Well I finally found a bike that I thought would werq well for a mid drive type motor install. So grabbed it up off of Craigslist Speedo says 104 miles although it's ten years old. I have to believe it as they cables have not even worn through the paint yet. Tires still have the nubs on them. Was happy until I went to clean the dust off and found the crack in the head tube. Looks like it was done when the headset was installed/removed? Guess I will have to weld it up although I have not done much welding I have managed to do well on all repairs I have made thus far. Yes I know the 7005 aluminum temper will be affected but I really don't think that will be a problem in this spot. Anyone in the know think different?
I have not yet decided on L hand or R hand drive nor on chain or belt. I would like to hear some on the plusses and minuses of each so chime in with what you have done. Any links to drive train parts, pulleys, belts, chains, sprockets, ect. if have them would be appreciated.
Thought on mounting at the beginning was to run a 24 inch wheel and put the motor in the space vacated by the 26 inch unit. Not sure if the room is there though. Ideas on mounting would be helpful as well.
