Can anyone recommend a bike that would make for an easy build with a BBSHD kit 68-73 standard BB mountain bike style ? i have seen quite a few builds where people have had to use spacers or grind chainstays etc i am looking for a smooth first build if at all possible.
Which bike for a BBSHD build?

Hi deus.. I built mine on an old Carrera frame, You are welcome to come and have a look at it if you want, you are only 20 miles from me.
that means the ball bearings are in sealed units. Most square taper BBs are of that type nowadays. You can't clean the ball bearings in these BBs, when they get notchy, replace with a new one. They cost £10.
I just finished my Carrera BBSHD build and, maybe it's just my bottom bracket but it was a pig to install.
The threads on the BBSHD kept catching on the threads in the bottom bracket midway through. I ended up having to Dremel to get it in.
Other than that I just had enough clearance to get the speed sensor working with the bulky cable and socket.
Hello fellas, looking at converting my sulcata to electric , any links to best kits ( only due to thread age ) .. only around 500w will be fine for me.. thanks
