Hi,
I'm going to keep this simple and use pictures, you all read lots of build stories and mine is no different
It started with a Giant Seek 1 with a IGH Alfine 8 with an hub centric bottom bracket. So warning to all hub centric owner and future owners read here: http://electricbike.com/forum/forum/...shd-to-my-bike
So now you know I bought a Commencal Meta for comfort and mountain climbing/descending.

This is the kit and spare part (nylon gear, thrust bearing and clutch) just in case





This is the testing rig, just got the wires all messed up but it's working.

This is 2 mins later, chain jumped and hanger bent and voila!

So this is the final bike, I won't make it any better right now... I will powder coat the frame satin black in a few week!


That was a close fit:

UPDATE:
Tore the bike appart to replace the pivot bearing.
Sent the frame to the powder coater:

Go this today:

And the all black Eclipse

Also got this...Small upgrade, SLX ice tech brakes and goodies

SECOND UPDATE:
I installed the SLX brakes and ice tech front rotor and now it's braking like I ever hopped for, the SLX are the best I ever ridden so far! 203mm front and back!
Yeah and that seat is a great buy too! cheap, solid for hard trails and very comfortable.
Got rid of the big 20ah batt pack and bought 2 mini 30Q that I run in parallel : I LOVED THEM, so much better than having a 10lbs backpack! Heck even one of these batt stay relatively cool during long an steep full throttle climbs, imagine 2 in parallel!!!

And because I could not find a bike bag that would fit the cube under the seat and a small and nice little triangle bag, I got impatient and padded the batt with foam mats and wrapped it in a tire tube, it does not move at all! Rock solid!
