Some canny hills in there. Well done. Bob

Thanks for that. I set this up thinking that it would be interesting to see where and how,other folk are riding their bikes and how various setups cope with different terrain. I aint been on for 2 weeks as we have had almost constant 60 Mph winds! Cant do any riding till at least Jan 5th now as...

Thats what came up on the link you gave!!!

A short ride!! According to Strava you started near the equator and finished near London.

With a difference that small I would run a dremel down the seatpost groove and tighten the bolt up a bit more as its less than half a millimetre difference.

Wipperman 7E8 chain is a good strong chain.I have one on my BBS02 that runs up to 1200Watts and is used on forest trails and its well up to the job. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300960739859?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

No.Just need a hub that will run on 44 volts and get me up these hills.Dont need to go fast

Oypla stand came today and is excellent,really heavy duty and the adjusting knobs in the pics have been replaced with quick release clamps which work well. Next job is to clean my stable out so I have room to actually use it!

The hub bike accelerates faster than the BBS but it tends to get less pedalling assistance as I run out of legpower well before it hits full speed. With the BBS it seems to encourage you to pedal more. We have lots of big hills round here and the BBS leaves the hub struggling then.

No reason,I just like something different for a change. I use the BBS for all my long distance rides.

Or drum brakes (or no brakes and use a snowdrift to stop):eek:

No I want 2 different bikes/motors for different uses. The BBS for trails and the Xiongda for tarmac riding. I will be using the same batteries for both rather than having a set standing for any length of time.

Put some cable ties round your tyres/rims. Makes any bike into a snow bike https://www.eta.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/imported/images/cable%20ties.jpg

I have the same Trax bike with a 1000 Watt Dillenger front wheel kit on and its done over 500 miles so far and its only had a gel seat cover and a pair of Clark Exo Skeletal brakes put on since new. The bike was free (paid for by the government) as I am a full time carer and the brakes cost...

Our next door neighbour is the guy that started the Farmwatch scheme off (got his MBE the other week) and so we get police at his house most days so this helps with security as well.

It might fold if you hit a big enough bump :eek: Love the drop handlebars for streamlined riding but not sure they are compatible with those rear seats though...

I have 8 cctv cameras on my farm. Shall I leave now? LOL

I ordered one of those stands direct from Oypla last week.Looks like they are all gone now as well.
