    11 speed shimano chain ring for BBS02

    You have a BBS02? You certainly don`t need an 11 speed cassette along with that thinner chain. 7 speed is more than adequate, along with an ebike KMC chain, you`ll have a narrower chain line as well, less chance of the chain coming off

    Police say electric bikes illegal in Northern Ireland
