    Cycling. Health. Covid. Diet.

    The last scientific assessment I saw on this was the BMJ review , published a few months ago https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9420317/ which considered the evidence for the two alternative theories.

    There are significant feedbacks when you increase CO2 (eg the warming from CO2 increases water vapour, which is itself a greenhouse gas) but the gain is < 1 so is not unstable. A doubling of CO2 will lead to an temperature increase but will reach equilibrium (IPCC AR6 estimates 3 Deg C most...

    E-Bike for Coast to Coast ride

    So ideally, yes, would be able to mount battery on downtube. Found an extra small 2020 specialized rockhopper expert x2 (29er) locally for £150 with uprated air forks and dropper post. Just asked for the internal dimensions of the frame triangle to see what battery I could fit...

    E-Bike for Coast to Coast ride

    Yeah, on road and off road but on tracks, bridal paths, not serious mtb - they say can be done on gravel bikes and hybrids

    E-Bike for Coast to Coast ride

    I've been having a look on Facebook marketplace and Gumtree and there are quite a lot of Trek Marlin 5s and 6s extra small (my sister is just under 5', her current KTM Macina (size small) is too big for her - I'm 1' 5" taller than her !) They have hydraulic disk brakes, Altus 2* 8 or 9 speed...

    E-Bike for Coast to Coast ride

    So my sister (55yo) is doing an organised coast to coast e-bike ride in June (mixture of roads and off road). She currently has a 12 year old plus KTM Macina with rim brakes , hub gears and a Bosch Classic+ mid motor and a PowerPack 400 Frame battery that she uses for commuting to work. So...

    What rear cassette do you use?

    For my Boardman 29er with Bafang mid drive conversion I bought a Sunrace cassette with high tensile steel sprockets (thought higher strength more important than lighter weight with a mid drive) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115406896819 I also bought a KMC "e-bike" chain...

    24v Battery Replacement Options

    Ok, but the battery is currently mounted on the handlebars (potentially being replaced with a battery on the seatpost), can he just follow the current battery cable route for the LCD wiring ?

    24v Battery Replacement Options

    @saneagle @Nealh @thelarkbox So if the op bought a Yosepower 36v seatpost battery (£173) and KT controller, display, cable and pedal sensor https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256369636190 £52.20 + 10.80 postage That would potentially be a solution ? £236 total

    Sympathetic conversion ideas for Raleigh Clubman from the 80's

    Is there anything special about the Mahle system or would a 201 rpm AKM-75 hub motor in a 700c wheel with a KT controller and 36V10Ah bag battery be as good / better ? (obvs - wouldn't look as cool)

    24v Battery Replacement Options

    One other thought I had was that if you have no display then I think you will get full power from the controller until you approach the assist cut off speed (25km/h). If you had a display, these typically have pedal assistance levels that you can set in the display to suit yourself. This will...

    24v Battery Replacement Options

    Yep - If it was me, I would try a new battery with that controller, if that didn't work, then buy a matching controller/display/ pedal sensor There is lots of options for 36V batteries - bag battery for lightest weight , rack battery if you have rack mounting points, seat post battery, bottle...

    24v Battery Replacement Options

    Do you have an existing display - how do you turn it on at the minute ? (usually displays and controllers are paired.) There is usually a pedal sensor that goes into the controller. Sometimes there are cut offs from the brake levers so the power cuts out - I can't see them on yours Ah here...

    24v Battery Replacement Options

    That's got all sorts of possibilities ! Looks like a standard connector to the rear hub motor wheel So - you could just leave the existing controller and display and use a new 24V ebike battery - all sorts available - has your bike got rear rack fitting points ? or possibly...
