Hi All !
Does anyone have experience with fitting an 8 speed cassette to a Bafang G06 hub motor ? On the Voltbike Yukon the 7 speed freewheel cassette has a big jump in teeth count between 1st and 2 nd gears ( easiest gears ). In the past I have done this 7 to 8 speed switch with a mid drive bike, ( new derailleur and 8 speed switcher as well, small extra spacer on the axle and re-dish the wheel ) with great success. My question is can one do this on the G 06 Bafang Yukon motor ? Is there enough room to fit the slightly wider cassette without the axle getting too short, and can one add a small spacer on the axle to create the required room ?
Your expert opinion much appreciated !
