Hi Guys,
Could I possibly trouble you with a question regarding stress points on a carbon frame?

I have installed a bafang BBS02 on my Planet X carbon road bike and wonder if I've done something a bit dangerous by increasing the weight of the bike, as well as how the power is distributed throughout the frame.

Just wondering if any of you have ideas on where I should inspect the frame for cracks or stress most often, or if I am worrying about nothing.

Thanks a lot for any input you might have.

There were a few ideas on the pedalelecs forums, though I can't paste a link here. The best advice was that people on this forum would be the most qualified to answer the question.

(Forum in question is endless sphere 'am I asking for trouble BBS02 on carbon frame')

I agree with the person that said to make sure the unit doesn't loosen up. The weight is not a problem. The problem I see from a frame integrity point of view is the battery. Is it only held on by the bottle bosses? Even if there is something else holding it on, you are risking the integrity of that tube. I think i would get a seat post rack and mount the battery there. If it's only held on by the bottle bosses, you are almost guaranteed a failure
