I i'll give it a check and make sure both ends are pushed fully home, thanks

Hi Eastman good review, and echos many of the points I made when I did my conversion. I managed to use the non magnetic speed sensor. I also needed a new set of front forks as I spun out the motor and there's no way of using a torque arm with the minimal length flats on the axle. Plus the new...

....and ordered so hopefully I will avoid the dreaded brown stripe of shame from now on!

Thanks, I've been looking at mudguards and at SKS in particular, haven't seen the Beavertails, so I'll look them up

Yeah, see my previous entries a few pages back. You'll see a link to where I bought them from. I found that several worked, as long as they weren't Shimano!

Some pictures of my Oxydrive front wheel conversion. Great first ride today, just 7 miles, but almost 900 ft climbed, and very pleasantly surprised at not being out of breath at all!

Think I'll get some......

My top lessons learnt/ feedback ideas to Oxy having finished my front wheel conversion. 1. Have larger diameter axles with flats, as the rear conversion kit has. 2. Have longer connections at the controller - they don't bend easily inside the battery pack. Alternatively make the container at...

Thanks for this. Think I found out the hard way! I ground out the ends of the forks to take the anti rotation washer - think I had it 180 deg out. Any how today I finished the bike and went out for a short ride - what a laugh! Wires to the controller too short to fit in the end of the battery...

Hi nealh, looks really good. My motor is on the front hub and I suffered a spin out. I've since replaced the forks - wanted to fit a torque arm, but the spindle on my motor only has a very short section with flats nearest the hub, so couldn't fit. Does your motor have flats the whole length of...

ETC Bottom Bracket Cartridge Alloy Cups - Silver, 68 x 122.7 from Amazon in the end.

My local half odds only stocked Shimano bbs unfortunately.

Shimano bb, not shimano bob!

Hi guys Have a look at my posts a few days back. I found the shimano bob doesn't fit the non chain side crank. I found that ones manufactured by ETC work, got a couple off eBay this week for a tenner each. They don't have such a large step at the end of the square taper and also the pattern of...

I was looking at all the conversions that d8veh has made. I notice that you often put the pannier battery in a bag - did you do anything special to fix it to the pannier so it can't get nicked?

Looks only 2-3 mm thin. Now if we could get one this thin.... Have you tried the new speed sensors from Oxy that fit on the non drive crank?

I also could not get the clearance on the chain drive side. I've replaced my bottom bracket and this now allows the alternative speed sensor to work. You could put the magnet ring on the non drive side, but you will have to reverse the magnetic sensor - need to drill a small hole, to fit the...

Brill, I understand now, should have realised as accel is proportional to torque, which is proportional to current.....looking forward to the weekend play with the new toy, just hoping its not too snowy....

Hi Andrew. Many thanks for this info on the c300. I'm struggling with the " low, mid, and high" settings in combination with the 0-6 assist levels. What are they for? The way I think the 1-6 assist levels work is if the max speed is say 24mph, then if I have level 1 set it will help me up to a...

Hi folks, first time on, but have been following much of the discussions. It helped me decide to go ahead and buy a couple of the rear carrier kits during the New Year sale. I'm now well into the first build. First bike is my ridgeback velocity hybrid. Learning points so far - bottom bracket is...
