So on my newly installed 250/350 watt front wheel hub motor, there is simply no room for any torque arm on the spindle, I even milled one of the expensive locking nuts down to get the spindle end flush with the out end of the nut, milled a washer thinner for more clearance. Had to move the fender wire to a new location, there aint no room in the in.
So what price
welding a socket (19 MM) onto a steel bar 0.125" x 1" about 6" long clamped to the aluminum fork to hold the wheel nuts.
Sockets cut down on the back so that the bars lie flat along the forks.
The positives as I see it.
the nuts wont ever losen, tho' you would not need to carry a wheel nut wrench, just undo the clamps.
The spindle would be held from spinning both by the drop outs and by the sockets.
Low cost, simple design and neat looking.
Note, am new to ebikes and want to learn, but do not want to be a load or outstay my welcome.
Thank you.
