Torque arm explained

[cwah]

Hello there,

Just found this new article on the torque arms:

Grin Technologies - Torque Arms

We all need to read and apply, to make sure our fork don't break under the motor torque!!

Does anyone know where they can be purchased reasonably? All those on ebay seem to come from the States.

Thanks
Alfaman

I've put my latest review on my brompton thread:

Don't hesitate to ask questions directly on the thread if you're interested

Hi Benjy,

I am in Iceland at the moment enjoying the sunshine.

We will be open again on Monday, so please email with any questions

Hi Benjy,

The width of the flats is 10 mm and the hole is 14 mm in diameter.

The one that fits onto the spindle is 4.2mm thick and is a good fit for the profile of a 14mm spindle- most are 12mm. The 2nd arm is thinner at 2mm thick.
There are other places that sell the torque arms but I'd suggest that the best are at ebikes.ca and the cyclezee ones (I've tried 5 different ones). I use one at each side made up from the cyclezee spindle half together with the 2nd half from a different set- they're thicker and longer than the cyclezee parts.
There are torque arms for a 12mm spindle rather than the larger and less common 14mm spindle.

a couple of pics of my torque arms (behind the rack)
(btw I like the new picture add thing that gives thumbnails linking to the pic!)

The Cyclezee torque arms are incredibly good, and just as happy fitted on a front fork, as on a rear dropout.

Very odd - the cutouts for the axle look far too big. Look at the photo of the front wheel - I don’t see how these would work.

 

[jerrysimon]

Yes you are right. Does not help that the pictures are different showing both hand and machine cut parts.

Also the picture of it fitted with a stock wheel does not help really either.
