Hi all,
I was skeptical about the dropouts on my Trek 900 frame. I wasn't impressed either with the tab washers sent with the kit. (they are usless on the Trek frame) I have a good machine shop and made up a torque bar for the rear hub axle. This thing really eliminates the possibility of the axle twisting the dropouts open and ruining the hub wiring.
The torque bar clamps onto the round part of the axle opposite the sprockets and then clamps onto the bike frame. This thing really works well! It's also very strong and lightweight.
We can make these for you at a very reasonable price! - 30 bucks plus handling and shipping. It is great insurance against damaging your hubmotor or controller!
Anyone interested, please email me at marad73@cox.net. I'll send you more info and pix of the unit.
Regards,
Ron
