Hi. Has anyone recently converted their Rohloff-equipped Thorn with a Bafang front motor?
There’s a couple of issues Id like to understand.
The online sales stores (Amazon, etc) offer a left side and right side PAS sensor, neither of which seem very compatible with Thorn’s BB. Has someone fitted either of these successfully?
Also the Thorn dropouts are 9mm. I can’t tell but I imagine the Bafang kit requires 10mm. Has anyone successfully installed this and what was the solution?
Thanks!
