His rim needs replacing, the spokes are stainless so easy to re-use. Just undo the nipples and remount as they are onto the new rims. May be worth buying new nipples but there is no need to buy a new set of spokes. I would use sellotape to hold the old spokes as they are, saving a bit of time...

I think your torque sensor is a very good idea. Can the electronics be entirely built into the motor lid? If that can be done, sell it to the aftermarket.

How is it going with your torque sensor inside the wheel? Any idea when I can buy a sample?

that's a good idea.

how about torque sensor + throttle for those steep hills?

The difference in cost between a hub kit and a crank drive kit is getting smaller, in some cases, to be less than £50. When you consider the greater flexibility of torque delivery of crank drives, the better centre of gravity and the time saving on installation, the £50 difference is well...

That happens often. You have to get them to confirm that you want double wall, 18mm wide, 36 holes, 349. Otherwise, they don't know exactly what you need. 16in for them is 305 rims, 22mm wide.

Yes, it should be OK. Spokes: you can reuse the old spokes. If you need a few more, ask Andy.

Brompton tyres are 37-349. You need a 36H-349 rim. I sold some spare rims in the last couple of years because nobody has them, now I am left with motors without rims. I am reordering them now.

I am moving toward selling parts, commencing with motors and batteries. For small parts, there is the long queue at the post office. I go there at 3pm. If I am lucky, the machines are accessible. If not, I have to queue for 30-40 minutes with people who need a driver licence or passport. Then...

Thank you for your understanding. Although the cartons don't need to have made in xxxx to comply when sold within the EU, if the bike is exported to the UK, the cartons must be conform to UKCA and marking rules on cartons, and carry a clear indication of country of origin. Cartons without...

Bikes from EU cone to the UK by roads, usually handled by European couriers such as DPD, FEDEX, TNT etc. You fill in the paperwork online. It takes very little time and nobody checks if you misdeclare that your goods are made from Poland and not China. If you want to further reduce the 2% risk...

I think the problem is that practically nobody noticed anything wrong with buying stuff from EU websites. How the goods is delivered is not their concern. If the websites owners cheat, they are simply not aware of that. The problem is this year is particularly tough for all UK electric bikes...

The rules of origin apply equally to me and to EU sellers. If I export one of my bikes, I have to declare to the authorities where the bike is made. If 50% or more of the contents of the bike is made in the UK or the EU, I can enter made in the UK. Otherwise, I have to declare made in China...

9-speed is more useful on a bike with torque sensor and crank motors.

Her £300 Angel weighs unfortunately 29kgs.

Conversion kits need to be compatible with a large range of cassettes. for ready made bikes, I usually put 8 speed 11T-32T on my bikes with hub motors, 9-speed with crank motors. Bikes with 7-speed tend to have screw on freewheels. If you look closely, you can see that the rear sprockets on the...

The woman I told the story about simply didn't have space inside her small terrace council house to keep her bike inside. There was no communal bike shed outside. Her only solution was to throw a bag over it. She didn't have a bag so Hatti brought her one. You can understand why I keep bags, my...

What do you mean? Both the XF08C and DWG2NC take standard 8,9,10 cassettes. 7 speed cassette needs a 2mm spacer.
