    Grind crank arm or new BB

    It gave full power and with wheel lifted it is around 16mph form what i remember. What I mean is with me on it on the flat it was about 12mph I think but on the flat my pedal speed is more or less 15mph anyhow. Would be more if I ditched the knobly tyres and fit some hybrid ones but don't feel...

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    I re fit the front derailleur and gear shifters today and removed the throttle as after a 15 mile ride yesterday I have no use for the throttle only as without pedaling its a bit useless and under powered on its own. Pedal assist seems great though and even though it was on 2 or 3 most of the...

    Magnets are stuck on with epoxy so doubt they will come off easily.

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    I am quite pleased with how they fit. They did not look right on top of the levers at all due to shape of them.

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Right its all fit apart from waiting for riv not tool to arrive to fir those securely and fit torque arms. I got brake sensors fit in the end. I sanded sides down to make them narrower to slide in the lever gap as seen in pics and they work perfect. Pics -...

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Your right it would help a lot so may have a look. Took all front derailleur and levers off now though so may leave as is. I think twist shifters would help too. I am considering a single chain ring crank too. Not got a chain guide on yet so will see how it goes without one. Gonna have a mess...

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Deffo cheaper cable disc route. To be honest I gave it a try this eve with tie wraps holding battery in place and motor stopped very fast once I stopped pedaling so may be able to do without. I tried it up an hill from my house that normally kills me and got up doing around 12mph with pedaling...

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Probably cheaper to fit cable versions and use the levers supplied. How much are the ones from the rio mtb? Could I just use the levers or would I need the full kit?

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    cable disc calipers look cheap enough so may swap both as its gonna be a neater job imo. Need to have a look at what will be compatible.

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Shimano M395 according to online spec but not sure without going and having a look. Would be neater to use supplied levers. I assume I would just need to buy the calipers and cables and it would be fine with my discs? I could just swap one too and only use one brake sensored brake?

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Looked at that pic earlier but my shimano levers look trickier to fit. Gonna have to figure out something tomorrow. kit is almost fitted apart from waiting for a threaded nut rivet tool to come tomorrow courtesy of yet another amazon prime 30 day trial lol Few pics -...

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    It is on left and feel in an OK position. But it fits better with front gear changer removed so the derailleur has been ditched too.

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    No idea how to position the hydraulic brake sensors on shimano levers. Any one got a pointer? Would have been easier if I had cable discs so I could use the ones provided but its not gonna be that simple is it.

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Not really as my bars get too thick nearer middle. It's gone now anyway all fully removed. Next tricky bit is darling holes as wont be able to get my drill into the space so may need to go buy yet another tool lol. Should have bought a complete bike as this is a ball ache. 3 hours my arse ha ha.

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    It is on the left now. It gets in way of gear levers which ever one it goes on so I have removed my front derailleur now to make way. Top ring will be fine alone now its electric I am sure. I may replace the crank to a single chainring one in the future. I will buy a chain stay thingy too.

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    It's not quite as far in no but I have some torque arms in post already. Fitting the throttle is a pain too as it either gets in way of gear changer or it's too far away from the grip to use. I may have to and remover the front gear changer and lock front derailleur or get a chain guide to...

    Grind crank arm or new BB

    Right the wheel is now fitted and without catching the disc. Pics - https://photos.app.goo.gl/YRtICOEemykVSHUv1 Now another question. There is not much room on handlebars so considering removing the front derailer controls mainly as its always on top ring anyhow and rarely use the 2 smaller...

    It's more like 5 mm to be honest as the dropouts are not that deep. I have killed 3 grin tools already to go about 2 mm
