    BBSxx throttle useful information

    Just been out and tested in level 1 and 2 and absolutely no difference in the whole throttle range, stayed the same speed throughout on a nice flat road.

    BBSxx throttle useful information

    True, but the rohloff isn't fond of changing under load, so the foot comes off anyway and I'm still not convinced by people saying the 'current' setting is more than a switch, if it is, it's very slow, rpm (speed) should be much quicker to change, don't get me wrong I don't really want to use...

    KTM Terramo Rohloff Bafang 36v500w BBS02 Complete

    I think they may both go a little quicker, work out your top gear ratio and wheel circumference and the max rpm which I counted at about 130rpm, this should give your theoretical no load speed, you may find your gearing to be the limiting factor, the rohloff range is 526% 1-14 and I have a 52t...

    BBSxx throttle useful information

    Just finished my KTM Rohloff with a 36v500w BBS02 and my throttle appears to be a switch, but I will test fully on the road if I can find a nice flat 2 mile stretch, I have the USB cable and it appears the 'speed' setting is the way to go, fairly sure mine is 'current' (Woosh bikes) Also my 9...

    Bosch Dongle Options

    Thanks Martin, moving the magnet towards the front of the sensor solves the intermittent issue, considering the sensor is a reed switch (I thought) it appears that while the speed sensor requires a very small latching time the dongle requires a little longer and the magnetic field is better...

    KTM Terramo Rohloff Bafang 36v500w BBS02 Complete

    The beast is done bar the magnetic brake cutoffs for hydraulics, stripped to the frame, powder coated and rebuilt including rear wheel. 14.5 amp battery and 14 speed rohloff. I've set to 9 assists with a 17 inch wheel in kph which gives mph on a 700c, the chainwheel is a Bafang 52t which gives...

    Ta for that, misunderstood the change, position and mph is spot on, just the SX2 is intermittent. It will not operate for the first few miles of a run then suddenly start to work, but at the higher speed of around 16mph. Does the dongle work on the stand without torque, it would be much easier...

    Bosch Dongle Options

    Well the original distance between magnet and sensor is around 6-7mm and my cutover was around 16mph. This morning with spacers I dropped the distance to 2mm and I think it's permanently in half speed from the go, this is damn strange and I will up the distance a bit, but also get a mount for my...

    Bosch Dongle Options

    I was aware of this and my later classic has the 1:1 error if you try this or with a dongle have a rear sprocket exactly half the chainwheel. Not an issue with the Alfine as the internal ratios are odd.

    I will try this tomorrow and report back but would also like to know why this should work?

    Bosch Dongle Options

    That's exactly what I think is happening and I can't see that this has anything to do with setup. Surely the clever speed and torque combination sensors will drop the assist as you reach 15.5mph at which point the dongle suddenly tells the controller it's now doing 8mph and off you go again with...

    The The JUM-Ped looks like a hacked programmer which doesn't need access to the motor and if accurate looks great but pricey and limited to my gen1 Bosch.

    Bosch Dongle Options

    I have a Haibike RC29 from 2013 which I assume is a Bosch Gen 1. I have converted to Alfine 11 gears and put a rip off dongle from e-bikeshop. While it's ok, like most I'm not keen on the incorrect reading and the surge effect at 16mph when it kicks in which I assume is down to the assist slowly...

    Bafang Cable Length (BBS02 500w 36V)

    Yep, stuff the outrageous postage, invested in http://www.workshopsupplies.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d1434_Heatshrink_Solder_Butt_Connector.html (white) and a heat gun. Add an extra black heat shrink over the top and as you state it should be smaller than the existing plugs and not be seen running...

    Bafang Cable Length (BBS02 500w 36V)

    Cheers for the info, same company that do the dished chainwheel. Even 32 euros I don't mind for the 300mm cable, but 25 euros for postage to the UK is taking the p**s.

    Bafang Cable Length (BBS02 500w 36V)

    1. I've had a google at shorter leads, but coming up blank, probably missing the odd keyword, any clues where this shorter lead is available from? 2. Lights lead/plug? Don't have one from the BBS02, I could make one 36v direct from the battery, there is an extra hole but not enough room inside...

    Bafang Cable Length (BBS02 500w 36V)

    Yes, I had considered both these options, but was looking for something less obvious like someone selling a short version of this bafang cable.

    Bafang Cable Length (BBS02 500w 36V)

    Anyone know how to shorten this cable by 18 inches, otherwise my almost completed ebike will be ruined by excessive loops of unnecessary cable (bit OCD perhaps)

    Review of my Bafang BBS02 500W/36V kit

    The Rohloff is definitely 54mm which matches my BBS02 500w 36v with the standard 46t chainring, this is dished already and if the italian 42t chainring matches you nexus at 46mm, then it must come in another 8mm which must be very close to the chainstay. Can't tell from the pics.

    Review of my Bafang BBS02 500W/36V kit

    Currently finishing a KTM Rohloff / BBS02 36v 500w build. More by luck than judgement, this model is bang on 54mm with the standard dished 46t sprocket on a 68mm BB which matches the Rohloff 16t chainline exactly. I have ordered a 52mm sprocket from HK which gives a final ratio of 0.91 to 4.77...
