    For full disclosure I should have said it was 100% my friend being a bloody idiot. Poor innocent car driver So you do have a point of course......but I don't think many people would see what I saw and think , you know what, that graph or report there says different to my own eyes. I'll go with...

    Inside the HL Downtube Battery

    Personally I'd try Jimmy at bga reworking or also Darren at Brighton ebikes. Jimmy builds all sorts and Darren uses HL on most of his kits I think. He might have an old case knocking about

    Today my Helmet has saved me a Headache

    Glad you are ok. Could have been much worse I also wear a helmet . Always. I'm convinced I'd be a dead man from at least one of two major crashes in the past. I wear snowboard in winter (I'm a baldy!) And a Bern peaked commuter in summer It was sixsixone mtb that saved me (imho)

    Winter gloves

    I use silk undergloves, meant for skiing then nitrile disposable* , then either crab or full finger aldi winter gloves. The nitrile are for perfect waterproofing as the gloves ain't (though advertised as such) *i always have tons of these due an immune disorder, get through about 20 pairs a day !

    Reverse shunt mod ?

    Cheers Neal , what I wasn't sure of was wether 25% of thickness of shunt needed removing along whole length.....or wether a single nick cutting in about 25 % would do it Sadly this is a very basic no hall controller with a basic led panel

    Reverse shunt mod ?

    Hi Just replaced a 48v 350w controller with a 500w 48v one It's pulling too many amps for my battery. 25a vs my battery 20a continuous I've searched on how to reverse shunt mod but no luck. Plenty on increasing amps by soldering it. Is is just a case of filing it down by about 25% Or...

    Have a blown this controller ?

    On my commute I suddenly lost power. Well so be precise my led panel stayed on but with one flashing light. This means empty but I was only 2 miles in I assumed either I had a knackered lipo booster pack or accidnetly picked up one that wasn't charged But both batteries are fine I thought I...
