Wow clearly I have been missing stuff not visiting this part of the forum. Could you imagine Police here even getting over the H&S and admin bureaucracy to use those here! Regards Jerry

Hey this forum seems like fun I may spend more time checking it out lol Regards Jerry

Benjy, The primary reason I use A123 cells is for their safety! As my packs only need to be small, capacity wise, weight is not really an issue. That smaller 1.1Ah pack weighs 0.5kg and will get me to work with just a little more effort than the larger 1kg 2.3Ah pack. I might add the bike...

I am a huge fan of A123 cells. My experience of them though is only in small capacity DIY packs. Regards Jerry

Oh no it got moved to a different forum I only ever visit the main electric bicycles one and the classifieds lmao! Time to broaden my horizons I guess :p Regards Jerry

Russ sorry about us rebels and thanks for all your efforts to help make this forum a great/very addictive place to come :) Not sure if this post should be in this thread or the other :p Regards Jerry

How does one practise being Church of England ? Just to jump on the religion topic, I was a born again Christian until I woke up from that delusion. Then again Christians would argue its not a religion and that if I am no longer a Christian I was never one in the first place :p Some of...

"His advice was "Tight, but not silly tight" For sure. Our fathers back then didn't have access to the many tools we do and I suspect were far more laid back than we are. Regards Jerry

Oh now I understand what you mean. An open ended spanner with one of these lol Regards Jerry

Ah good point. Brain is not in gear, of course a wrench with a socket would not work on the cable side either lol Ps Something like this might do the trick ? Way too anal lol Regards Jerry

Neptune it is a little larger but as you say pretty small. Will be interesting to see how it looks when its laced up into a rim and fitted. Need to speak to catsnapper (Alan) about cutting me a set of spokes ;) Regards Jerry

Thanks Pete, On mine there is a plug that I can undo which would allow me to slip a closed ended torque spanner over it. I am thinking in investing in one. Any recommendations anyone ? My feel tends to be a lighter touch, by holding the spanner very near the nut end and doing it up tight...

For me flecc a lot of fun has come in the last couple of years discovering ebikes and commuting on them to and from work. Makes the tedious worth while. I do actually enjoy my job mainly for the social contact which I would miss :) Now way off topic, but I am convinced so much is down to a mind...

My experience is that the older you get the more funnier life becomes, or is that the more it becomes a joke ? Regards Jerry

Probably a silly/anal question, but is there a standard torque setting for tightening the motor shaft nuts in the dropouts ? I tend to do mine by feel.... That all sounded so wrong :o Regards Jerry

The folded size as well as the weight will be a problem lugging on and off trains. The ideal solution would be a Brompton conversion, but of course its expensive. Regards Jerry

cwah as this is an as yet untried motor I will be treating it with kids gloves ;) Actually the ones without the controller built in are not as expensive. This one worked out at about £120 incl shipping. If anyone is thinking of ordering one make sure you ask for the V brake version in the...

That Tesco link did not work for me ? This one does That is not bad value! Depends what you I get I guess, looks like its 24v (see Kirstins comments). I would like to test the ride for comfort and position for sure as this varies greatly (and can be terrible) on some small wheeled folders...

I whipped out the Nano from my existing EBrompton conversion to see how the new motor will fit in. Despite the wider main body it does fit in the Brompton and clear the forks just! Spacing either side is close and requires two washer on the non cable side and one on the cable (drive) side...

Goldant flange inner width is 10mm wider than the Nano. The OLD (Over Locknut Dimension) is the same for both motors at about 82mm Goldant flange diameter. I think the Nano is about 120mm. Distance between hole centres is 90mm. Spec/Motor markings. Note this is also motor number 0001...
