June 15, 201213 yr Hello there, Just found this new article on the torque arms: http://ebikes.ca/torque_arms/Torque_Diag2.jpg Grin Technologies - Torque Arms We all need to read and apply, to make sure our fork don't break under the motor torque!!
June 16, 201213 yr Does anyone know where they can be purchased reasonably? All those on ebay seem to come from the States. Thanks Alfaman

June 16, 201213 yr Ah yes, sorry Frank I was being dim...John, same question to you! Hi Benjy, I am in Iceland at the moment enjoying the sunshine. We will be open again on Monday, so please email with any questions
June 17, 201213 yr Ah yes, sorry Frank I was being dim...John, same question to you! Hi Benjy, The width of the flats is 10 mm and the hole is 14 mm in diameter. Regards,
June 17, 201213 yr Hi Benjy, The width of the flats is 10 mm and the hole is 14 mm in diameter. Regards, Great, thanks for this.
June 18, 201213 yr The one that fits onto the spindle is 4.2mm thick and is a good fit for the profile of a 14mm spindle- most are 12mm. The 2nd arm is thinner at 2mm thick. There are other places that sell the torque arms but I'd suggest that the best are at ebikes.ca and the cyclezee ones (I've tried 5 different ones). I use one at each side made up from the cyclezee spindle half together with the 2nd half from a different set- they're thicker and longer than the cyclezee parts. There are torque arms for a 12mm spindle rather than the larger and less common 14mm spindle.

June 18, 201213 yr a couple of pics of my torque arms (behind the rack) (btw I like the new picture add thing that gives thumbnails linking to the pic!) [ATTACH]3762.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]3761.vB[/ATTACH] Edited June 18, 201213 yr by aseb
June 18, 201213 yr [ATTACH]3763.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]3764.vB[/ATTACH] The Cyclezee torque arms are incredibly good, and just as happy fitted on a front fork, as on a rear dropout.

June 22, 201213 yr These look interesting for those with disk brake fittings: New Type Torque Arm Kits For Ebike Conversion Kit | eBay Regards Jerry Very odd - the cutouts for the axle look far too big. Look at the photo of the front wheel - I don’t see how these would work.
June 22, 201213 yr Yes you are right. Does not help that the pictures are different showing both hand and machine cut parts. Also the picture of it fitted with a stock wheel does not help really either. Regards Jerry
