This is true.It will fit most bottom brackets.
What point are you trying to make?

The point that some people reading it will think they can safely mount it to just any old thing they have laying around, which is certainly not true.

You shouldn't have to ask that.

As the videos point out, the CYC motors can be set up to be street legal in Europe and the United States. The Tong Shen TSDZ2 is a less powerful and less expensive torque sensing mid drive kit. The TSDZ2 also has a version available for coaster brake bicycles. Also, the new CYC Photon mid drive is a great way to go.

People exercise restraint and responsibility while using cars that can cruise over 100 mph and stay mostly within the speed limit. I trust the people to do their research and evaluate the suitability of their bicycle for the mid-drive kits they are considering. Once completed, I expect that they will ride safely to preserve their own life and limb.

Wow, to liken being moved to ebike forum to Jim Crow? That's self-righteousness so intense you have no idea you're being completely offensive by trivializing real social injustice.

Here is a great video of an English gentleman installing a Tong Shen TSDZ2 and how he dealt with some installation issues pertaining to his particular bike. I recommend that every bicyclist invest in some basic Park tools which will last a long time.

Thanks for your opinion.

I felt like I was discriminated against by having my message moved to a much less watched sub forum when it had General relevance to the modern cycling scene. Certainly as much relevance as other topics in General Cycling. I feel like my message was shadow banned.

My message was separated from a larger bike forums audience and relegated to a what the moderator called a “Happy Place” for the E Cyclists.How condescending. I believe my analogy was appropriate and certainly does not trivialize real social injustice.

Im the one person who gave your initial post a positive response. That was in response to learning that a mid drive conversion is fairly simple.

You are being a complete jackass. I feel like the other posters have pretty well highlighted everything wrong with your ideas, your posting style, and really your own sense of self worth.

Stop it. Nobody is going to get anything else from this post. Let it die.

Completely lame. You're equating an editorial decision to basic denial of civil rights. I have absolutely no respect for your playing the victim here. This is a privately run forum that is entitled to make these sorts of decisions, and I really don't have any sympathy for your claims of "discrimination" and "shadow banning". They will be totally within their rights when they actually ban you. You don't have a "right" to post on these forms, only permission, and you sure as hell don't have a say in how they choose to classify your thread.

Now if you want to equate that to "you have to go to the awful public school because you're Black", expect to get nothing but contempt handed back to you.

Don't mistake responding to you when I get a notification you quoted me to following the thread. I bailed on that a while ago.

TBH, I stumbled across the "separate but equal" comment while looking at someone else's quote of me and was just appalled at your tone-deafness and egotism.

I think we're done here.
