October 6, 20223 yr Hello all, since I mounted my TSDZ2 on a full suspension MTB, I wonder why the Bafang motors do not require a mounting block and the TSDZ2 needs one? Thanks for any explanation!
October 6, 20223 yr The tsdz isn't as robust and there is a chance the motor housing can crack, that siad i'm not using the mounting block attachment as my bike doesn't allow for it to be used. Now it's fitted I shall use it till it breaks, then lob it for a nice reliable front hub motor. Edited October 6, 20223 yr by Nealh
October 6, 20223 yr To be fair, the Bafang and TSDZ2 are not the same. The TSDZ2 contains a torque sensor that built into the spindle/axle. So the torque sensor, spindle, bearings and shell has to be accommodated into a bottom bracket shell that's only 34.8 mm in diameter. Defenders of the TSDZ2 argue that this is the only mid drive motor on the market that achieves this. (afaik) Better quality or more expensive motors (e.g Bosch) have a custom frame and dont have this 34.8 mm restriction. Edited October 6, 20223 yr by Sturmey
