Greetings all,
After reading all the troubles with bike chains not handling the load of a mid drive e-bike ( the one i'm mounting), i was wondering if i should go a 8S cassete for a thicker chain.
I will probably go with a Luna Cycles freewheel crank, XT M8000 SGS derailler and an 8S cassete, and at the end add the strongest chain i can get that work on them all.
Can i get a strong build this way, or is it impossible using bicycle chains to get a reliable machine?
Also, got an almost free offer on an hydraulic Avid Juicy 5 with 203/180mm disk brakes, that the owner used on his DH bike. Should be good for this right?
It will be a 2000w+ middrive road bike, to prioritize high speeds on the 40 MPH to comute between House and Job.
Thank you all for the help!
