    Good by battery! RIP

    The recycle centre (or the TIP as we used to know it) accepts all sorts of batteries, but I bet d8veh will have you bring it back to life first though !!

    Commuter Bike Build

    Here I was a couple of months ago deciding to start some cycling after having never even sat on a bike for 20ish years, so took on the challenge of building my own ebike from knowing nothing, this includes learning how to and building the rear drive wheel. Thanks to everyone for help and thanks...

    After watching this can anyone recommend a good bike lock? Don't think I'm going to buy a cable type one.

    Battery Connection

    According to the charger it's now fully charged but on the button I got 4 greens and 1 red. Should they all show green, or are they generally not that accurate ? Thanks d8veh

    Battery Connection

    Yep ok thanks d8veh, when taking the pic though I noticed there are only those 2 points in the battery that have terminals in them so checked polarity and got 41.3v The others were blanks and must be guides. Anyway, shes alive Ive had it spinning on the stand, pedelec and throttle. Fantastic...

    Battery Connection

    OK, crimp+connectors, anderson connectors(just in case), heatshrink bits and battery have all arrived on same day. Great, however the battery connector has 5 pins, 2nd pin from end pin marked '-' and 4the pin marked '+' so thats ok. I can't solder them tonight so will create good tight crimp...

    Punctures

    This post made me realize I have no puncture repair kit so off I went to order one and stumbled across a product called panaracer flataway which claims to prevent punctures by lining the inside of the tyre and protecting the innertube with a kevlar type material, so am giving one a go on the...

    Battery Connection

    Thanks all, I'm a lot clearer what I'm looking for now. By the way d8veh what did you mean by bridge the connectors earlier? Did you mean part the heavier wire at the end into 2 halves and solder each half to a pin or did you mean construct a seperate divider type wire ?

    Gear problem

    I had a similar problem on my newly built rear wheel's first test ride, everything looked fine. To cure it I packed the frame out 1.5mm that side with a washer and problem solved.

    Battery Connection

    I've ordered a 36v10ah bottle battery and the description states 'have to solder own controller wires to discharge port'. So to be ready I best dig out my soldering iron and make some wires up too. What size wire is generally used to the battery and what size bullet shaped sockets are the...

    Rear Disc Brakes

    Yes, I put the cassette on and there was about 1mm clearance between the last cog and the frame. Having just re-read your post I may need to place a washer back under the cassette side as I never considered the thickness of the chain being on that last cog too.

    Rear Disc Brakes

    Thanks all, It was as d8veh described above,switched a washer from cassette side to disc side and packed the frame out another 3 or 4mm on the disc side with a couple of extra washers and the disc lines up spot on. I am unable to have both the locking nut and the anti-rotation washer thing both...

    Rear Disc Brakes

    With my rear drive motor in situ on my bike I can see when I assemble the brake disc to the motor, it isn't going to line up with the caliper. Any way around this with some standard part?

    New build.

    Could you split the batteries up and put them in rear side pannier bags somehow instead?
