Missed another one..

Hi Una, I'm sorry I missed this. Are you organising any other events? I use a 8Fun 250W mid drive in an old steel bike. Thanks, Chris

I'd be interested. I'll need to check my diary.

Sorry, Box Hill would be my meeting place of choice.

Hi Si, Ken, I'd be up for meeting and I"m sure Neal and Keith would be interested as well. What weekends work for you all? I'm looking forwards to riding my ebike this year :). I've just ordered a Nuvinci N360 which I'm hoping will improve my bike's performance. I might also order a lighter...

Thanks Eddie. Maybe we can organise a ride around there at some point. Hard stuff is better for my bike at the moment as well. I'm still working on improve my bikes climbing ability... I'll prob change my rear gear hub.

Cheap Chinese bikes are often very heavy..

Hi Nealh, how's things? We should aim for a weekend then, prob meet around 12noon again? Ride, then pub and see what happens.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone would like to meet up again at Box Hill?

Rims are fairly cheap I guess. Not as bad as it could have been maybe?

Ok, so I've spoken to an engineer friend. He's up for trying to find a solution. It might mean casting news parts and drilling the 8Fun drive shaft face...

Hi Nealh! Sorry, I just meant people in general. I thought more people would be interested in this modification. Sorry to hear about Keith. If he needs any help or anything.. We could maybe meet at Box Hill and work on his bike or something.

So, if I get this mod working, I will post a video. Hoping to have some more time today to work on this. I have to say, I'm surprised people aren't really interested in this mod.

I still need to work out how I will attach the chainring.

Getting there. I'm having to work this out as I go along. The black casing will be screwed to the side of the mid drive (I think). An additional cog (not shown) will attach to the drive plate on the mid drive and drive the planetary gears and chainring. Make sense?

I now have the spider. Just waiting for the Hammerschmidt to be delivered.... Also, just incase I need it, I have bought a Truvativ square taper crank arm (for 4 bold chainrings). I really hope the Hammerschidt arrives tomorrow so I can work on this on Sunday...

I've found the spider adaptor I need.

Hi d8veh, I don't think it will be a problem. I don't intend to use the Hammerschmidt crank arms. Also, I'll be a attaching the hammerschmidt to the area where the standard 8Fun chainring goes.
