Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if you can help.
I've just bought a Whyte Ridgeway that I am very happy with, that I'll be using to install my Bafang BBS02.
I came accross someone on here who had successfully done a conversion with an earlier model of the Ridgeway which gave me some extra peace of mind when researching.
The 2019 version I have is very similar, except there is internal cable routing. The cables exit the frame underneath the bottom bracket.
I'm really hoping this isn't going to be too much of an issue but I'm struggling to find much info anywhere.
Has anyone done a midrive bafang conversion with the same routing? From what I can gather it might mean I need to make sure the bafang Doesn't rest against the frame? I have a stabilizer bar ready which might help secure it more.
Or maybe the cables can just be taken out the frame and run along the outside instead to solve the problem?
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not installing the bafang myself, but as my local bike mechanic isn't too keen to be doing make-shift bits and bobs (fair enough) to make it fit. I wanted to find out if there could be a simple fix. So he doesn't send me away to find another bike!
I really love this one and have waited bloody ages to get hold of it.
Cheers in advance
