Pictures of the shaft fitting into the dropouts. Pretty much goes right in so the shaft is flush with the top of the droput ? And torque arm which I need to figure out which way and which side to it it on, if needed ? Won't the steel dropout insert be sufficient ?

P112 is def better. Need to lace it up and try before I go any further. Thoughts on torque arms ? I do have one in my box if bits but never used them with my Tongxins though they were always put into steel fork dropouts. I need to show some pics of the dropouts as they are not very deep and...

What would I do without this forum! As you state it currently set to 87.

Ok all tested after a bit of faff seems to be working with throttle. However half way through the throttle push it seems to change its rotation sound like it's changing gear ? Also is this really spinning at the right speed ? I guess for a true test I will need to lace it up ?

$30 though as I said I did not ask him to.

Thanks. Yes aware of the potential for distaster! Do you think this motor will need a torque arm ?

Thanks Nealh

Q100 Hold on that cant be right this is lighter than my narrow width Tongxin motors I use on my Brompton! Gosh, clearly things have moved on. I have to say this whole buying from China experience has been so much easier than back in 2009 when I purchased my first Tongxin back before the...

Motor turned up so quick delivery but still took 5 days for BMSB to take it off the shelf and post it lol Well/super well packed. The all important connection wire All looks correct spec. Wonder if I should remove the 350W sticker :( First impressions is this motor is smaller and...

Motor turning up today. Going to be a busy weekend. Good job my wife is away visiting her twin :)

Well gizmo turned up today. Ordered Saturday posted Monday arrived 07:30 today pretty quick! He sends them EMS but once in the UK Parcel Force deliver them. I did pay a bit more for the faster delivery. I haven't been sent an import duty bill yet. Fingers crossed. Box a bit battered...

No problem. My gut feeling is its not a perfect fit. It can stay in my box of bits for a little longer. It certainly would be suited to a 16"/20" wheel though. You could try and get one from KeyDe at the correct 201 RPM.

I test rode this bike a week ago and that was my exact experience. I put it down tot the assistance cutting out. It was very off putting. I tend to agree with D8veh's explanation.

Got a wayward bill of £31. Although I asked BMSB so deliver by cheaper Parcel Force appears they have sent it via DHL for the same cost. If I recall overall bill including shipping was £103 so I guess that is their 20% + £11 admin. Maybe like D8veh said its better to get BMSB to pay your...

Well BMSB took nearly a week to pick a stocked item, quality check and finally post! Their email exchanges were friendly. Should be here before the weekend. I took a chance and ordered my spokes in advance using the data from ED spoke calculator https://leonard.io/edd/ Left/Riight Flange...

Agree a programmable controller would be the best chance of you having success with this motor. Jerry

Well if you want it how about £60 + PP ? It been in my box of parts for a year so I will test it, unlace it and pack it up for you. I will post a another pic as it has spacers on it I made because the wire comes out just above the shaft and depending on your forks frame thickness you may need...

Talking myself out of a sale here, but thinking back whatever controller you use it must be capable of reducing the current. Mine has settings for different levels of assistance 1-3 and I had to set this to about 60% of the max 6A power to ensure it worked with this 260RPM wheel in a 700c rim.

11 Amp might be a little high. If I recall I tend to set these around 6amps. I do have a controller that you can program lower. If you apply too many amps you can hear the roller bearing "slip" It worked fine when I tested it in my daughters lady frame (Pendleton) bike. As you know Cambridge is...

Maybe send them to Belgium first and somehow pay less duty ? Jerry
