    it's easier to change the rotor and keep the same gearbox. You have typically 8 coils on the rotor. If you wind 16 turns instead of 8 turns, you can get to the same result. The main issue is heat dissipation with this method.

    you have a quick release at the rear too. The diameter of the opening is 9mm, motor axle's 10mm so you will have to widen and deepen the channel a little bit. I use a dremel but a round file will work as well. Check also the dropout width. It's usually 135mm-140mm.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Apparently, Bojo promised to a group of 80 moderate tory MPs that he won't fight the next election promising no deal. Wait a minute, didn't he authorise the memo sent to the Spectator yesterday? If he gets to fight the next GE, then A50 would have been extended. What about his no ifs no buts?

    The TSDZ2 multiplies the user input, with half the cadence, he'd have to push twice as hard on the pedals. It's comparable to riding the normal TSDZ2 on 11T at the back instead of 22T.

    I asked because you have rim brakes. If you want front hub, then the XF07 would be my recommendation: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/product/uid-197-xf07kit-17ah/xf07-front-hub-kit-2026700c-with-17ah-battery If you want rear hub, then XF08C...

    front hub is easy to fit to your bike but rear hub conversion gives you better traction. what is the tyre size on your Carerra? I can't read it from your picture.

    I would recommend the woosh Krieger to you. It has a throttle in case you don't want to pedal. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?krieger

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    talks broke down a couple of hours ago. The Pound drops back down to its lowest level for years. It looks like some in the city were trying a 'dead cat bounce' maneuver on the Pound. I don't mean to compare the Pound to a dead cat.

    Motor & Battery Combination.

    A hub motor works effectively as a CD motor stuck on one of the middle gears.

    that would waste most of your battery power. It would be like using a rheostat to step down the voltage. Think of the controller like a good DC-DC buck converter. It wastes less than 10% of your batttery power.
