Hi, I don't have many posts, but I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a kit.... I have a Schwinn 24sp aluminum mtn Bike this will go on with v brakes and separate shifters and brake levers. The kit is http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ebikeling-E...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item20f1a56668 according to the ad, it's 135mm spacing with a single freewheel, so I imagine it's not the same 9C clone motor used in the majority of the sellers kits?(says a 5sp requires 150mm)
I did a search that got me nowhere, just info about the 1000w 9c clones. I like the idea of losing the rear derailleur, but keeping the frint one for soem adjustablility to climb a hill in limp home mode(breakdown, dead battery). The single rear seems like it will solve the problem of dishing or needing to buy a new shifter for a 5-6-7 freewheel, vs 8sp cassette. I know i'll need to keep the derailleur as a chain tensioner, but not overly worried about that. my mtn bike has more usable front gears for the street as I swapped the 42/32/22 for 48/38/28 years ago.
Is anyone familiar with this motor even if from a different source?
