Thanks for that, I Will possibly need to get professional advice to help with setting up the derailleur but will hit YouTube first as I would like to do it myself, first self build project and that's my only issue. Cheers.

Hi, I have built my pedelec with a Cyclotricity 1000w rear hub motor with an 8 speed freewheel, I have fitted a Sram rear derailleur but have found that when it is properly set, it is really close to the side of the hub and when I accidentally downshifted when already in first gear, the derailleur caught on the studs on the outer edge of the hub. This has buckled the cage on the derailleur. Can anyone recommend a derailleur that is more suitable to allow a little more clearance from the studs to prevent this from happening again. Any help gratefully received. Cheers. Keith.

hi all, I am new to the world of pedelec's and have started a build with a cyclotricity 1000w kit, looking forward to letting you know how I get on, and will no doubt have a few questions for the more experienced self builders out there as I go. thanks. Keith.
