Sorry if this is a dumb question. Noob to mid-drives. Are there any hard limitations to how big of a chainring you can get on a mid-drive?
I have two hub-drive e-bikes and I like going fast and i'm curious about mid-drive but i haven't tried it yet. Seems like the BBSHD comes with 40 - 44T chaingrings. There is an adapter kit for any 130mm BCD chainring, looks like, so it seems like i could get a 52T on there. Why don't they come stock with larger rings? I would think you would want at least a 52T ring on there. Maybe bigger? Is there any actual engineering limit to the chainring size?
