Yeah but still got those pesky easily damaged or misfiring deraileurs ! Had to look that up that gear thing Never heard of pinion before. Very clever stuff. My kinda thing totally though. Clean and bullet proof Go whole hog then and have a belt too . Or even a shaft drive? (Fully appreciated...

I've done exactly this before- I had a LBS do it's for me (55 quid Inc rim, spokes and labour but I didn't get the cheapest rim)

An added advantage front hub/rear igh (alfine 8 for me) is the fail safe aspect Electrics fail - no problem, bike still works Chain breaks, no problem- motor still functions so bike still works Igh have far fewer failures in terms of gear slip or skip, need no adjustment or maintainece by...

I've replied to you , hopefully you can see

So what do you think? Can these dropouts cope with a bit of filling?

Ditto, I have retired my old best headlight which took huge voltages New best headlight runs off the 4 x 18650 pack (I bought empty case and used decent cells)

No dremel so I shall be going with a metal file and elbow grease

Yes, though it happened automatically after a tapatalk update . No idea why and fixing it not quite got to top of the list of things to do :)

Decided I shall risk filing the dropouts at the weekend. I'll admit to being a wee bit nervous mind !

Ahh good point ! Unless 9mm torque arms exist ?

Oh, why not please ?
