    100% agree and understand the issue is with the chain / chainrings / angle of chain ect. I've ordered a chain catcher gizmo for just under $20 aud and will give that a go.

    Hi folks, Been a while since I've posted... Cause I've had no problems with my early generation Lightning Rods Small Block Mid Drive Kit. To my surprise it's bike parts that wear out, but the LR small block has been a reliable machine. In case you don't know about the kit learn more here ...

    I've just had the chainwheel freewheel in my LR 1500w kit replaced by a LBS. I recall seeing a post about the longevity of a chainwheel freewheel being greatly affected by ramp up of power as opposed to slamming power suddenly through the parts. I have a grintech cycle analyst 3 controlling...

    Thats a great price by the way Mike. To get two of these from http://lightning-rods10.mybigcommerce.com/acs-freewheel/ would have cost a lot more.
