Torque Lock

[Graham Roberts]

I converted my MTB with the Electric Bike Conversion 250W front wheel kit last year, which has been very successful. However, whilst the wheel comes with torque washers I have since been advised that the addition of a torque arm would also be a good idea.

1. Does anybody have any experience of these + are they any good?
2. I have found the Torq Lock online but nobody seems to have them in stock - anybody know where I can get one?

Thanks, Graham

That's great, many thanks.

Does it matter it they're fitted on the right or left hand side?

On the left 'cos the cables on the right.
It normally reaches up to mudguard lugs, but sometimes you have to do a bit of engineering, like this:

Yes I thought that might be the case. Wow that's a serious bit of engineering. I've ordered the 12mm version which will hopefully do the trick. Many thanks for your help.

will hopefully do the trick

I'm worried about use of the word "hopefully"
