two 20mm holes. The tube is quite beefy. I have already...

I have just built a BBS02b into a hardtail Kona. The motor is exactly as it left the factory, with 3 power levels. The motor pulls well enough but the take up is very abrupt, both from a standstill & after stopping pedalling. I previously had a GSM motor which was much smoother but less...

Came across this on ebay Shimano Nexave ST-C530 three speed hub to take 8 speed cassette. Has anyone had any experience of this hub. If it is strong enough it might work very well with a crank drive motor.

I have one of the very first batch, Though I have only recently started using it. I have most of the problems reported by others. I saw a post by Trex saying that the version fitted in the Woosh Bali is successful. Does anybody agree, or would I be better off giving up on it & getting a BBS 01...
