allrighty.. pic of the 2 stands in action..
Pic of the MT4 rear brake. Note the rotor has been spaced out so i could move the caliper out to not hit the bolts especially when turning right. Took me 2-3hours to get the bugger perfectly inline. Almost Every bolt required a different thickness spacer. Im sure as soon as it heats up all is for not..... Also I removed the lockwashers on the motor cover to give me more space. Gonna go for a ride in the morn and see if they loosen. if it gets too bad perhaps some threadlocker blue is in order...

. Read some of my old posts, you will see what not very enlightened at all. Thanks to patient guys like Hyena, Kepler, and others, I learned the good stuff along the way. [quoteI'm thinking about installing a Cromotor V3 in my Fighter][/quote] I haven't tried cromotor yet, but I did recently try the 5403 on my Fighter which is what the Bombers come with. Similar in weight to the cromo with about 1.5 pounds more. Went faster top speed, no acceleration advantage at all, but that was because the 5403 has a 3 turn stator vs the H4080s 4 turn stator. Anyway I felt it in the handling as it handle a little slower, which is what would most likely happen with the Cromo. The Cromo has a 4 turn so it would no doubt accelerate harder than the 5403 and 4080 with less top speed than the 4080 due to its wider stator. All in all, I liked the smaller H40 our motors come with much better in terms of handling and every where else. I even contemplated putting a 5404 on my Fighter, but after comparing the 4080 to the 5403, I don't want to mess with Stealth's perfection combo on the Fighter. Don't get me wrong, if you want flow huge current through the most durable set up out there, and you want speed and power like no other hub motor that a free wheel can be mounted to, the 5403, 5404, 5405, and Cromotor are the very best options currently available. This is one of the reasons why Stealth uses the 54xx on the Bombers. I think the sweet compromise is going to be the TC4080 when they come out with the standard spoke flange instead of the straight pull that's available now. Then I can lace one of those to a MC rim of my choice. Hopefully that day comes soon so I can find out. As far as your free wheel goes, yah the LBS was correct, you don't need a new one. The fact that they steered you away from purchasing something you didn't need is a good sign. This tells me these guys are looking out for their customers. I would continue to do business with them. That said, I just picked up a White Industries 16t Free Wheel. It is the best piece of bicycle jewelry I have ever seen. No doubt that will be on the TC4080 when I get one for my Fighter. Only the best for my mean green machine.
