It was the first time we have been to Presteign, but could only make it for the Sunday. I have to say it was quite a drive but well worth it, what a great event, we thoughly enjoyed it. The weather couldn't have been better as well. I would like to thank the commentator who kept us laughing all...

Maybe i can post some pictures for those that missed the event. The bike. I couldn't see any secret equipment other than 1 extra 36Volt battery. Mmmmm! Matthew leads most of the race. But with one lap to go..... A race to the finish....it was very close More pictures and a couple...

He won....... Actually very exciting to watch. Better than Formula 1:D Nick won the hillclimb and both races. I have some pictures i will post later today.

Well it was good while it lasted:(. My battery pack is no more, it ceases to be, it's snuffed it. Here is the result. 30 D cells all totally knackered. It got so hot the solder melted and disconnected itself....Luckily! It's my fault for being such a cheapskate. I didn't have a suitable...

It's probably a switched mode PSU therefore any one of a few hundred componants which make up the design could have gone wrong. I know it sounds obvious, but have you looked for any inline fuses or any componants that look like fuses? Unless you are pretty good at fault finding on these things a...

Furthest distance for my diy ebike is 26 miles. 36V Tongxin hub motor and a 10ah battery pack consisting of 30 D cell NiMh all soldered in series. To be honest i am amazed at how this set up is performing. On my last ride of 25 miles at least half of that was into a very strong headwind, but i...

With all the wires dangling out of my diy lashup i'm not sure they would know where to start!!!!One advantage of a ebike of more value to myself than others.:) I rode past a new (abandoned, probably stolen) full suspension bike yesterday, minus wheels. It seems odd that the major parts were left...

I bought a few things. Mini pump £1:99, seems a pretty good design, not used it yet, for that price it's worth a chance. Saddle bag +toolkit £5:85, this is a good deal, i only discovered what was in the kit when i got home. Screwdriver and allen key set in a pull out metal sleeve (not bad). 2...

Nick I put a straight edge across the mounting bolts and measured up to the edge of the rim, where the brake blocks touch. 16mm for the rear and 19mm for the front. (Different make rims front and back). Treat those measurements as minimum, as you can see from the photo, i don't have much...

As has been explained already, it is the angle the cable pulls from. Centre pull is 90 degrees to the action of the levers. The V brake cable pull the levers together in the same plane. The handlebars levers have more travel to compensate, so it is best to get the whole kit, cables and all...
