If using a torque arm, mount it on this side between the outside of the dropout and the large washer. The tabbed washer can be omitted if using a torque arm.

Important
In high power or regen capable controllers, the torque arm should be installed on the non-cable side of the axle.
Otherwise all torsion will being transferred via the weaker  side of the axle with the cable channel, resulting inpossible axle breakage.
Ensure the tabbed washers and motor are oriented such that the cable exits downwards. Upwards orientation of the cable can cause water ingress.
Once the motor is installed in the dropouts and the hardware is in place, tighten the axle nuts firmly to 60Nm (45 ft-lb).

Cassette Compatibility
7 speed cassettes usually require a freehub body spacer on the cassette freehub body for correct fit (this will be included and preinstalled if you purchase the motor and 7 speed cassette from us at the same time). This spacer is also available on our website.

9-11 speed cassettes often require a spacer on the axle (provided) to prevent the cassette from rubbing against the inside of the dropouts.
If the lockring of the cassette bottoms out before fully tightening, there  is a rubber washer on the inside of the cassette freehub that can beremoved.
