Hi, I have been following the forum for a while and reading various build threads and issues with installing the TSDZ2 and Bafang BSS02.
I have a Whyte Glencoe which has 1x11 SRAM gears, and looking to install either of these two motors. From what I have read there may be two issues with the bottom bracket area.
The chainstay clearance – from reading online I believe this should be a minimum of 68mm. From measuring this on my bike, it is very close. Can a spacer be used to push the chain ring out slightly?
Cable exit points – they run through the downtube and exit at the bottom bracket but are sleeved all the way. I wondered if it would be as easy as just removing the cable guide, or if the cables would still fouling the motor?
With the 1x11 gearing, is there a chance that the chain line would be impacted?
I have posted a few photos of the BB and chainstay, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
