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...

now im completely happy with my setup. i thought about adding more speed :) in the form of another battery. simply adding another 12v battery to my existing 4 to make 60v. with a few controller mods online i found some usefull articles but i thought id make my own to help other out there my...

been looking through my manual for my bike....and ive noticed i have a PAS function with my controller. its a 3 pin plug crank sensor i havnt connected as i dont have pedals. the manual isnt much help as to its functioning as its in chinglish. the bike is working perfectly without it but i...

my electronical knowledge is falling a bit short here...... i know you can get manually adjustable capacitors.......by turning a knob etc. but is there one thats more like a transistor.....as in no moving parts and capacitance if dependant on an incoming votage/signal. ive been experimenting...

sadly i dont have a picture.... the creepy thing dissapeared in the time it took me to go back in the house and get my phone. but its was weird......really weird. i was outside having a fag when i noticed it on the wall next to me and i nearly had shepeards pie in my knickers. it was a...

this is the second adsl router in 3 years talktalk has sent to my father with the notion of it improoving our internet speeds......and it hasnt both has reduced my download speed by 2mbs and my upload by 0.25mbs (old router gets 8mbs DL and 1mbs UL) i therefore am calling this a scam by TALK...

wonderfully strange subject here. as always from me :) ive seen a guy on youtube combining supercapacitors with lipos as a lightweight replacement for a car battery. with some very promising results this gave me an idea on how i could possibly boost my SLAs for around £20. at the moment my...

got myself the above mentioned tyre. heres a vague review of it 14.99 from halfords. suprisignly this was the cheapest i could find one. nice big 2.35" profile. was a right pig to fit, had to use fairy liquid lube and go upto 110 psi with a compressor to get it to pop onto the rim in the end...

ive recently replaced my front forks. this appears to have given me more "rake" i think. as you may of guessed my handling seems a bit foobared hence asking. my symptoms are....it doesnt seem happy going straight. like im riding on the ridge of a roof and it keeps wanting to pull either left...

i initially plan on getting a 48v lipo and running that. i have plan in mind to get another in future and either have double range or double speed at teh flick of a switch. so far ive got a diagram with 2x 5 pole relays and a switch. automotive relays are to hand and cheap but at 12v and 40A...

ive probably been watching american chopper too much.... but i want an uprated front end.....and i dont know whats it exactly called in bicycle terms and im pretty hard lucked finding one. so im gonna throw up a few pics on here and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. here...

not an a grade engineer here. basically im goign to oil fill my hub. i may need to replace the bearings if they leak through. what, if any are the technical terms for the type of bearings id need to be "oil" proof? i.e. doe they have a differnt design type name or designation. thanks in...

im not talking about spoke adjustment here persay. unless i am unknowlngly more about offsetting an unbalanced wheel with weights as your would a motorbike or car wheel. i get that at normal pushbike speeds and unbalanced wheel is virtually unoticable. but at 20-30mph+ even a gram out of...

title says it all.....well not all but. this is purely my battery link cables and what power they sap. i have a fair idea of how to calculate this... just wanted to make sure its valid (the internet seems to be overcomplicating the matter) each length of wire between the batteries are around...

few things i need to run through really. im prefer oil over air cooling as with my pc i went from fans to water cooling and id never go back again. super cool and quiet. i get air cooling is as easy as drilling holes. but as per another thread my hubs limit will be around the 2kw mark with...

ok. here goes..... i have 4x 20ah 12v sla batteries. im currently charging them on a cheap china ebay 48v charger. does the job.....just i fear this is not charging them equally, properly or as well as they could be. max output is 56v making for 13v a cell not 14.7 : s ive also noticed the...

noticed this with my golf trolley bikes and its happening again with my hub motor the main fuse gets really hot and melt/warps its casing but doesnt blow. google says its cheap fuses. i concur with this few questions. 1. is this heat loss going to be a noticeble drain on efficiency/power...

mad question here again. bought an ebay 48v brushless gearless 1000w motor kit. there doesnt appear to be a regen braking facility on the controller. id like some extra stopping power not to botherd about the regen part (as the title suggest) but id like to know how easy it would be to add an...

i wont even get started on sla's and there 20hour rating system i want to ask about lipos and lifepo4 etc for rc car experience my 3300mah lipos last about 20mins then they are low voltage. my imax b6 charger from this state says it only puts in around 1700ma in to get it fully charged again...
