Totally agree trex. I swapped to a 12T rear cog, and I'm running a BBS02. These units need to be kept spinning fast, and not laboured for any period of time. The 250w will struggle to keep momentum going with an 11T on inclines.

Definitely give the 2.0's a try. Mine are 2.1's and I have no problem with handling or traction on the rough stuff. The stiff construction allows the tyre to be run at lower pressure. I have mine at 35psi and have noticed a marked improvement in grip and shock absorption. Edit: In fact tyres...

Yes, but don't forget that you will probably regain the use of the other two gears, so you'll have a 42T chainring coupled to the 32T rear cog, for monster hill climbing. Also, once you have your programming cable, you can unleash a few more watts ;) They usually come from the Bafang factory...

Good to see companies are now manufacturing these cables in a decent length. I bought mine ages ago in only a half metre length, and it's a PITA getting the laptop close enough to the bike to connect :(

No sorry, I meant in your current situation you can only go down to 44T chainring and 24T rear sprocket for gearing purposes. This wouldn't be ideal for really steep hills. A custom 42T chainring may open up the possibility to use your largest sprocket size, which is 32T. Combined with the...

You should be ok for the majority of regular hills. The only concern would be, is that the smallest gearing you could go down to is something like 44T-24T. The Bafang loves to be kept spinning fast, not only to help stop the controller from overheating, but to prevent too much strain on the...

What's Bluetooth?

Anyone interested in reprogramming their BBSxx, here's a UK supplier for the lead. Bafang Programming Lead for BBS01, BBS02, BBSHD 1.5m cable Insat International are a well established company. A few members have had their electric bike batteries recelled by them.

You could try contacting Pedelec member Catsnapper. I seem to remember that he rebuilds wheels. Don't quote me though :eek: http://pedelecs.co.uk/forum/members/catsnapper.5280/

As trex mentions, I had a similar problem with chain alignment when I first fitted my BBS02. My kit came with a 48T chainring, but luckily I didn't have any issues of clearance with the chainstay. I did have major issues with the chain jumping off the chainring, when the bike was in either the...

You just gotta love Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres. Also, check out the bike the guy in the video is riding... Nice :)

Have ridden about 15 miles with the new Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, and thought I would share my views on them. They are the 2016 version with the improved dynamic tread profile. Fitting them is a tiny bit harder than some tyres, due to the stiff nature of the construction. I wouldn't want to...

Yep, they are 2 for 1 promotional packs. Here's some more pictures for clarification:

I actually ended up ordering from eBay, as Tweeks didn't appear to have any way of paying via PayPal. It was a few pence cheaper too, and delivery was super fast :) Muc Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner 10 Litre Pack (Buy One 5L Get Another 5L Free) Anyway, even though the containers say motorcycle...

I can confirm what Nealh says in post #23, from personal experience unfortunately :( The bike will power up, but the motor won't spin. The display will sometimes throw up an error code, but not always. One tip for BBSxx controller and drivetrain longevity, is to ensure you are in the correct...

After doing some more research, I see that the Land Cruiser tyre is only available in 1.75 width for your particular wheel. The Marathon Plus MTB at 2.10 might be more suitable for your needs, plus you get the benefit of superior puncture protection over the Land Cruisers.

+1 for either the Schwalbe Land Cruisers, or the Marathon Plus MTB's. If the majority of your riding is road and light tracks, then the Land Cruisers are the ones to go for. More muddy, loose and wooded areas, then go for the Marathons. According to Schwalbe, there is no difference between...

I'd like to run them as low as that. At that pressure though, am I at risk of damaging the rims when riding over prominent tree roots?

That's good news about the cable. I use the same thing to tweak my BBS02 every now and again, so if you have any problems with connecting to the Bafang software, then post again and I'll help out. The only issue I had was finding a suitable driver for Windows 10. As for the 350w marking on the...

Excellent, thanks Paul, I'm convinced these are the right tyres for me :)
