    Cyclotricity 1000w cruiser conversion

    Don't waste your money on the cheap blue eBay ones as they don't last long. I have a few GT Power Meters and although not completely accurate,they are close enough and have lasted nearly 3 years now. I did blow one yesterday after putting 115 volts through it! My fault entirely.

    Cyclotricity 1000w cruiser conversion

    You can use a Cycle Analyst with ANY ebike. Get the SA (stand alone) version and simply connect the supplied shunt to the wires between battery and controller.

    Chainline offset for BBSHD and hub gear - how much is too much?

    As the OP rightly said,if you use a 9 speed cassette like me ,the chain canbe nearly an inch out of line in top and bottom gear. I use a standard chainring and 9 speeds and have never had a problem and most of my riding is done in top gear ..

    What are you using for security and luggage?

    I use a pair of 38 litre Cordo Tarpa Plus panniers on my Marin. They hold 64Ah of batteries that take up about a third of the space leaving lots for tools,spares,jacket and shopping. On my Cannondale I use an EM3EV triangle bag that hold 16Ah and an Additive V2 bag that hold another48Ah if...

    They are so simple to do. My last BBSHD conversion on a Marin Muirwoods took less than 2 hours from start to finish.

    Long-Term, Reliable FW Kit - does it exist?

    My spare wire is all tucked into the small triangle bag at the front. I prefer this to shortening them because I can guarantee if I did that the next bike I put it on will require longer wiring! If you look closely you can just make out the blue battery bags at the rear. Wekk, it does hold 14S...

    Chain stretch?

    I bought 3 Clarkes chains on sale from Halfords for £3 each. The first slipped after less than 180 miles and the other 2 went in the bin. Bought KMC x93 chain and they last over 1000 miles each and thats with a BBSHD and 50% offroad riding. They get lubricated every 500 miles with Muc Off C3...

    Chain stretch?

    In the summer I can ride 100+ miles a day. I reckon that would make it an expensive hobby!

    Chain stretch?

    I would say it depends how expensive your cassette is. My 11T-34T 8 speed cassette is £9 from Halfords so I am happy to wait until it starts slipping in the top 2 gears before changing the chain (£11). After the second chain does the same I replace it and the cassette. Alternatively you could...

    no reading from wattmeter from battery output terminals?

    Latest GT Power instructions show the positive wire connected through the meter to the load but it will work either this way or the way I describe above. I have 3 of these wired this way between my bulk chargers and batteries...

    no reading from wattmeter from battery output terminals?

    Source side + and - should be connected to your battery and load side - is connected to the negative wire from your motor as it goes back to the battery .Simplest way is to cut the negative wire going to the battery and put the wattmeter inline with the source side nearest the battery. The red +...

    More ebike woes

    Plenty of YouTube videos on gear adjustment and once done you realise how easy it is. Just done mine on a brand new Marin Muirwoods that the dealer never even removed from the box before sending to me along with rear disc alignment!

    noob

    Hi Joe. Whitby is my favourite place in the UK and I visit at least 3 times every winter. I am going to ride my bike from Barnard Castle to Whitby this summer. There is a Sustrans route and its 74 miles so a canny day out.

    40MPH at last!

    I have 64Ah of batteries fitted so up to 150 miles at a push but my butt would give up first! Charging normally takes around 2 hours to 90% using 4 Mean well 350-48 bulk chargers.
