I have not been riding my e bike lately as I have no rear brake as I removed the rotar as it was too large in diameter for the axle to fit all the way in to the drop outs. When I changed the rear tire and tube a month ago the wheel fell off upon take off but not all the way off as I had the torque arm on.
I got help putting it back on by a nice lady security guard there and made it home. A few days after I removed the rotar so that the axle would fit all the way in the drop out.
Today I walked to Wall=Mart a few hours ago and got a small tape measure that has a key chain attached. I refused to buy a standard 25 foot tape measure as I have about three in storage with my tools so spent less than 2 bucks for a small 10 foot tape measure,
The rotar is 6 - 5/8 inches which converts to 68.275 mm. I looked up the different sizes and see
Answer: Mountain bikers have a dizzying array of options to choose from, including three wheel sizes and up to five diameters of disc brake rotors. SRAM's HS1 disc brake rotors are available in five diameters: 140,160,170,180, and 200mm.Apr 16, 2013.
Basically 8.25 millimeters is slightly more than 3/8 of an inch or 0.3257874.
That is not a lot of difference but am thinking maybe enough to work as long as the 160 mm rotar is exactly 160 mm or slightly less. They do not make a 150 mm and a 140 mm would most likely be too small. I think that 1/3 of an inch will be enough from what I saw when I looked at the drop outs.
I will be calling around the local bike shops and am hoping I can find one in stock. The rear wheel is 26" and the bike came with 27.5" wheels but e bikeling don't make a hub motor that size. I got lucky and rode the bike about 1,000 miles the way it was but I had my friend Doug build the bike in NY and he is a bike expert.
Either way with a hub motor the axle needs to be all the way in the drop outs. I will need a new muffler clamp I can get at Auto Zone for the torque arm. Thanks.
