Hello all, I'm on with a second ebike (self build) as a weekend project. This will be a Nuvinci 360 rear hub, TSDZ2 mid drive on my Carrera.

Spent a productive morning off work cleaning the bike and removing the crank, rear wheel, servicing the brakes etc.

The Nuvinci came in a prebuilt 26" wheel (thanks Peter!) and was a straight forward fit, I clocked it so the gear cables went up the seat stay well out of the way of the motor. I had some instructions to set the cables but they were at best nonsense so a bit of common sense later I managed to fit them myself and ensure full range of movement.

Put some 26×175 tures on there (Continental) to keep rolling resistance down, saved the knobblies just in case!.

My new Lidl bike stand worked like a charm, made the job much easier!.

Just waiting on the TSDZ2 to arrive now, should hopefully be a straight forward fit!.

Out with the old...

Yes I have a tensionser due to the vertical dropouts.

I've got a lot on this week but have pencilled in Saturday to fit the kit an get a couple of rides in.

The Nuvinci feels very smooth to operate (on the stand), should be a good combination with the TSDZ2!.

It has an 18t sprocket so may need to drop that down a bit depending on how it feels.

I keep having a look at your build thread, looking good 8) .
 
Been a loooong time but finally finished and rode my project tonight!.

The TSDZ2 is an excellent mid drive motor and the Nuvinci is seamless when changing gear, excellent combination!.

Need to do some shakedown miles now, might ride it to work tomorrow!.

Don't know why my pics have disappeared in 1st post, will have to have a look later..
