![]() The hard part for you may be getting it to go slow enough to ride in the woods. But it will probably be easier if you can run a 42t ring. How wide is the rear hub on that? I've personally only built a couple of older 26" TrekGF 26" bikes so others may know more than I do. ![]() Treks traditionally used a 73mm bottom bracket width. Can a 42t ring clear the chainstay in all gears? I would try that first. Quality parts and regular maintainence and repalcement will be required. Chainrings smaller than 42T need to go outside the motor and may not be able to use the lower cogs. You need to investigate the chainline issue. Thanks in advance for any help you share!

I am very good at bike mechanics and have plenty of tools and power equipment, so the technical side doesn't scare me. What chainring size would be best for a BBSHD? Is the Trek unique raised chainstay an issue, or is it a benefit? Specifically, is the 11-speed chain too weak and narrow to handle the BBSHD power? It seems the narrow 11/12 speed chains are often mentioned as not as strong as 10sp or 9sp chains. Looking at the specs and pic attached, is there anything you see that would make this bike NOT a good candidate for a Bafang BBSHD kit, like the kit Luna sells? So I have some questions I am hoping I could have answered or given advice on. I really like the upgrades I have done on this bike, but I am also smitten with eBike technology and capability, especially in my very hilly and mountainous Virginia location. Also dual-piston Shimano XT brakes and other mods. BOOST 36H hubs, Sapim spokes, and Easton rims. I have a 2017 Trek Stache 7 29+ (3" tires) that have a custom wheelset of White Bros.
