    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. The chainrings are brand new, and 9 speed compatible, however they sure look different from the ones that came with the kit...

    Hi all, Approached a few LBS's asking about 1x9 group sets to be told the average price for all the parts was about $500. So I decided to just replace the 2 original chainrings that came with the Small Block Chainring assembly. I could not locate the original shimano model anywhere so just went...

    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 contacted a few bike shops, hardware shops. Bolt shops. No one has anything M12 1mm thread. Regardless of length or head. There maybe a rare industry somewhere that has something but I haven't found it. One place offered to make one for $80 and 3 weeks to produce it. I've ordered...

    I've contacted LBS, they had never seen this bolt before. I gave them some details to pass onto a supplier and they had never heard of it either. I will try other bike shops tomorrow. Maybe I'll find one online. Truvativ Crank arm bolt m12

    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.

    My local bike shop says they can't get their hands on these freewheels. http://lightning-rods10.mybigcommerce.com/acs-freewheel/ Its going to cost me loads of cash to import these freewheels into Australia. Does anyone know if they are stocked somewhere in Australia ???

    My Chainring freewheel is on its way out after about 250km of riding bush tracks. What kind of life are you guys getting out of yours ? Is there Crossfire branded Chainring freewheel that came with the kit the best one I could get for this purpose ? Cheer's :)

    Thanks for posting the pics of cheakyblokes setup. Looks like he may have the domino throttle. This particular throttle has caugh my eye, as there is one side of it that is almost flush with the rest of the hand grip. And may give me room to get my small stuby fingers reach to trigger...

    I have the Lyen controller Mike sell's with his kit + a full twist throttle that mike also sold me. I found the control to be pretty good. I like your suggestion of left grip shift for rear gear control, in that case I would try a half twist throttle on the right side, as I've heard it offer's...
