I want to try to mount an IGH under the swing arm and in front of the tire. I won't know until everything is in front of me.

single cog would work but then you need a chain tensioner and regular bmx chain, and its cheaper to use a derailur you have kicking around with 7-9 speed MTB chain components off a donor bike
edit: sorry to hear your bike got stolen you need any parts?
You need a shorter shock and also did I hear you say you're running a 48v controller and a 60v battery? That's not gonna work long. You will fry your controller but I guess it's a cheapy anyway so no biggie but you definitely need a shorter shock. I wouldn't go changing the frame cause you're messing with the geometry. Call vector and ask them what size shock it takes. Just my 2 cents.skeetab5780 said:Ehh ok.. need to address shock issue to improve ride quality

I’m about to start my first rear-hub conversion project, while thinking about a more specialized frame further down the road, so threads like this are my favorite thing on the internet right now.
Did the new crankset fix your chain issues too?
