OK so I've ordered a battery and bag, a KT controller, LCD and PAS. I HOPE YOU'RE ALL VERY HAPPY NOW! :D

OK, so say I did buy a KT controller and LCD, would I also have to buy a KT PAS sensor? Or is this part universal?

I've just had a look at Greenlance, Yose and PSWpower and none of them seem to have batteries of the right shape that would fit in a headtube bag. Would you happen to have a link to the Aliexpress bag please?

Err.... I've already ordered the Yosepower 20" front conversion kit (minus battery) which comes with a Lishui controller. £134 shipped. It should be arriving today. I know you and other knowledgeable people here always recommend KT controllers, but I have a Lishui controller on my Trek and I'm...

So may I ask which shipping method you chose please?

I like that battery and the bag, 15AH as well, nice. I'm not sure if Woosh sell batteries (or other conversion parts) separately. Their bag battery looks very tidy on the bike, I'm not sure if you could squeeze a controller in there as well.

So, today's episode is about the brakes. This is what I bought from Ali Express, cable operated hydraulic calipers, all the hydraulic fluid is contained in the calipers themselves. These have been discussed on this forum many times before and the general opinion is that they are a massive...

I quite like the idea of the battery and controller in one bag. What battery is in the bag? Do you have a link to the bracket you bought from B&Q please?

I'm going to smear the new one with grease before it gets put away for the winter. I only cycle in spring, summer and autumn.

So, the next job was the drive train, the front 52 tooth chainwheel was cleaned and checked and seemed fine. The rear had a Shimano Claris derailleur and a Shimano 8 speed 12-32 cassette. This picture has the replacement chain fitted. I replaced the cassette for a nice, little used chrome...

There are so many brackets, adapters etc. for Bromptons, it's mind-boggling. But those two holes on the Carrera are just crying out to be used for something. Peter.Bridge certainly found uses for them.

I like your thought process. I think I'll give it some squirt and just leave it alone. Unlike the magnetic latch which is used for keeping the two folded halves together. I cannot keep such a nasty part on the bike. Believe it or not you can buy exact replacements from Ali Express for peanuts...

So anyway, putting the battery problem aside for a minute. Here is the bike with a pair of BMX 20x2.0 Halfords tyres fitted and the chain has been replaced with a used but decent 8 speed chain I had in my shed. Also, I thought all handlebars were fixed on folding bikes but I discovered that on...

There are also these options from TBK: The second one is 48v. I have no idea if I can use a 48v battery with a Yosepower 20" front hub kit. Would you happen to know?

The Carrera M6 tapped holes are 30mm apart The Brompton are 25.7mm apparently I have ordered one of these for a laugh, which might open some options for me (two week delivery wait :rolleyes:) Alternatively, I could bolt a plate to the front of the Carrera with two countersunk bolts...

Spammed by what? I'm interested. I have ordered a front wheel kit from Yosepower.

So this is my 2002 Trek 4300 I converted about 3 years ago and a wonderful thing it is too. But, I've decided I need a folding bike because: a) I like building bikes b) Putting my full size bike in the car is a right old pfaff, I can just chuck a folder in the back without even flattening...

Interesting, I will have more questions about this soon.

Does anyone know where I can buy something like this but for a 20" wheel bike? They all seem to be for 26" -28" bikes. I would prefer it with the battery. I can find normal rear racks for 20" bikes, but none for carrying batteries. I certainly don't want to buy one of this style battery and then...

What I want to know is who is this mystery trainee? If the position becomes vacant, I'm totally up for it. Putting aside the slight problems of the fact that I'm an OAP and your living in the frozen north.
