    Custom Cube Kathmandu build

    well, actually, today I noticed that the shifter I will change to. Nexus 8, has integrated brake handle!! That will be a problem. On my current brake handle there is a second cable out, the brake-signal from a micro switch in the handle base. Can't use that now. Any ideas? I could maybe put...

    Custom Cube Kathmandu build

    good point, would look strange :) I also have some levers with built-in switch for the eBrake, don't feel like replacing those.

    Custom Cube Kathmandu build

    The order struggles, haven't dispatched yet since the spokes are delayed. So I cancelled the spokes. Ordered DT Alpine III spokes from another place instead, but DT Comp for the back wheel. Also, I discovered that I had ordered rim brake rims! :mad: so bad, so I had to order new disc brake rims...

    Custom Cube Kathmandu build

    Thanks but I will give it a try, I have good components for it already. As long as it's better than my current v-brake I'm happy :-) On my MTB I have hydraulic they are really awesome. Think also I will put my Nexus-8 from my other bike here instead. Another upgrade to the spec. It's always...

    Custom Cube Kathmandu build

    Hmm, I think carbon fork is wrong for my bike, changed to Rock Shox Paragon. Will be better for my wrists.

    Custom Cube Kathmandu build

    ...actually, that's a challenge now. I will build whole wheels from scratch with custom spokes and stuff. Except the hubs I have actually one more thing to carry over from the old bike, the brake and gear handle :) and new unused grips. The rest of the things is ordered new, I thought it was...

    Custom Cube Kathmandu build

    My current eBike build has served me well, to a limit. Now many problems have appeared, mostly frame-related. So this weekend I ordered a new frame. From 26" to 28" now. Actually with same hubs (both electric hub and rear Nexus-3). And the frame that I found was the Cube Kathmandu, with...

    Run motor with hobby BLDC-controller

    I think it's mostly the kv (the high RPM) that makes it so powerful, and the controllers might be that small because they are optimized on a small range of use (70-100% pwm duty cycle only as one example), and also like you say, more exponsive, and also engineered to be light/small. There are...

    Nice, that looks like the same yes, and their S-LCD3 looked like the same also :) https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-kit/546-s06s-250w-torque-simulation-sine-wave-controller-ebike-kit.html Yes I should have asked first, thought it should be a simple matter to just order a new one and go on. But now I...

    Run motor with hobby BLDC-controller

    Today I had to do some advanced fault finding. And since I haven't got my diagnostic unit yet I had to improvise a little. Only to see if it was the motor or the controller that didn't work. So.... as a R/C flyer I thought on of these BLDC-controllers should work as well. So I just took my...

    Kunteng Electronics

    I recently bought a cheap Alibaba-kit from Leili Motors, but the electronics is from another company, Kunteng, like I just have found out. Today I fried my controller, a KT-LCD3 display (see photo). It displays error message "06 Info". That means short circuit. Most likely the output circuit is...

    Hello from Sweden

    ohh, that explains why the washer had to be removed and turned 180 degree to get the wheel on like this. Hmm, bad news :( I have fixed the wheel so good now so I don't feel like loosen it right now. Put some electrical tape there to prevent water intake. Hope it will do for a while.

    BMS /w Fuel Gauge wiring

    Yes!! Finally done with everything (had to fix a problem with the motor wheel also). I managed to route the sensor wires behind the BMS so I gained a few mm so the sense connector actually went in full! Also some melt glue to secure. The switch is positioned in the hole for the fuse holder...
