Cheers both!

Yep, four piston but I think one is sticking as I've had some uneven pad wear. Will upgrade rotor size when these wear, can't say I've had any heat issues yet.

What's the chain line for a Bosch motor?

Drivetrain with a rohloff hub is very noisy. Seem to get away with using an 8 speed chain but anything single speed is horrible. I'm awful at eye balling these things.

47.5mm

Aye, seems like the chainline for a rohloff is 54mm, so maybe the chainring needs some spacers.

You can get different sprocket body type things for the Rohloff hub to adjust chainline

Edit don’t think it’ll help actually

Or get a Boost chainring / spider for the Bosch motor like this one.

Any interest here in a Red Gen 1 Bullitt that I am about to get ready to sell.
Used by me for mostly school runs back in the day. Its been in storage for 2 yrs as the kids got too big. Sadly time to sell. Some Hope & XT parts. Has a neat custom ply box & kids seat all fitted.
Drop me a DM and I can send some pics & details. Also some pics on this thread from about 2 yrs ago ... will try and figure out how to link back in the same thread?

I am based on London SE19. I need to go have a look at what ££ these are going for.

New whip! A Veloe Multi with Shimano EP8, Enviolo HD and carbon drive. Room for two on the back. The ‘load space’ accessory converts between seating area and cargo space with a foldable velcro cover. I wanted a long tail that was suitable for sharing between two 6ft riders and this does the trick and rides like a normal bike.

I would be interested but if it's a first generation Bullitt, am I right in thinking that it's not possible to install a Bafang without grinding the frame? Asking here to get an answer from the hive mind, hope that's ok. Thanks.

Definitely a V1 :) she's lush! I'd be keen to see it (I'm just down the road) if Kev didn't go for it.
I don't have kids to carry so it seems a bit of a waste as it stands. glws!

Bike is rad, might be a problem with a Bafang but could do a tongsheng?
That box is exactly what I need now.

Wow I was just about to post on here asking if anyone was thinking of selling their bullit! True story. Definite interest here :)

Yep unfortunately because of the G1 style downtube it won't take a BB based motor.

That's the one! Just heading up to collect it from my brothers place so it will be in SE London for next week for viewing.

I'm loving the front wheel motor on my pink bullit fyi. Means you could use your alfine 11 without chewing it up!

@szeliaxe - do it.
@etcdaman - 2 bullits on my road plus a dog cafe?
GENTRIFICATION IS 75%

You've seen mine, I didn't have issues with fitting the middrive and no grinding the frame. I've added eyelets on the seat stays to fit a rack.

Hi all!
I am still alive and now living down in sunny Folkestone.
Not many bikes here in general and even less cargo bikes.

As @Chalfie says, it certainly feels like I am leading the DFL gentrification (Down From London is what we're being called).

Oh, your road, is it! The cheek.
Yeah, fair enough you were there first and I should've kept my old Bullitt as it is. Sigh.

Matchy matchy! (Yes I know they could just cut the rack...)

Are you getting this to replace it?

Lucky perfect fit!

Just built this 36V 20aH battery from Eig c020b cells for a pal. Built into a box under the kiddo seat of their bakfiets.

Bought the cells from a chap on endless sphere forum, who also sells the busbars that connect the sells. Pretty cool solution without having to buy a spot welder.
