    Replacing 50mm brake blocks with 70mm?

    Thanks, The wheel is pretty true, no wobble when rotating, I think the blocks are orientated on the rim ok, and am pretty sure the wheel sits equidistant between the blocks, I used the brakes under tension to set the position of the blocks on the rim. Though will check and report back...

    Replacing 50mm brake blocks with 70mm?

    There is a good 3 inches plus in 3 of the ends and about 2" in the last(first, the 'technique' improved with experience), I will source some nuts and bolts to thread and secure or simply epoxy them in place.. As yet undecided, but for the proof of concept and short test run up and down the...

    Wiring diagram for an Erider B2000?

    have you checked all the plugs and sockets on wires from the controller? look out for removed pins or pins bent to not connect properly. treat any corrosion with deoxit. For a wiring guide google for the controller model number, but they are all generally the same 2-3 wire inputs for brake...

    Help! Conversion suggestions

    750w takes you into direct drive hub territory where i think for hills you want a geared hub, im sure geared 750w hubs exist but you will have to shop in China or the US for a good selection. i have had a little experience with larger direct drive hubs and hills are not exactly where they shine..

    Help! Conversion suggestions

    I only have experience with hub drives but my understanding of regulation mid drives is that you need to keep up with the motor pedaling in order to keep the motor running. so for someone wanting to hop on and ride thanks to the benefit of the motor the ghost pedaling tactic of us lazy hub...

    Swytch mark 2 battery rebuild

    fwiw the snipped off leg of a resistor or capacitor can be used to probe the female sockets of WP julet connectors. and female dupont jumper wire terminators can fit over the male prongs in plugs but may need LIGHT finger pressure to maintain contact but not too much as to bend pins.

    When it fits!..:) I have plans with materials at hand to secure, and will gladly share if successful, tho that strap sure looks handy if/when i use the trailer without the box.. certainly a better deal than the 2x bungee cords for a £ from tesco..
