    Woosh Crank Noises

    o n my santa ana cd the creaking noises were due to the crank arms being loose - it seems (from my LBS) that the crank arms are inferior and that the alloy rounded and the bolts loosened. I contacted Woosh who at first agreed to send crank arms and have it installed at the LBS(they wer due to...

    bafang bpm code 10

    many thanks, that wiring diagram is a real find (for me), it clarifies everything (or what to connect everything to) and its simple. but there isn't any indication of which LED panel. I've emailed BMS who will hopefully advise. Next step is to build it all and then test the other stuff (three...

    bafang bpm code 10

    off-road at 31mph would create even more interesting scenarios around here (I'm trawling around ebay for a cheap full suspension steel framed job)

    bafang bpm code 10

    yikes, that raises several questions. it's written 36V on the motor (didn't realise pics were so fuzzy, apologies). I still have to figure out which wires are the display wires. shorting them wouldn't be a problem - but getting different PAS levels sounds great - but which display would one get...

    bafang bpm code 10

    many thanks - that practical info really helps, mine will go into a 26 wheel at 36 V, 22 mph will be spot on (I have no moral objections to 31 mph, but it will be seriously dodgy on the very bad potholed roads around where I live) - I'll need to finish installation to really understand what...

    bafang bpm code 10

    afraid no display came with, and there is only the thick black and red wires (no thin red wire), thanks re throttle - it has LED's (how does one match it to battery voltage?). I don't really mind the absence of a display (except that a speedometer would be good I prefer stealthy look). many...

    bafang bpm code 10

    here are pics with the details, dear all - two entirely noob questions - why does the throttle say 48V(will it be OK at 36?), and is there a way with this controller to get less assistance over a larger speed range (say in a torque censored way 50% assistance from zero to 24 mph) or will it be...

    bafang bpm code 10

    mine is the 36V 500W code 10, that's great news (24 mph cruising and managing 31% hills would be perfect), I'm looking at underspeccing it because I enjoy a degree of cycling and am looking for assistance rather than power alone, will check controller later (it's at home, I'm at work) and get back

    having had a similar experience recently with a different seller on here than this thread sadly documents I'm getting a fair idea about the part of this forum that is about marketing parading as an interest in pedelecs, one lives and one learns..

    bafang bpm code 10

    dear all, have you seen this http://bruceteakle.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page_8.html it's (to me) a usefully hands on account of using the bpm - I've just received a code 10 BPM from BMS in a 20 wheel (I'm kind of torn between putting it in a recumbent given the that this isn't the Netherlands and...

    Bosch bearings

    in my reality (two cars, five plus bikes, all way, and i mean way, way, way, over 5000 miles on each) bearings have not failed. the last bearing ive had to repair was ten years ago on a '55 berkeley SE360. No, i really wont be buying a Bosch pedelec ANY time soon..

    Secret of panasonic hub climbing power

    thanks for all the detailed practical info (I thought about putting the 328 rpm bpm in a 26 wheel, but gathered efficiency would be too low in normal use)..

    Do 20" bikes pull better than bigger bikes?

    and and all for five hundred dollars...very nice. I tried the kalkhoff I thought the sahel was a case of "form over function" (too much design) until I tried one a few weeks ago - one thing that hasn't been said is that small wheels accelerate better - much faster with the same crank drive as...

    Fat Guy Needs a Folding Conversion on Train Commute!

    well, two things, I think your motivation/inspiration is great (I'm not quite a peter jones but, when not in a hurry, I often use swinging the Brompton - as one can readily do with one arm - as a kind of workout, weird as that may sound), the second is that I second a Brompton (over the weekend...

    Fat Guy Needs a Folding Conversion on Train Commute!

    I have rohloff Brompton that weighs 13.2kg (had to weigh it for flying), it's not really the big deal it's made, easywheels go a very long way as you say and the occasional stairs is survivable. the only thingis I weigh around 90kg, I know someone (northernwalker - he has a blog on www) who...

    Riese & Muller Delite 2

    great review, with hindsight i'd say the review after two months or so of owning a pedelecmay be more significant. other than that the only downside of rohloff's are that their so damn good (one ends up wanting to put one on every bike one has)

    Bosch bearings

    but one is sourcing the compoonents oneself, from the point of view of owning it (not making profit), so not the cheapest possible crap (that seem to occupy trex's consciousness so much, i wonder why..), but a decent basic bike with something like a bpm2 (at half the cost of . it doesnt take too...
