Many thanks for the offer. My hot melt seems to be holding well since the holder is glued to frame. Someone else might be in more need.

p.s. I google searched and looked up my maplins catalogue for another 'kettle' plug- to replace it, but with no result. Maybe I have the wrong name for this connector

They are the kettle type plug for the battery. The pins are big and strong, but the plastic holding them together is quite thin and only about 12mm wide. There is a countersunk screw holding it on between the pins, and its dia. is about 6mm. If you start the battery on the holder and push...

Yes I broke the plastic bracket holding the locating pins about 2 months after purchase. It is fragile because the screw hole between the pins, holding it to the frame leaves very little plastic to the edges. I just glued it together, and to the frame with hot melt glue, and that was 14...

The only thing i notice in the specs. is the battery is rated 5 ah. The orginal at £399 had a 8.5 ah.

No i didn't change the chain until two months after. I suppose after about 300 miles it could not bed in together.

Lucky you were not going at speed in traffic. The outcome could have been very dangerous. :eek: I have always been a bit cautious of the 11T gear when riding, and adjusted the derailleur just that bit further inboard. The rest of the gears were fairly quiet, but 11T was grindey. I noticed when...

The gears were checked and cleaned. Cleaned away the crud between chainring and protector no better. I think the problem is the new chain with old (only 2 months) DNP. It did not look great new. Will send off for new one. The new 3/32 and 11/128 both slipped.

Put 9 speed chain on today and guess what still slipping in 3/4/5 gears, and the gears change up and down perfectly.. Derailleur is straight on gears. Range setting is fine. Tried angling the rear wheel to right and then left a bit - no difference. Derailleur a thumb gap through to nice and...

I like the twist shifter for ease of use. Could not miss out on a lovely day so put the old chain back on and had a 34mile run along Strangford Lough. Tomorrow looks like yuk again.

Its derailleur.

Many thanks d8veh. The derailleur adjustments are good. I have measured the chain width, and its a fraction wider. On back rotation they are just gripping ever so slightly in 4th and 5th. These middles gears are slightly closer together than the rest. I will get a narrower 9 speed chain and try.

Fitted a DNP 7 speed freewheel 11-32T about two months ago. Must admit some of the teeth looked like they had been cut with an anglegrinder. But fitted anyway with 7 speed nexus twist shift. Everything O.K. 11T gear was grindy no matter what the adjustment. But from previous forum searches...

Can only fit to the front forks. Agreed instructions are not brilliant. I have 2" big apple tyres on mine which makes it a little bit bigger in circumference - yours measurement sounds about right.

Thanks, I thought it was just me.:rolleyes:

Having a problem embedding a video link with U-Tube. Copy and pasted with both media and link. When the post is submitted nothing appears with either. Embedded this link in another forum to check everything was O.K., and it worked fine.

Smashing - sun shone all day over Rathlin Island. Not a long cycle, but a very steep one.

The motor on mine is marked BFSWX - dont know if thats the same. The crainring is 48T. I fitted the DNP 11T - 7 Speed, and it makes a fair improvment. Was thinking of 52T Chainring, but they look quite expensive.

I fitted the Tesco wired one about a year ago. Thought the magnets in the front motor might upset the readings. Checked mine with Garmin 78s Gps from the boat, and it seems pretty accurate. Easy to install. Just measure circumference of wheel and input. Magnet screws onto spoke opposite...

Hi and welcome - good luck with your new e-bike. Mine is the same, except it has Tesco plastered all over it. I posted a few pics of my rack and panniers - see "Viking e-go" thread earlier.
