Hello all, I'm new to the motorized bike scene and looking forward to getting my bike running. I had borrowed a bike from a friend for a few weeks and had a blast and loved every minute of it. I bought a kit of my own a few weeks ago and we installed the engine onto my friends bike for the break-in period, and purchased a bike of my own earlier in the week. This is where I ran into a problem.
I'm currently trying to mount the sprocket to the rear wheel and while it is mounted, when attached to the bike, the coaster brake arm seems to be locking the wheel from turning. I did get a different rim as my friend suggested I get one with a Shimano CB-E110 brake instead of the stock one that came with the bike (he said it was a much more reliable brake). All 9 bolts are locked down and the sprocket seems secure, but no matter what I can't get it to turn and so I know if I try and hook up the engine to it, its going to damage something. I'm hoping its just a case of me over-tightening a part or something simple like that.
Any suggestions as to what I can look for or try in order to get the wheel turning freely? I can take pictures and give you the model of the rim tomorrow as the bike is at my office.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
