Hello all, an older gent here from SC.I am attempting to install a bafang mid drive on my sunseeker delta AX X3. There is no clearance for my brake and shift cables. They need a thinner sheath. What is the simplest method to change to a thinner sheath?
I had to take the motor out and I didn’t take any pics. The motor was pinching both brakes and gear cables. So much that the motor wasn’t hanging but ham had a slight tilt from the force of the pinch. The mounting screws were almost cross threading when I tried to put the motor bracket on, so I stopped and took the motor off. I have to come up w a solution. I’m not a bike mechanic but I have been a machine tech most of my life..just not familiar w bikes. For me it’s hopeful to get to use this bike for some much needed cardio and be able to get to some more exciting trails w use of electric.
The dual disc brake cables measure 14cm and derailer cable is 11cm, so my clearance is probably less than 10cm.
I don't believe there is a "thinner sheath" available. If you can post a picture it would make things clearer perhaps as to what the problem is.
