Cheers, I've cranked them up pretty well, and plan to adjust them again soon - just to be sure! I also soldered the ends after cutting them off, so they stay together and I can still get them out. thanks!

I break stuff all the time... and hopefully fix it - It's my Job :p I'm thinking about something similar as a possibilty anyway. I'll let you know... if they ever get here - there are some very slow boats from China, I'm told.:D

Typical... I fit my NuVinci N360, even ride it to work twice (it's BRILLIANT!), and now I find a NuVinci locally cheaper than the one I got! It is however the earlier model, but comes in the "developer kit" with a autoshifter and controoler to set constant cadence etc.... ..... I think I may...

I just ordered a pair of these last week: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221383200009 I'm hoping they work out well, and maybe I can also run just one during the day, and have hi/lo for night use (I ride to work early in the mornings, but riding home is between 3-30 and 4PM). Also managed to get a...

I can't see it on here: http://www.flightradar24.com/:D It's a bit surprising more don't go missing.

NuVinci's are AWESOME! I just installed mine last night (actually, I rode it around the yeard at 1AM o_O, with no brakes), got it more sorted tonight, and have just spent 30 minutes riding around the yeard again - have brakes now, but no lights, and it's pitch-black by the time I'm half down the...

This doesn't give gradients, but it's a great tool - I found it surprisingly accurate! http://www.electricbikerange.info/Electric_bike_range.html Not really set up for phone use though.

When we had Kids, I stopped running. I used to get up at 5am and run up the hill and back in the mountain bike park over the road from my house. I just have no time now! Two BUSY boys! So my E-bike means I can ride to work and back, and only take 50 minutes per week longer than driving. Plus...

Shhhhhh... don't jinx it! I'm planning on being one of those long term, trouble free users! If I have a massive failure, I'm hoping to have a bit of a fiddle with it. Apparently you can get a replacement fluid if required, and the seal issue should have been resolved by now... I hope! There's...

I'm REALLY laughing out loud here! :D

My wife wouldn't stop right there - maybe along a bit, and call for an ambulance... but she'd make me stop to help if we were together!

Define "old" :D My usual commute is done on a 1996 Diamondback Outlook Oversize. I only paid 35 pounds for it, but it's cost slightly more than that..... by the time I paid for the conversion parts, some repairs, clothing, racks, carry boxes, rims/spokes/ seats and my recent NuVinci Hub o_O...

I had thought about it, but I've already spent HOURS fitting my removable (to charge at work) battery in the frame triangle... I haven't ruled it out entirely though! :cool: I also like the idea of the assist being separate from the pedal drive train, so if one fails, the other works... just in...

I've been having some gear issues on the Frankentraption, so ordered a few bits, and it's still a bit painful! The old chain was VERY worn, which stopped me using the higher gears - it was starting to skip teeth! Fitting the sprockets, and the direct Drive hubmotor into the back has been...

Hmmm... I like tools though - I can nver bear to sell them, or even hire them. I got some silly ones, that I'll only ever use once probably (BMW Suspension Bush removers, Aircooled VW hinge pin removers, Medical Lasers o_O etc) :D Haha... I just ordered the Park tool (and arm coolers, to get...

I work at the local Hospital, and a LOT of people see my bike and comment - they think it's awesome - especially when they ask where I live and realise the hills I cross. This week (besides breaking 2 spokes) I've passed 4 teens, walking their bikes up a hill heading to the Mountain Bike Park I...

Hmmm...I've just been having some issues too... After the first chinese spoke broke, I used Sapim double-butted 13/14's, and a Mavic downhill double wall, eyeleted rim. It was the second wheel I've ever built, so I may have screwed it up entirely! After about 200 miles, a spoke broke on the...

I wired a 9V plug up to the pins for the external power supply on the cheap blue ebay unit. Worked brilliant, and when my BMS wa shutting off, it saved my total consumption etc.

I grease my display with silicone grease - has kept the water out so far... I worry about the throttle though!

Up one particularly steep climb, I've had a teenage boy shout out "You're Keen!", so I shouted back "It's electric!" and he laughed. Following day, he shouted out "Cheat!" and we both laughed, as I rode past him doing 15km/h, while he pushed his :D. On a few occasions, when I've passed other...
