Just finished converting my Dad’s Marin (with the swytch kit). Relatively painless- I’d say the most annoying bits where the axle not quite fitting and the handlebar battery mount. It’s width sat it partially over the clamp area (25.4) and a little over the narrower 22.2 section either side of the clamp. Also it was a little awkward routing the gear and hydro cables. So many potential variables though I guess they did alright.
Impressed with how natural it feels- was worried it would be lurchy and awkward. Quite fast and feels pretty powerful on the flat. Haven’t tested up any hills. Overall, positive review so far.. will update when he’s done a few miles on it
