Sorry Pat, I've never heard of it. I've always just found the same as Dave said, rotors all seem to have the same standard 6 hole fittings, with the different outer overall diameters being the main variation. I had one bike where I had to buy shim spacers to move the rotor outwards on the...

I have Magura hydraulic calipers on my bike, but I have fitted a larger than standard rotor on the front, and it does have the two standard types of caliper mount, so it shows the differences and a spacer. The front disc is a post mount fitted with an adapter to convert it to the Magura's IS...

Wow, glad I don't live there......... Here's another form of suicide, shot with the Sony. Some nutter with the Sony HDR-AS30V camera "lane splitting". Sorry, I know it's a motorbike and not a push bike, but it shows the GPS overlay capability of the new Sony cam for about £225. The 1080P...

I keep searching for the elusive perfect POV action cam, for cycling, walking, canoeing ans sailing. I don't try to surf the crest of "cutting edge" development because we punters seem to be drip fed with new features, making last years kit redundant too quickly !! This thread stirred my...

That's very good range compared to my own experiences with my other bikes and motors AWOL. My battery setup is standardised on two ready made 36v 10ah lithium ion battery packs in fitted alluminium cases with integral rear light and led battery level gauge. I've used them with a 250w 36v front...

Dave gave me a tip about fixing the torque arm. Rather than use the jubilee clip, the link arm can be modified to line up with an existing fixing point, like the brake caliper mounting bolt. Another thing I found out from bitter experience, you need to make it easy to remove the rear wheel...

Quite true Jack. Though it is fun to be able to nonchalantly blast past the Lycra clad mob when the setup is nice and stealthy. :) Even when it had the big black 1000w direct drive hub, it raised a few eyebrows.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes Awol, I'm quite happy the way the controller box turned out. I'd gone in to Maplins to peruse their stock of plastic and metal boxes, with a cardboard replica of the controller. That particular die cast box was just the right size to accommodate the controller...

Here's another build after AWOL's using another of Dave's MXUS 350w rear hubs with a cassette spline. I'd asked a question on here about electrifying my recumbent with a 20" front wheel hub motor. Among the replies and tips, Dave suggested using a hub motor in the 26" rear wheel for...

I stand corrected there Jerry, I was unaware of the different frame material, (quite big oversight too !! :o ). It's interesting to hear what you say about Brompton initially setting up a license and production in China. I guess that's how such a close copy was made easier. I believe exactly...
