Mount Bafang BBS01 on Fuji Absolute 2.0?

[Kevindale]

I've been bitten by the bug to go electric, and I want to convert my 2008 Fuji Absolute 2.0 Hybrid. I'd been thinking that a rear hub kit would be my best bet, but having read the reviews of the Bafang BBS01, I think this might be the best solution for maintaining all the things I like about riding the bike.

The Motobecane Elite conversion by flymeaway looks a lot like what I want to do. The one thing I'm not sure about is the Fuji's bottom bracket size. I see that the BBS01 fits a range from 68-73 mm. The Fuji has a Truvativ ISOFlow C 3.0 crank, which is listed as 64/104 mm, so as best I can tell I'm out of luck. Am I looking at this correctly?

You are correct. The conversion will not fit you BB.

Hey flymeaway, thanks for the response. I posted a similar question at the endless sphere forum, and was instructed on how to measure my BB. Turns out it is 68 mm. My mistake was assuming the crank and BB were the same size. So I probably will proceed with getting the Bafang, though I still need to convince the wife that it's a good idea.

Good.....the conversion is worth the cost.
