    Toughest Mid Drive Chain for 12spd Mountain bike

    Is the KMC model e12 the strongest chain available for mid drive conversions on 12 speeds? I have been reading in the forum archives of multiple chain, cluster, pawl and derailer failures on stronger mid drives. I plan on putting the ToSeven 1000w / 160nm mid drive in my current fat tire...

    I know that there are newer Bafang systems that now use both sensors, but has anyone modified an existing cadence sensor system to include a torque sensor? I have read here and there about dropout mounted torque sensors. It would be great to modify my existing Rad bike or any other new hub...
