Hmm perhaps the pop bottle variant can be saved for a very dry summer.. Cheapo P/R clips and salvaged full front mud guard from the rusty bottom of the garden bike it is..

Postie has delivered the last few bits n bobs and well im somewhat disappointed in the quality of some of the ultra cheap components i selected. primarily these handlebar buttons.. buttons1 and button2 Both will let any water in and are fitted with wires so thin.. if wired upto turn on...

Bagsy the next 2l pet or hdpe bottle, thanks for the template.. Though i may give @Raboa s suggestion a go first using non sports bike p clips however ;) as i have a mudguard that matches the one bodged on the rear already.. the lack of mounting h/w stumped me this afternoon. damn n blast U...

My essence is that of a cheap ol git so of course I would rather not buy one :) As long as its functional, if spending a couple of pints worth keeps me a tad dryer and keeps mud off my goggles..(i need em on the rd @soundwave i weep otherwise) then spend i shall.. Just wanted confirmation its...

Great looking bike, but whats the splash back like at 10mph through 3-4inches of water/mud? Granted £8 is better than 9.99 but its still just a thin sheet of whats filling my recycle bin, The proguard maxi in your 2nd link is more in line with my blind expectations.. perhaps i should have...

What would you suggest for a front mudguard for a MTB with basic sprung forks and no apparent mounting h/w? The intended terrain is muddy bridleways and tracks so wet legs are a given but i would like to avoid face spray as much as possible. An amazon search told me This time i am out of my...

Thanks for the link, and its certainly an option. the current rear rack mount was an idea, perhaps not a good one.. as i have swiped the battery twice with my size 9's getting on and off the bike just checking the brakes.. Inside the frame triangle is a no go unless i drill and rivnut 3 new...

Orange Bike Rides again!! I pulled the rear mudguard and rear rack off an old junker and bodged them onto the bike, this allowed me to mount the battery on the rear rack as an alternative to on the top of the crossbar. The brakes were a doddle to sort out, they take the same pads as the yellow...

Just an excuse to post a pic.. A similar motor and noname controller combo running headless with the 17ah 48v battery recently bought from greenlance.. Only just finished the bolt up today so I cant report on total milage but ive been up and down my rd at least 5x testing brakes etc.. so thats...

look out for postman dropped elastic bands to secure the carrier bags @guerney posted recently about rucksack covers, they look like over-sized shower caps and the elastic should keep them on the bike adding a drawstring would make sure

my understanding of the testers @Electrik Skok is using requires the tester to replace the motor in order to test the controller, so battery issues unless the battery is completely fried are unlikely to be revealed as the tester box can hardly draw a significant load? If it needs replacing the...

not exactly a pedelec either if just throttle control, so not within the scope of this site really try https://endless-sphere.com/ for views and info not in conflict with uk regs..

the label on the controller box will shed more light and define replacement parameters. However 99ah from 3 sets of 13 cells smells a bit off to me? and afaik samsung make the cells and dont package them further as a rule for consumer access at least?? what exactly doe the tester show...

And then there were Three. Ok the controller bag is an old travel toiletries bag and its secured to the frame with gaffer tape, but after too many hours trying to tesselate the controller and wires into what was described as an extra large controller box (ha) Trust me this is bloody good...

An rough n ready ah check is to simply measure the voltage of the battery when low and determine what % of 'charge' is in the battery for example .. if a 20ah battery at 50% capacity charged with a 4a charger should take 2 1/2 hours to charge.. If it takes significantly less I would doubt the...

175mm long spokes arrived and i laced up the orange bike rear wheel, took me a while but i eventually got it within 1mm of round and 1-2mm of true before bending all the spokes and repeating the true-ing.. and finally I fitted a tyre.. So I had to see how far i could get.. and i spent the...

Want to swap garages? Thats a nice looking bike, consider me green with envy..

wtf? looks like the bike DH Lawrence would want to die on, is that steam punk retro or?

silica crystal cat litter is about a fiver for 5l, pretty much the same stuff as found in the little silica dehydration pouches, and can also be revitalised in the oven (best not to try this after used for cat litter tho.. )

In the brew forums i frequent its very common for such items to be offered up in forum classifieds for a token paypal family and friends payment to cover actual pnp and the proportionate cost of 2x or however many of the items are offered.. 2w resistors however may not have many folk chomping...
