New member, currently clueless, thinking of a conversion

Does that kit come with the cocaine, or is it an extra?

Unfortunately the BBSHD is out of my price range...

Going back to the batteries, can a rack battery be customised to mount on the downtube? While the rack battery would be fine for the Whyte (its basically a commuter with a pannier rack already fitted), i f i wanted to fit a kit to my hardtail mountain bike, a rack would look out of place and i imagine the handling would be poorer with the battery up high. Given the Whyte is a commuter bike the handling is of less concern to me.

I don't think you'd want to customise the battery, more make a racklike mounting for it on the downtube. It might be uncomfortably wide. You could probably do a lashup with string and rope just to see how it would feel.

A new member has fitted a rack battery inadvertently thinking it was also a downtube one as well, they are rather wide generally to do so.

Hmm, i hadn't considered that they would be wider, just that the fittings may be different...

I have just called Woosh and they have informed me that they dont have the rack kit available either (they have everything except the rack itself..)

What are the other reputable dealers that the forum recommends, preferably UK based

I am really sorry, the new shipment arrives beginning of July.

Would you consider selling the kit without the pannier rack?
