I bought one of those chain rings from ebikestuff.eu because I don’t like buying from AE either . Yep , I hear you . Taking a hammer to a bike frame isn’t for everyone . A chain stay dimple tool is probably a better option .

10mm offset chainring for TSDZ2B - 5mm more than standard

It sounds like you’ve installed the motor without the non-drive side mounting bracket. I would have thought that the bracket was an essential part . If I was you I’d be considering ‘adjusting’ the drive side chain stay with a hammer and drift . I know it sounds brutal , but it works . You can...

I’ve been riding the Audi for about 5 months without any big problems . I’ve made quite a few changes along the way and it’s now in what I’d like to think is it’s finished state , what was the Audi Cross Pro is now the Audi Cross Pro E-Tron GT . The biggest , and most relevant , change is going...

I’ve been using a Shimano Linkglide 11-43 10 speed cassette with a CYC X1 stealth for over a year now , shifting under power is good enough that I’ve removed the shift sensor that I was using . I’m using a Linkglide cassette and chain with a Shimano Deore XT 10 speed shifter and a Shimano Deore...

Thanks 99t4 , the rear rack / basket is based on an Aeroe pannier rack . They’re made to fit a wide variety of bikes including dual suspension . They’re really solid , there’s hardly any movement

Trek to Audi

Everything is now complete and I’ve got a fully functioning store runner / buddy bike . It’s a really nice bike to ride and I’ve had it up over 30MPH using PAS (no throttle for me) . There’s nothing like passing other cyclists on a bike with a basket on the back . The whole basket / rack...

Juin Tech hydraulic-mechanical disc brakes

The Audi is now rideable after fitting the shock , dropper post and seat . The post and seat were straight forward but the shock was a different story . The frame has 10mm mounting holes and the gap is 29mm at the front and 22mm at the rear , the mounting kit I had was 8mm holes and 24mm wide ...

Thanks , I think it’s going to look good once it’s complete . The battery would be really close to the front wheel at full compression , but the chances of this bike seeing full compression are pretty slim with the extra firm spring that’s in the forks . This bike is a store runner , the...

The tight and busy bit .

All of the wiring on the Audi is now complete and the only cable left to finish is for the dropper post . I re-shaped the swing arm with a piece of 20mm solid round bar and a hammer so that the Tongsheng sits in flush to the bottom bracket . I tried a 5mm spacer but the cranks ended up 14mm...

I've got the front end , motor and battery mounted . Next is the brakes and drive train . Obviously the timber shock is temporary .

You're correct , the strongest point is the noble name and brand . As far as I understand Audi only have 500 of these made a year so converting one makes it a very unique bike . Other than that , it's a good light weight frame with a low stand over height that lends itself to routing nearly...
