You are a superb human being and I love the fact that you own a caliper, you have no idea how much I greatly appreciate it.


BD just got back to me saying they wouldn't give me the size of the bottom bracket for electrifying a bike as it will void the warranty.


I am a larger fellow who wants to get back on my bike and kick the trails again with friends, and I think this will help me. Hopefully to a point where I wont need the "assistance" in the future.
I was about 70 lbs heavier than I am now when I started into cycling.
Good luck on your journey.
My suggestion would be go ahead and try without the e-adapter for a while. In my experience, generating power was not the only limiter on my tolerance for cycling - I'd be sore/tired/worn out in multiple ways, such that I'd probably have had to get off the bike at about the same time even if I did have a power assist. Everything grows together ;-)
BTW, I'm doing TrainerRoad's half ironman plan aiming for a 70.3 this coming July. If I can do it, you certainly can.
