I received my ebike conversion kit yesterday and tried to install the front wheel. My front fork drop-out is way too small.
REVISED: Purchased a caliper and measured the slot for the front axle and it is 8mm. OUCH!
It takes a 13mm (or 1/2" for a better fit) wrench. I started filing the drop-out to see if I could make it fit but quickly realized that is was going to take a lot of filing and would probably weaken the drop out. I took the wheel and installed it on my wife's bike just fine. My bike's rear wheel takes a 15mm wrench so I'm thinking I need to order a rear wheel direct drive motor.
What should I do to make sure it will fit before ordering?
Thanks
