New bar end shifters (from Microshift) fitted so the right one now index's which makes life a lot easier. However had to limit it to 6 as the deraileur hits the case bolts, on the stoopidly huge Dillinger motor, in 1st gear. Once I've got this thing rideable I can't wait to get rid of that motor.

I'm not a million miles away in Ceredigion. What's occuring?

Try CPC Farnell. Their search engine is a bit carp, so you may have to wade through a few pages. https://cpc.farnell.com/search?st=junction%20box&gs=true Good for spiral wrap and heat shrink too.

Aah, I see, it's American. What are they like to import from?

I'll try the finger tips. I'm aware of newbie tension, at times I'm uneccasarily pushing on the bars, which doesn't help. Seems this beastie needs a light touch. Unfortunately a bar end won't fit below the grip because the hydraulic brake cylinder gets in the way. It all feels a bit congested...

That seems the way to go. When I get the new changers I'll be trying them that way round, also it gets a cable out of the way. Should be soft enough to cut the top inch away to allow a forward facing bar end to mount a mirrcycle to. Could this be starting to come together?

Same as me. Does the cable run under the grip? If so are they some sort of soft/malleable grip? Anthony, what's that bracket for?

They look like adapted/shortened Mirrcycles put on bar end extensions. Hadn't thought of putting those at the top. It looks like your gear changers are 180 rotated to mine. Do the changer cables run down your side of the grip? If so that would seem to make it a push/pull thumb change which I...

Thanks Guerny. I think I could get it to work but wondering if the trade off between having it tight enough to stay put and, loose enough to swing out of the way as I bring the bike in the house, will work. A high percentage of the reviews mention breakages.:( Never had a problem with Mirrycle...

Project has stalled while I fettle the bike. Have ordered new bar end gear changers and cables 'cause I can't get them right and the rear will only work friction not index. Still haven't found a mirror that will fit and be big enough. Upgraded front disc to 160mm and it's awesome. Had a wobbly...

Or it could be the winding code of the motor. The winding code should be within the code number on the motor casing. Motors can only rotate as fast as their construction allows. Once it reaches it's design maximum rpm it produces enough back EMF to equate to the supply voltage, so cannot spin...

Fantastic service from Yoseower. Don't know what error 25 is but can't see how leaving a system on would cause a motor fail. A stacatto noise suggests that something is out of synch. Are you sure the battery still has charge? Was the bike wet when you put it away? It's very unusual for a hub...

Well that seals it - AKM128 it is. I've never had the Ezee bog down as a front hub so, if I can keep that going should be able to manage it with a 128 with higher gearing ratio. Ezee's are high speed, on the stand mine tops out at 19/20mph. The controller does not have a cut off speed. So...

Thought I'd seen it somewhere, is this the one? https://www.topbikekit.com/ebike-motor-cover-removal-tool-for-akm-747585100sx100cst100h128cst128h-motor-p-520.html

Yes, I had wondered about the idler. Just went to look and there's certainly enough room and mounting brackets , however the idler can spin independant of the chain despite having teeth (may need to look at that) but it's a possible.

I bought one of these for the bent. https://www.amazon.co.uk/AWE%C2%AE-AWEFlashTM-Bicycle-Light-Lumens/dp/B00P2PPZW6 Flash is one button press and is really bright, also no faffing with chargers. It's a plastic jubilee style band that I think would go small enough to fit your rack. At that...

Love to buy from you Tony(save a lot of faffing) but, at this point, I don't need a battery and, as far as I know, you only sell complete with batteries. Also I can't see the 128 on your site. Am I missing something?

Love to fit to the small ring, done it on my carrera. However on this one there's a rather substantial steel ring guard, it's all a bit tight on that side. Only a couple of mil between small ring and ring guard stays. So I think I'm going to need a pas with the detector that would normally fit...

It's a square taper BB. I've had the same issue on two bikes now. The pas disc doesn't grip the shaft tightly and can develop a wobble so that the distance to the sensor is variable, and also develops rotational slip. In both cases the crank was removed so the disc could be slipped off...

There are some tough hills. I take the 50% approach, that is I try to keep the minimum climbing speed equal to or greater than 50% of the modal speed. So around 8mph for a 15mph motor. My Ezee has never felt even vaguely warm, the controller however is a different matter. Hence the 9 fets.
