Hm, so you are still using the mechanical brakes on that thing? Interesting. Seems to me that you could shed a bit of weight by going direct drive and getting rid of all the stuff required to run the brakes and let the motor handle the braking? Seems to me that going through a clutch is just another point where you lose energy transfer, but that's just me...

I'm with ya on the wires tho! If they don't get caught in the gears, it's a perfect installation! :D
