Overall
I like it. The power delivery is smooth. Put it another way: I often don’t realize that it’s working. I think that is the ultimate compliment. Then I look down and see that I’m pedalling two gears higher and travelling faster than without motor assistance. It more than offsets the...
Chainline
The TSDZ2’s chainline is 50.2 mm. I figured that, with a motor, I can get by with 5 gears. I installed an 8-speed Sunrace CM66 11-32 gear cluster, but moved the two smallest gears over towards the bike’s centreline. I then adjusted the derailleur stops to only use 5 gears...

I just checked and yes, the TSDZ2 front 42T is definitely for 3/32”. I tried it with a short length of 3/32” first:
Given that the TSDZ2 has a 50.2mm chainline, and my rear sprocket on my Sturmey Archer X-RF8(W) hub is about 43mm, I’m wondering if a 6-7-8 speed 3/32” chain is actually more...
