I just passed 1,000 miles on the BBSHD... Here is a brief summary
e-biking is awesome... I love the freedom
Stuff that I Changed.
Raised my handle bars a bit on the advice of my chiropractor. I am an old man... but don't say that to my face unless you want to die young.
Tried a Nuvinci hub. Did not like it for the hilly terrain that I ride. Went back to derailleur
Upgraded derailleur to a Shimano RD M592 Deore unit. ... To be honest, I don't notice any difference from the cheaper OEM unit. Both work fine.
Stuff that wore out
One set of disk brake pads.
Tires are still good
Chain.. Measured a bit of stretch in my OEM chain. My Luna Eclipse chain ring is too expensive and too good to risk trashing it with a stretched chain. Replaced the chain with a tougher chain... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Stuff that broke
One clutch... Eric says that it's because I'm athletic.. He's a smart guy... Why would I deny this?
Other
Not much to say here. No real surprises.. Everything just works... I love it.
I will say that as with any other contraption, patience and attention to detail in the build process usually correlates with operational reliability.
Ride on friends !!!!
