    Questions questions

    Exactly how mine got misaligned either getting the back wheel out or back in. Only visible once the axles were fully fitted into to dropouts and the dropouts weren't the problem - Thankfully I worked at a bike repair shop so tool access wasn't an issue.

    Help! Important Question about DD Hub Motor Spacers

    BTW - MY custom spacer ended up being originally for a dirt bike and then my mate cut it down to size, I then added a washer to the cut edge so that the washer/cut edge was flush against my frame.

    Yes. Do a search for stomp, dirt or pit bike parts/supplier, either in google search or ebay. Use all labels ie Dirt Bike Parts, Pit Bike Parts etc. I guarantee you'll find a supplier of 12 and 14mm axles and rear axle spacers.

    What is everyone's opinion on this set up?

    Not really - I knew my spec so I knew what I could forgive and what I couldn't ... I knew 250w was out of the question because of the inclines and weight hauling I do, research told me the higher the wattage the heavier the motor, together with the battery weight ... that mattered, so by...

    What is everyone's opinion on this set up?

    It would need to be limited - the motor capability is normally capped to ensure that it's not possible but myself I fitted an inline fuse between the controller and the battery... the fuse I use is 10amp but I carry smaller fuses so that if the motor ever got tested the fuse would blow instead.

    Conversion kit for 20'' folding bike

    Folding bike on inclines? I had one, it was a 20inch - I sold it and don't miss it and my current wheel is 500w which handles inclines and weights with ease. I'm not a speed demon so there isn't anybody looking at me sideways on the road. So if your wheels are smaller and your inclines...

    Discrimination against bicycles
