Those are the stock spokes that came with the motor when I purchased it from zombies.

Yea I put back the moto seat when I let my friends ride it. Lower center of gravity is a noobies best friend with the Emonster under full power.
So I went back to the 203mm rotors. I'll be changing the front caliper to Marta FR one of these days, which is slightly bigger and uses the same brake pads. I used my poor man machining skills and trimmed up the rear brake caliper by a few millimeters. It fits nicely after some filing and sanding. Now I can clear the rotor with the 5 speed freewheel installed.

Let the determined not be deterred! Your machining is a lot better than I would do by scratching at it with my fingernails! Good work!
Good work!

Well done Snell, nice little mod to get something working!
Coming out nice! I wanted to ask you why did you choose to go with a battery pack for the lights vs using the bikes battery with a step down transformer. They are super small cheap on eBay and eliminates the light battery pack. Have you considered that?
Thanks Ecruz.
I've thought about the dc-dc converters and have burned up some already. I like to change my lights around my other bikes, so nothing is permanent. Some of my LED's are direct drive and the little DC-DC converters can't deal with the higher current. I drive a pair of xml's straight from 2s 18650's. My brightest flood light is a dual MT-G2 setup and that will require a bigger converter just to run it. I could probably make it work within the space right about the 18s3p 5ah pack, if I went to a permanent light setup.

Snellemin, what type of light is that?
BTW, my frames should be shipping soon!!! I'll bring one down to Houston to show you when I get it built!
Would be cool to see your new bike and be a nice comparison between the old and new.
Those lights are the magicshine clones. Same light output for a lot less. MJ-872 is the magicshine model name. They are getting hard to find now. Ebay has the clones for 21 dollars now, just for the head. Uses the XP-G led's and works well on black top.
Old vid of the light. Start watching from 25 seconds on, where I go to the higher settings.

I rearrange the battery setup and cleaned up the wiring. I'm happy with the headlight, so I'll make that to a permanent setup and soon wire it up the main battery pack.
I did get to fit a 42T chain ring with space to spare. I had to add a spacer to the chain guide and remove the chain ring guard.

Hey Snell,
You know of anyone in Texas that might make use of a spot welder? I am thinking about buying one but it might not be worth the hassle for just my batteries alone. If I could help others with theirs, it might be worth the hassle though.
