I'm not sure if this could be of any help, anyway... I'm using MQCON 7245 without PAS connected, only throttle. On lcd I can choose (supposedly PAS setting) 0 to 3, but without PAS connected it sets max speed limit and max power, for 1 being the weakest and 3 being the strongest. With the wheel...
Little progress, motor installed, might need adjusting here and there... Chains rub when on 2nd chainring on crankset and 7/8/9th on rear wheel. I'm going to put piece of sleeving over that stretched derailleur cable, so it won't rub against bracket.
Edit: Had to leave to work, but I was...
@fourbanger, that's right, the motor has got welded plate with 4 holes. Using u bolts would be the easiest, but the problem is when I align motor sprocket in line with the largest crank sprocket, motor mounting plate is sticking out to the left arm, so 2 holes are under the frame and another two...
How freewheel on the motor not gonna work? It's purpose is that I don't turn motor shaft when it's off, while pedaling, especially cos it's geared motor and harder to spin by shaft. I know I could do that by using freewheel on the crankset and add 2nd freewheel on the crankset so I don't have to...
Thanks Chalo, for now I plan freewheel on the motor shaft only and 3 chainrings in total. I'll probably get that freewheeling crankset but for now I'm ✂️ costs. And I think I found the way around that wide motor, I'm going to buy 175mm left crank arm only with needed offset. And it doesn't come...
Hey Lads, I've run into little problem.. Motor and freewheel sprocket from China arrived today, it looks like motor is about 2-3 mm wider than space between cranks. More precisely left crank arm has no clearance to turn around IF I'd like to mount the motor less than 15cm from BB on underside of...
I've ordered dirt cheap, MY1016Z3 36V 350W geared brushed motor for £52 shipped from AliExpress, and 12T freewheel sprocket for £15.
I thought about adding chainring crank on the left side, but I'd need different freewheel for the motor or chainring, and going this way, even if I decide to...
I've been thinking about that freewheeling crankset and I have another question. This crankset from sjs cycles has 104mm pcd, and triplet on my bike, although it's one piece triplet, has 104 pcd too. What if I take that off and bolt it onto crankset from sjs cycles and add 4th chainring, let say...
@fourbanger thanks for reply. I'm still trying to match all necessary pieces to have complete freewheeling crankset, but I don't want to spend half of what it all cost me till now. Tartybikes sell threaded crank arms but they're not cheap and with length >170mm they have only isis type- that...
@Voltron thanks for input, actually I wouldn't call myself lycra rider lol, I feel more comfortable in shorts, only when it's cold/wet I wear those leg warmers. It also helps when wearing knee leg guards (long ones). I don't use my bike for commuting, I put it on towbar mounted bike rack and...
@amberwolf, I never ride while wearing long trousers, only shorts or shorts on top of lycra leg warmers, and shoelaces are secured under velcro straps on my shoes, so there's nothing to be caught by chain/sprocket.
I also thought about getting A4 acrylic sheet (3mm?), and making chain guard from...
Just to add something, maybe it could be one of the cheapest mid drive conversions lol, with 36V 350W motor and 36V 10Ah battery. Along with controller, throttle, watt and amp meter, freewheel sprocket for motor- £180 :) Made some diy brake switches for hydraulic disc brakes too.
I'm going to...
Thanks guys for very helpful replies. At this time I'm planing to go without freewheel, because I want to use mid drive as an assistance only, when climbing. So I will be pedalling at the same time. I have SPD pedals so my feet rather stay there unless I don't want lol. To be honest I want to...
