The gear change sensor that is available for newer bbsxx models Does anyone know if it is compatible with gear hubs like an alfine 8 ? Or just deraileurs ? Cheers

A complete build I expect about 50

Sorry but, if I read flecc post correctly then he can have what he wants, a 250w road legal bike with a throttle. He just needs to covert not purchase off the peg. This is allowed by lack of any law to contrary rather than an explicitly allowed ...i have a horrible suspicion I've missed...

Hmm, it's tricky one. Without knowing anything about your bike, terrain, distance , your weight /height, your budget etc it's very difficult For new with warranty you'll struggle to beat the Woosh bikes GSM mid drive kit for value (imho). If it fits your bike . It was 250 quid when I bought...

Agreed , my commute is only 25km which I do daily my very good mate does 48km daily. He has a charge plug 5 steel hybrid with bbso1 250w legal conversion. However he has increased the assist speed In the settings so it cuts out somewhat higher than 25kph. So it is perfectly doable

May I ask. the size? Only. the link won't work on. my phone for some reason My brother has quite small ones for use in his campervan business

These Boston cells sound so good. Too good to almost Battery announcements and claims have made me very cynical in. my old age !

Great read Nealh, next time I need a battery I'm so going for a visit too, Can't tell you how happy it makes me to see your love and work on that swizzbee!

What amp charge rate have you got it set at ? And what psu ? Try lowerering the amp charge rate to 0.5a , if that works go incremental increases

Last chance before it goes for recycling ! Free working battery (albeit EOL)

I work with a lot of ex coppers. Little they can do unless you let them breathalyze you. I also did the hammered cycle once about 4 years back. Fell off and did about 250 quid worth of damage to my bike. In a flat park with no people or obstacles for miles I have self imposed 2 pint limit now

Daft from your perspective maybe From mine, with 4 kids under 7 and limited funds, it was vastly cheaper and simpler to install. Far less consumption of two resources that I have precious little of - time and money

In my mind (and im no engineer) the difference is the you set chain tension with horizontal drops. Once done real world influences such as chain stretch , big bumps and rattles of actual cycling can only mean increased chances of. the chain jumping off/slip. Riding can only in the setup...

Battery can now be taken for free Though a small donation to charity appreciated Cheers

I just realised this bike probably uses a brushed motor.... That's an issue when it comes to spare parts as it's old tech tbh , hard to find controllers etc

You might find a friendly, local pedelec member with skills to help you Or the forum may well me able to help you diagnose and repair. The trick is to provide as much information as possible along with photos And you'll need a multimeter (cheaply available from Halfords or maplins or very...

My 15 mile round trip commute is flat and on seafront. I cuse between 5ah and 10ah depending totally on wind direction and strength. Huge difference for so few miles !

A decent reliable mini hub would be great. Tongxin to fragile, keyde seem also unreliable and expensive, the mini crank from gng is untested and stupidly pricey There are the cute motors and , from memory, either the q75 or 85 is only 1.6kg but still bafang know how and reliability (usually)...

Excellent, thanks Nealh

Thanks Steve, some great tips and ideas :)
