The Nine Continent Hub ?

[Bonvin]

Hello.

For some time I take pleasure to read your statements, but now I have a question for you regarding the Nine Continent hub.

I am interested by the "Fast 26 inch rear NC Kit" (2806) from Ebike.ca, and the spacing between my rear wheel dropouts is 136 mm.

So I have three questions for you !.

According to the mechanical specifications M2800R.pdf I can put this wheel if I have 136 mm between my rear wheel dropouts yes, no ?

The dimensions are presented without the freewheel ! Does the addition of the 5 speeds freewheel increases the space required between the rear wheel dropouts to over 136mm ?

And for the last ! The 40 amp controller from Ebike.ca is a "first pedal controller" or "instant start controller"?

I hope I succeeded in making me understand

Thanks in advance and excuse my English.

1. the overall width is 135mm. so it will fit your dropout spacing. tightening the axle nuts will take up the 1 mm gap.

2. there is approximatetly 33mm space for the freewheel. most 5 and 6 speed freewheels are approximatetly 31mm wide. so you could fit a 5 or 6 speed freewheel into your 136mm dropout without any modification or spreading the chainstays/dropouts.

3. i think it is an "Instant Start" but email them to make sure.

Hi Rick

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me.

Tomorrow morning I have to decide on purchasing a recumbent bike, hence the importance for me to know quickly these dimensions

I contacted Ebikes.ca this morning but I have not yet received a reply ! They are probably very busy.

Again, thank you and good night to you if you are not yet set

Instant Start. No more pedal first controllers left on the site.
