Shimano E-type front shifter.

As i said before, there  was a problem with the mounting of a normal  front shifter on my bullitt, the saddle tube is 45 mm thick , so no normal shifter can be mounted..

I ordered now a new E-type front shifter with a special brace that fit around the bottom bracket.

The special brace and the bullitt frame  has no cable stop. So i must add one. 

I mounted all the necessary parts, so now the drivetrain is complete.

Battery support

I want to mount the battery under the loadplatform of my bullitt, so i have to make a battery support.
I used a ready-rack profile for that and welded it together.
Paint job is planned for next week.

Framekit arrived and first disappointment

Last Wednesday I drove to Amsterdam to pick up the Bullitt frame.
My first disappointment is a fact.

The frame has no narrowing down the saddle tube to mount the front shifter, while I already have the parts purchased..

The frame came with a speedlifter as well, while I already purchased one, the same for the saddle clamp.

I've returned the front shifter and the 48T crank to bikecomponents.de and exchanged them for a E type front shifter with a bottom bracket support.

In the mean time i mounted alle the bullitt parts and some parts i've already purchased.

Crystalyte HS 2440 on the workbench

I have the hub motor from Crystalyte already connected on my workbench.
The voltage is supplied by a powersupply because i haven't received the  LiFePO4 battery yet..
I can set all parameters in the APM display, but I can not run the motor for the moment.
Why? I don't know.
It is possible that i have also rotate the wheel together with the crank PAS sensor.
