Shimano FC E 5000 crank arms

Townie with a BBSHD and dirt tires. What's not to like! A woven basket full of kittens too.

There's a Bafang M600. but IDK anything about it. If you want to go 30mph and not spend time fixing anything except driveline expendables BBSHD is hard...

I just saw a post at Endless sphere that the TSDZ2 can only handle 8-10A. continuos. 18A. is momentary and requires soldering a thermal sensor instead...

I was looking at the drawing for this hub and it looks like the new cogs drive 6 drive ears instead of 3 that the old pedal bike IGH had.

Sheldon Browns gear calculator can let you try out as many gearing setups as you like. Several at once in fact. For gear units select the cadence you...

I have a Nexus 8, and a 50x 11-40 8 speed Rapid Rise derailer.I like them both .But with an 11-34 casette the S-A hybrid has the abilty to almost equal...

There are SA 3 speeds with derailler hubs. The 3 speed IGH replaces the front triple chainring basically.

I came across these Shimano E bike square taper crank arms in 3 lengths for $13.99 set. IDK how they differ from the FC E6000 175mm cranks I lready have...

[Retrorockit]

I've run 48x11t top gear and for me at 65 years old and a BBSHD it wasn't enough top gear.I also run 175mm cranks out of habit. On a 26x 2.16" bike...

OOPs-Missed the hub motor reference.

I'm also runnning a Surly 50T stainless steel front chainring. ( it's that cadence thing).

[Retrorockit]

Surly makes some nice single speed cogs with wide derailer splines on them.

They say you can stack...

I did a final tweak on the 8 speed casette. The $20 Sunrace 11-40 casette has perfect gearing for me but always jumped teeth in the top 2 gears. I finally...

[Retrorockit]

I would ask around the bike shops in your area. There are threaded inserts with a flange that are made for this. They need a special tool to crimp them...

[Retrorockit]

Could you just change the gearing to match the tire diameter better?...

[Retrorockit]

Sheldon Browns gear calculator does IGH hubs. Pick speed @ 90rpm for gear units unless you have another preference. Then tire size, and chain ring. You...

[Retrorockit]

You might look at the new Shimano 5 speed E bike hub.

I'm not the OP But I did convert a different Gary Fisher.
I find multigears useful for 2 reasons. Sometimes you need to ride slow around pedestians...

I didn't expand the avatar. Wasn't sure what Xer means. Pretty vague post really.

[Retrorockit]

I converted a couple old bikes.
