evans.....is a weirdo. and not just for the ginger hair. he painted all his cars white due to some obsessive compulsive disorder.he is also a ferrari biased (fanboy) i hate fan boys. i.e. people follow and name rather than a product and is therfore positively biased to any product made by his...

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/4-spoke-alloy-wheels-and-tyres/1125351046 having a hard time shifting these. could do with the space in my garage more than the money. been advertsied for a monthish now and still no interest. thought id see if anyone on here may want them.

they were set up properly, they might of been a terrible quality brand in the first place. i gave them every chance i could in terms of resurfacing and setting them up and......in comparison the disc brakes i got from the chairty shop suck compared to the vbrakes (all be it with new brake shoe...

have you examined where the punctures are occuring? is it from items puncturing the tyre wall and then the inner tube? or is it the rim itself? do you run a rubber band thingy round your rim to protect the inner tube? my rim came with unburred holes and no rubber bang thing. i went through 2...

just bought myself a whole bike from my local charity shop. with front and rear wire operated disc brakes. spent an hourish swapping the fronts over. looked pretty cool however it was literally the worst braking capability ever. tried tightening the hell outa them. no avail. tried roughing up...

the police are fecking useless. your people in vans sound like pikeys, and the **** type. luckily where i live the local council estate have a hankering for making their life difficult. i never thought chavs would have a use, but then they go and terroise any local "travellers" in my area...

i get the whole new lithium tech has more cycle life...but hear me out a balancer wont fix a bad cell, but it will stop a healthy but unbalanced cell from messing up and going bad and putting more stress on other cells lowering their lifespan. seeing as lead acid batteries "never" came or...

i dont go below 3.8v on my lipos. my friend who blows them up does go below closer to the 3vs :S. maybe if i went lower id get more ah....but it seems risky ive have a set of 6 lipos for my tyco rc rebound mod. bought them about 4 years ago. hardly use them (mainly summer time) so i make sure...

thanks for the info, im not after the movie prop. just something that doesnt exsist, but if i did.....it would have a name kind of like a flux/fluctuating capacitor. the lattitude thing does make some sense.....i get the best current if i have my antenna wire coil going east to west or west to...

i have now welded a mount for my boost switch onto my handlebar. heres a pic. all is still good. been for another 2 rides and 4 lipos. no problems. the new placement of the switch really helped me dial down when i use the extra voltage. meaning i still get about 3 minutes of life per lipo...

thanks for the help. ive actually done the flurescent tube thing. perfect for romatic lighting at a picnic. seems like you can only use one capacitance at one time per antenna,ariel and diode/capacitor arrangement. :( meaning a "flux" cap could actually only really exsist as hundreads of...

thought id do a very crude circuit diagram on paint explaining the relay arrangement. sorry had to re-edit this as it wasnt quite correct.

huzzah, 2 rides and 4 lipos discharged. all on my new 48-60v relay switching arrangement. all is great. ill give rundown of my "findings" i get about 3minutes of runtime per lipo at 60v and still can switch back to 48v when i run out of lipo juice. (could do with bigger lipos) it appears...

ive had a play with that calculator....its seems to rather underestimate my top speed compared to my real world figures. whereas, http://www.electricbikesimulator.com/ this one seems to be a lot closer speed/wise to what im getting in the real world. including my recent trip upto 60v (cheack...
