Hi codger,I fitted one of their kits (250w 36v 26" rear wheel) and it's been good so far,Am 6ft 1" 20+ stone and it works fine for me,It's one of the cheaper kits available but it does the job.

hi tabs,
good to know,they come with a 6 speed freewheel fitted don't they,i have an 8 speed click shift on the bike i am using,hope to get away a with putting a 7 speed freewheel on,with fettling,worried about chain line
cheers

Aye 6 speed freewheel,I did fit a 7 speed freewheel and it worked fine until the bearings inside it failed(think it was a cheap Chinese copy)so the 6 speed is back on until I can find another 7 speed freewheel at a reasonable price.

 

[codger1]

cheers,i am looking for a 7 speed now,a bit of mooching on the net should do it,impatient now the ideas in my head to get a kit
