Hi,
This was fitted in November 2016 after about 40 miles of using the stock Bafang chainring (think it was a 46T) on my BBS02 kit and stayed there right up until when I removed the whole kit off my first electric bike at 220 miles, so it's done 180 miles and hasn't missed a beat. My chain never came off ever during that 180 miles of use (unlike stock which was all the time!) and except some marks where the chain was mated on the teeth, it's in great condition.
Unfortunately I had to replace it with a 36T as this didn't fit my new project bike due to the short chain-stay angles. The smaller 36T more closely matched the single chainring setup of my new bike anyway which came stock with a 32T...
I remembered that I had this after looking through my parts bin after the latest conversion.
This is probably the best upgrade you could buy for the BBS 01/02.
They're about £70 now from Brighton E Bikes which is where I bought it from (and the 36T! :0D) so I think £50 is fair including postage and fees if you decide to pay by PayPal. Cash and local pickup is fine if you are close by. I live in Stalybridge SK15 area.
Below are some pics. This first one is on my GIANT XTC just before I removed it. The second is when I test fitted it to my NORCO Torrent.
Any questions post here or you can private message me.
Thanks,
Simon.
