Greetings gedemeisterdk, A high proportion of model aircraft fliers have changed from using NimH to Lipoly batteries. Many of these now obsolete chargers are capable of charging up to 24V. Most require a powerful 12V DC power supply but there are internet sites that show how to convert an...

Thank you Stephen, I did enjoy that photo, could you find a suitable one on that recipe? 3) A radio controlled servo could slowly rotate the barrel of a brake cable adjuster to apply full braking power. Consider being soaked with dyed water, trailing a streamer of coloured smoke, brakes...

Would it be reasonable to take more assertive action to prevent the theft of bicycles? A normal weak and wimpy motion alarm could be fastened to the handlebars, to remind any owner with poor short term memory that the alarm is active. Unauthorised movement of the bike over a timed period could...

An improved search function on the lines of eBay, with + this and - that would be helpful, particularly in referring newcomers to relevant threads. Dave

RedSkywalker, Being dyslexic I read that site as showing the following. "monitor the supply chain throughout, from manufacture right through to our customer." "Free test ride" "We Come To You" Would that such an offer were made here! Dave

As a one-time commercial spray painting contractor and a long time peasant, would I be spoiling an "in" joke? Dave Equipment for spray painting multi-colour Equipment for spray painting multi-colour (fleck) - Lion Industries

Stranger, And others who are considering the Monark ECO @ £1250. The Monark has the same Panasonic motor and is very similar to my Gitane that does not appear to be available in the UK now. Both have the Shimano Nexus 3 speed hub gears with a gear spread of 1.86 to one, whereas the Nexus 7...

An indication of how many days each thread has been running please. Dave

"perhaps controversial "? What's with this M letter you put in front of your road numbers? :D On the direct road from London to Edinburgh the A1 road is mostly 2 lane north of Alnwick. There has been talk of up-grading stretches to DUAL CARRIAGEWAY but this has been denied by official...

Standards Gentlemen, If there is one man on this forum that need no-one to defend him it is flecc . However some other posters should note that we came from an age when we had far greater freedoms and we were expected to exercise them. Words are chosen carefully for accuracy, as you can...

My Gitane E-Bike-8 has a Panosonic motor and was fitted from new with an 8Ah battery in a case similar to the 10Ah on other makes. The 10 second test always shows 5 lamps lit, so in this case the lamps can not equal 2 amps each. OK now but looking to the future? Has anyone tried using...

Panasonic Power Greetings Ninelives, Your observations are exactly in line with my belief that there are some drivers who dis-regard cyclists as being non-people. Inasmuch as cyclists are seen and position noted more as an obstacle to be overcome rather than fragile flesh and blood people...

I have 1 Wacky 'thought' project where I post pictures and dimensions of my wide safety trailer. Safety as in bringing increased safety for the cyclist, and Wacky 'cos I have mentioned it several times but people would rather deal with the dangers in other ways. But who is Wacky? For 20+...

flecc, Again my thanks for the links. I have some ancient bearing scrapers and I am assisting the wearing in with judicious touches on the highlights once in a while, keeps the hand in. Dave

flecc, Thank you for the interesting information. A word of caution, the basket on the handlebars of the Gitane is sturdy enough and can be easily unclipped for shopping, good, but it is not suitable for other than light articles. I loaded mine with flour to keep the breadmaker going for a...

flecc, My battery is like both the D2 leisure in your link and the lower of your two photos. From what I can make out of the lower picture is that is an agattu with a hacked battery? I will try to attach a photo of my battery. Third try, not much good at this web photo thing! Dave

flecc, My battery weighs 2.25 kg, it is ladled Cycleurope Industries NKY234B02 8Ah, there is another smaller label with a barcode and other numbers. It measures 10 and 3/4 inches to the top of the handle and appears identical to other Panasonic batteries, perhaps they have a common...

Aldby, Originally I posted this when I first bought my Gitane E-Bike 8 and my enthusiasm for this bike has not dimmed in the slightest. As far as I know there is only size 45.50 but at 5' 8" I am quite comfortable...

Nostatga Just after the war motorbikes were hard to come by, particularly for apprentice mechanics aged 14, employers had just given up the practice of charging for an apprenticeship. I played pick and mix with two 250cc Francis Barnet Cruisers, one of 1935 and one of 1937 and the resultant...

The Maestro, Reading "spoke cutting and threading tools" in your post got me looking for such a tool. I must admit that for a number of years my vintage Cyclo spoke rolling machine has been rolling spokes for clevis push rods for radio controlled models. The machines you mention are not...
