    Newbie considering an e-conversion. But what.

The BBS02 cannot be used with standard chainrings unless you use an adapter which again more cost. The...

    Hub motor and V brakes - how long will the rim last?

    Isopropyl alcohol is good for cleaning rims and disk brakes, I put some on a bit of kitchen towel and give them a quick wipe. Isopropyl alcohol smells so better to do it outside if possible.
