My charging lead has a break somewhere along the first 8 inch or so and needs a good twisting and bending to get my battery to charge. Any of you experts know what I need to be searching for and where I can get a replacment which I can solder directly onto the electronic board?

10'000 miles (Or 16093km sounds better) ------------------------------------------------------- It's taken about 2years 4months to finally reach my milestone. Still with all the same parts, battery,chain,gears,tyres etc however my battery is weak but still gives me the required milage between...

For a project later this year I am thinking of trying my Q128H with the next size lipo's up from 12s. I am thinking 15s (3x5s=easiest wiring) but need to know will an S12S which is rated@48v take 15s lipo's fully charged@63v ? Anyone tried it? or is there a better controller and lcd display...

I got soaked this morning and my LCD will no longer switch on, it got water in it ! I want to open the display up and try drying the insides but can't see how to get it open, has anyone opened up this type of display and got any tips? This is the display. I tried removing the button stickers to...

I currently use Avid BB7 cable disc brakes but the forum has convinced me to try hydraulic brakes. CRC have a sale on at the min and just wondered if anyone knows the difference between the shimano Altus M355 and the shimano Acera M395 (other than the price) and would either budget models be...

I have a bmsbattery 36v 20ah heavy block battery I am finding uncomfortable to carry on the bike, any ideas with a bit of soldering or volt changing what else I could use it to power around the house instead ?

I've recently noticed my front wheel has been a bit 'gritty' when spinning. First I adjusted the brake thinking it was rubbing then decided to check the bearings. It's the first time I've taken the front wheel apart so didn't know what to expect and I've done about 6500 miles on the bike. What I...

There appears to have been an update to the forum which has left me with an annoying extra grey bar down the right side of the screen. It stops me browsing up/down headings and message pages with my mouse wheel. Is there a way to remove it? as I now have to go and grab the furthest small grey...

I'm glad I'm not cycling around London if it's anything like in this video.

I have slime in my front tyre and just noticed today I have 5 bright green spots on my tyre. I presume its from punctures repaired by the slime. Money well spent then. The thing is now what do I do? The tyre is still up so do I leave it and pump it up a touch more, how long have you known slime...

I don't know anything about dnp freewheel gear-sets (yet) and am interested in the Q128H motor d8veh is reviewing which needs one of these gear-sets. Will this 7 speed one work ok with my existing KMC X8.93 chain, 8 speed shimano acera shifter and shimano M171 48/38/28 chainset and shimano...

I tried my LCD3 this weekend with my wattmeter attached and found the PAS amp levels a bit strange. PAS levels 3,4,5 on s12s went something like 10a,14a and 26a, wheres the inbetween 14a and 26a? I was expecting it to uniformly increase by a fifth. Likewise on a s06s they went something like...

Before starting to ebike regularly I purchased one of these 36v 20ah shrinkwrapped batteries with the idea I could just charge once/twice a week instead of daily. https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-battery/445-36v-20ah-li-ion-shrink-tube-ebike-battery-pack-battery.html On the dozen or so times I've...

Recently ordered an LCD3 to try. To top the order up with other bits and forgetting at the time I already had one in the garage I ordered an S12S controller. It came today and it's mahoosive. Now I need a truck size bike to try it on. Any Ideas why the new one would be sooo big? Compare the...

I don't know much about electronics and my wiring isn't the best but I am adding one of these volt displays to my handlebars http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261242417255?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Because the wires are exposed at the back I want to make it a bit safer...

I have 2x2s lipo's which will always be used in series together. To save me plugging/unplugging 2 leads every time, is it possible to semi/permanently series them together into a 4s then tape them together too as one battery. The discharge leads I'm sure is easy, simply using a series harness...

Cycling into a 30mph head on wind the other day has give my battery a beating. At 18mile it died where I have in the past had 30miles. Not to worry I give it a good charge up for the next day, but I noticed a considerable lack of power even though the volts on my handlebar volts display appeared...

I am thinking of a large saddle type bag to hide 2x 5s lipo's, or even 2x 6s lipos if possible. Has anyone tried it and found one strong/secure enough and large enough for them with some padding ? My controller is probably going in a small box within the frame so that won't be a problem...

I still haven't got this volts x amps / something thing yet. I want to charge 2x 8ah 6s lipo batteries paralleled together on a turnigy 50w 5a charger, or even a new bigger one. I will soon be ordering a power supply to hopefully up the charge rate so how do I work out the power supply in amp...

Routing through my box of ebike bits I have a ku123 (probably ordered by mistake) controller which I guess is an old design controller but I have no control panel for it. How do these work? would I need to buy controlling accessories to use it? and so is it worth me keeping to use in the future?
