Hey guys... few weeks ago I ordered the "official" kickstand for these EE frames.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...ro-Ebike-Electric-bike-frame/32825365509.html
Installed it last night and noticed the spindle on the stock bottom bracket (100x144) is not wide enough to allow the left pedal to clear the kickstand LOL! Immediately went back online... an hour later realized the vast majority of the pics for these frames rarely show a kickstand. Some don't even show cranks or pedals. Heckin' bamboozled!!!
Seems like they tasked an engineer to design the extra long HD kickstand after the fact but they forgot to tell him it also needs to clear the pedals. Pretty sure the "complete" $4-5000 bikes from China have already swapped in a wider BB, they just don't mention it.
So, has anyone else hit this road block?
*edit* Ordered this 100mm BB with a 177mm spindle. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/hig...32696213446.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7sVTvV
Should give me 5-7mm of clearance for the kickstand. I'll post before and after pics when it shows up Friday'ish.
