    LightningRods mid drive kit

    Is 113mm the nominal distance? Basically what I am asking is between what distances should I make the sheets adjustable? Do you think 110-120mm is enough? After reading the complete original GNG thread + most of this thread (30 pages left) I am very aware of the bad design. You have done an...

    LightningRods mid drive kit

    Hi all, I recently bought a Giant Team DH for my small block GNG. Because of the belt skipping problem with my last bike, Im planning to use the LightningRods pulleys on this build. I will make the upper and lower sheets on my own. Im also trying to source as many of the components as possible...

    From the COG point of view it would be a good to have the batterys underneath the frame. They would have to be very well protected though. At the moment I have 4*5000mAh 6S longpacks in a backpack.

    Actually the dampening adjuster isn't the first thing to hit the motor assembly. At first I thought that it would be too. That is why I removed the cooling fins on one side of the motor. Turns out that it is the rocker arm hitting one of the flanges on the motor end plate.

    I guess that is one of the reasons why they have the tensioner on the stock kit. It looks like with the tensioner you will have about 50% of the teeth engaged, which is more than you can get by increasing the distance. Too bad it takes alot of energy...

    I actually was able to do a short test run yesterday. The weather wasn't the best (-23°C/-9°F) so I only tested it for about 100m. Everything worked good but the motor felt quite weak. I hope it was because of the snow and low tire pressure. I noticed after the test that both the belt and the...

    Exactly. I wonder though how much influence it actually has on the teeth engagement if you increase the center to center with, lets say 20-30mm. I have a feeling you have to increase it quite much to get a noticeable benefit, but I could be wrong. I still agree with LightningRods that you...

    This is absolutely possible. In my opinion the biggest problem is the rear shock which takes up quite much of the space inside the frame triangle. Would be much easier to install this way on a hard tail bike. It is hard to get at stealthy look with this kit wherever you put it. If you want a...

    No problem. The parts are made in NX 8, but I uploaded them as a step-file. I am no NX expert as we still use Ideas at work. I hope I exported them correctly. I noticed when I made the plates, that the models are not 100% correct though. I think it's the angle between the M8 holes and the rest...

    Hi Chucho (and all ES members as this is my first post :) ) Im currently putting a GNG kit, bought from conhismotor, on a Trek Remedy 7. I had the same problem as Chucho so I decided to put the motor and the jackshaft inside the triangle. I had to put the motor higher than planned which means...
