Hi. I have a giant fastroad e+ ex pro. Is it possible to add an additional front light that is powered from the bike battery?

I think that might work!

Hi, Had my bike stole - it was a Whyte Dorset with a TSDZ2 motor (80 Nm torque) and a 17ah 48v battery (816 Wh). The bike was mainly used for errands and commuting, but occasionally for the longer ride (up to 35 miles, but would like capacity for a 50). My employer has a cycle to work scheme...

Hi, it seemed that the crank arm was of a softer metal than the shaft. When it loosened the damage was done to the inside of the crank arm meaning that after re-tightening it constantly became loose again. I have found these are good hex keys for tightening:-...

From reading up on greases, the silverhook moly cv lithium grease seems like what I need. Please let me know if I am being an idiot!

Thanks dwvl. One more question - what grease should I use? Would lithium grease like this be OK? https://www.toolstation.com/lithium-grease/p89691 Or would moly grease be better? https://www.toolstation.com/silverhook-moly-grease-tube/p27520 Looking for something I hopefully can get in...

I need to fit a metal gear to replace the blue one. First step is removing the crank from the non-drive side, the central bolt is easily removed, but the crank remains attached. What is the correct method for removing the crank? Also while one got the bike on the stand im looking to tidy up...

Ps, here's a short video of the noise the TSDZ2 makes when i put some pressure on the pedals. Any idea what this fault is?

What are they like to ride? when I was looking at kits last year mid drive motors seemed to be more recommended as they were more ‘natural’ to ride. But... your statement that they are more reliable does get me interested... I am about 100kg and would like to ride as quick as possible. I am...

Hi vfr. issues were around reliability. A crank failed, the charger failed and now the motor has stopped working and is making a noise when I pedal and not producing any power. Riding is all on road and general commuting / leisure riding. Bike is a Whyte Dorset, with a rear pannier rack. I’ll...

Hello, I bought a TSDZ2 kit last year and while the performance has been great, there have been number of issues. What alternatives to the TSDZ2 are there that I can re-use the same battery (a 48v 17.5 ah Samsung downtube battery)? I am particularly keen to get a kit with a small / discreet...

Unfortunately there isn't that wide a choice on Amazon given the dimensions... E.g. the on linked by Altea4 has a max size of 6.3 x 3.74 inches. In imperial the phone in the case is approx 6.5 x 3.6 x 0.6 The main issue being the the extra thickness. When i tried a couple of top tube bags in the...

Hi, I am looking for a Handlebar or top tube bag that has a clear phone holder large enough for a large phone (iPhone Xr in an Otterbox defender case). Dimensions of phone in case is approx 165 x 90 x 15 mm. Has anybody see one suitable?

EDIT But no suitable attachments... What attachment would be best to file back the face of the crank - something like these?

Ahhh! Ive got an unused Dremel tucked away in a corner of the garage! Bought about five years ago and forgotten about. Thanks for the suggestion
