  1. Ive been looking for this exact build! My very custom commuter 1000w ebike was taken down by a careless driver and i should be replacing soon. I am going to build on a stealth bomber frame, want to choose wheel set first tho. My drive train is as follows. Bbshd motor with gates belt drive and alfine di2 hub. Looking to ride 3-4" tire. Need advice on chain line issues, drop out fitting and gearing ratios.
