My New Build

[saneagle]

To add to the above, I just read the email from Yose Power (Joey) again and his actual words were, "I think it will fit" (the 2.0 tyre).

To be fair to Yose Power, their service has been very good.

Yes. I've bought stuff from them and been impressed with the service.

Chinese 20" wheels are always 406mm, but it's just as well to check. I converted a Raleigh 20 that had 251mm rims and rim brakes. 45mm difference is massive. Unfortunately, I didn't realise the problem until the wheel was built the first time with a 406mm rim. The brake wouldn't adjust that far and it didn't look right with odd sized wheels. I couldn't get a ready built motor wheel in that size, so I had to get a bare motor and build my own wheel. I also had to rebuild the rear wheel to match, and it had SA 3-speed gears with a dynohub, so the spokes were different on each side.

Indeed you can.

However I don't own a Bafang, so I prefer to make my own labels (saneagle gave me some help with that).

Here's the label I made for my MXUS on my other bike:

That is a brilliant solution.

Much kudos for that.

Looks totally professional.

I don't know what you did for a living before you retired but you should have worked as chief mechanic for a professional cycling team or worked in R&D for a quality ebike company. Now you use all your knowledge to give advice to idiots on an obscure eBike forum. I include myself as one of those idiots by the way. I does make me chuckle mind, when some noob starts arguing with your advice, like they know better. I don't know where you find the patience.
