It's unbelievable how much damage them batteries can do. Although on the flip side, your workshop looks great now :D

Oh I see. The extra meat was at the centre of the frame inside the BB shell. I was coming round to the idea of using lipo. Now you just convinced me to stick with LiFe!! I just plug my commuter in every night and forget about it. 4500 miles so far. Good to know thanks. Hope mine arrives soon...

Thanks Kepler. I really should take some measurements to see whats what. Just looking at the Bafang drawing, it looks like the centre of the chain ring is 16mm from the face of the bottom bracket. Do we know if that includes the recess that speedmd mentioned earlier?

Chalz Thanks for the info on the Big Hit. Are you saying you had to remove some material from each face of the BB i.e. make the shell narrower? How much did you need to remove and why? Edit. You got any pictures? I’m well impressed with the top speed you are reporting, that’s plenty fast...

OK having read thru the whole awesomeness of this discussion I’ve decided to jump on the Bandwagon and ordered a 750W drive from AliExpress. My plan is to upgrade/de-Frock my Mac powered Big-Hit FSR which I built a couple of years ago for off-road use. I really like the idea of eliminating the...

Thanks for all your help guys. Some great leads there. I'm now in discussion with Paul (cell_man) about a mac kit but might still buy a dd motor from Justin just in case. I need a CA from him anyway as Paul is all out Cheers

Kris is "out of email range" for the next month :( Anyone else? Doc where did you find the Mag 30??

You gotta love this forum. Kris seems to be just 3 minutes away from Justin's place. Thanks Kingfish I have sent him an email see whats what. Cheers

Thanks Doc. That looks like a decent rim and gets good reviews. I think its basically the same as an MTX39 but about 150g lighter. Did you find them local to you?? If anyone is interested, the 24" 32H version is on sale at Chainreaction £20...

Hi Guys I'm after a little help here please. I'm about to start a new Specialized Big Hit build (will be documented on here :D ) and I need to find a 24" 36 hole rear rim to send over to our friend Justin to lace onto the motor. I'm finding that google is absolutely useless when searching for...

Kevin I can't believe I'm only seeing this thread now :oops: . I need to pop round for a catch up. Its looking good bud.

I'd be well up for this after having a go at the hill race in Bristol today. Have you posted on any uk forums?

Tench this is seriously impressive. I feel like you just jumped up and Tangoed me :shock: I'd deffo be up for a ride out in the summer. Please give me a shout if and when. Cheers H6yCgtehwUE

Very nice work guys. I'll be watching with interest

Yes I have a nice big rear fender on the front as shown in this pic. I take it off when going off road. The lower rear fender is actually the front one from the set. They keep the crud off of my equipment :wink: :D
