I'm unsure about the Vendetta but recently I did a CARRERA Kracken And had a couple of issues with its install.. had to get a machine shop to make up a spacer for the chainwheel as it was too neat to the flared out chainstays, and that was after a couple of hours smoothing a path through the...

While I totally understand your respect for the frame RIV nuts are the way forward for any heavy centrally mounted battery, I have now modded several with 2 extra bolts on each lower base with a strap over the whole affair and its held very tightly , my reasons are safety and our extremely poor...

I had a home brew version of this on my 3 rd build, but since then i have been relying of strapping the battery obviously locked on the slide with 3 straps, i bought some on Amazon for suitcase closure.. short one which are adjustable and have click fit buckles.. and since then have acquired a...

well getting on with the build , just waiting for the hollowtech dedicated PAS kit so we can see what it gives at the pedals but running on a thumb throttle yesterday a Gain owner my chum had it at 22.5 on level 3 max [not in his Gain experience of perhaps 2.5 k miles cutting out]on the Bafang...

thanks for your reply, as a novice to wheel hub motors and the focused tweaking required with this particular instance the 250w Orbea Gain motor would you given your experience, [and if others have different views] actually recommend a particular KT model which again given my understanding...

if the issue is the motor is rotating, just fit a torque rod, i run a 750 and a 500w and torque rods on both, theyre copies of the luna cycle one. it covers over the original bracket that locates the motor,use slightly longer allen bolts and then folds under the down tube and can either be...

I would watch doing any Cannondale as their bottom bracket shell isn't BSC THREADED its a totally different bearing system so while i expect a skilled bike engineer could work his way around it it wouldn't be a job for a pilgrim.. and if you are looking a fitting a mid motor be aware that in...

need skilled assistance please..... I bought 3 years since a new pair of Orbea GAIN 250w rear hubmotored wheel and as a mate was running a gain we fitted and found it was working as per usual. so long story short bought a Whyte frameset RN7 and a TdZ motor and custom built battery found that...

Billy, why aye man, you'll get it sorted, if not... is there anyone out there with a damaged display that has an intact 5 button switch..???

Fancy word for dampish atmospherics . well all i can say is that cardboard doesn't go damp neither does paper. I was able to get the switch deconstructed, and its a series of 5 micro switches, like those in a car ignition key, thing is the item that is the problem is the one you hold down to...

Back in summer i bought one of these, mainly to have a V display of the Volts in my battery.. been off the bike for a few weeks after a total hip replacement and earlier this week i ventured out to my workshop to charge and refit my battery, switch on and check everything was kosher.. no...

Thanks Guys,i suppose my extended experience in race cars rallye cars and race bikes doesn't count here in your opinion.. all i can say is to me its a bit like fitting any engine with just one engine mount and expecting it to handle all the associated torque actions and reversals.. my experience...

Luna cycles spanner and torque arm here and fitted, but Realistically how do Bafang think that 2 nuts done up as tight as some have suggested will suffice to stop 160n/m or in old school 116lb/ft of torque from getting loose,, that torque which can haul a ton vehicle to over 100mph.. mines on...

hopefully YES. I started this thread.. my chum has one, now we've covered about 300 miles.. rides vary 30ish /40 and the longest was 43 miles in windy conditions, he varied his power from level one to the red on occasions on hills..ave speed was 14ish, so dependant on the weather, hill etcs...

thanks,i've likely built more bikes than most of the people who contribute here so when i say its tightened and with the plate correctly orientated rest assured its so.. The pic which peter c above sent looks proper and it would certainly contain any inappropriate movement....i have one on...
