The size Tweeks are selling is basically 37x622 (your current tyres are 40x622). They also come in a 42x622 (i.e. 700x42) if you can find them for sale here and your bike has clearance. But essentially, if your rims will take a 40x622 you should have no trouble fitting a 37x622. Here's...

For just a speedo a very simple one works fine. When I was testing effect of derestricting Impulse using the service unit I just fitted a wired front wheel speedo from here to compare whilst riding : Inner Handheld Gps | Gps For Walking, Cycling And Mountain Biking | Sports Watches And Sports...

Can anyone please help with some questions on replacing a rechargeable SLA lawnmower battery which drives the electric start mechanism of an autodrive petrol mower ? I've got an older Hayter Harrier 481A Autodrive E/S 2800RPM mower http://www.hayter.co.uk/handbook_files/480179%20(B).pdf The...

I can come some way towards you in that the specs are better than some at that price point, but the Bosch on the Macina Cross has the small 8Ah battery so that knocks a bit off the share of SP attributed. As regards the cheapest adult bike in the range being £450, the Life-One is under £400 for...

Great to watch - but couldn't help thinking - what's wrong with a good old fashioned pedalo !

That's the key thing really. It's a fallacy to think that these systems make steep climbing essentially 'effortless' or even a breeze for people who are not conditioned cyclists with a good level of fitness. If I don't cycle for a week say and then take the 250W crank drive bike up long steep...

That bracket is a nice touch and looks nice and sturdy as well as being neat and central. I just took the easy way out with this one and used one of torchy's swivelmounts. Swivel mount for Magicshine / Inton / Fluxient / Starlight etc bike lights | eBay ... the o-ring things they supply are...

^^ I agree with John the Marathon Plus Tour are nice and I run them from Spring to Autumn on ye olde Kalkhoffy. But for Winter I wound up fitting these last year and they stayed on for about 3-4 months. It was a mild Winter with virtually no ice problems for me but they were much better than...

^^ fit some big tyres on the smaller wheel and you've got yourself back full circle to a 29er :p So can I have a thousand Euro discount please ? :o

Surely you can just open the casing and apply some instant gasket to form a seal and also seal the screw holes ? I did this on my Cycle Analyst following their instructions (Page 20 here http://www.ebikes.ca/drainbrain/CycleAnalyst_Manual_Vers22.pdf ) when I couldn't be bothered to go out...

As above, you can fit an MJ-818 direct to a carrier by removing the backplate and using one of the carrier mounting holes. It is very effective and has a range of flash/constant settings : Magicshine MJ-818 Cycle rear Bike light + Y splitter cable for MJ 808 872 816 | eBay Most people run one...

That's the exact same one I bought - same supplier. Works fine with 36V battery and I'm also running same controller plus all those extra things tapped off it.

Which one do you have at the moment ? These are cheap as chips, robustly constructed and very good : Smart Lunar R2 Rear Led Bike Cycle Bicycle Light - 2 x 1/2 Watt Led's New Boxed | eBay If you want to splash out on the best there is then this one is probably top of the tree, but you need...

^^ I bet if you got a Vivax with a saddlebag battery no-one would ever know. It's not as if you need a huge range after all ;) Having to get the blooming thing serviced every year is a bit of a logistical impediment though !

The thing is KTM entry level eBikes are very basic bikes with most of the cost attributable to a (typically) Bosch/Panasonic/BionX drive and battery (I'd hazard about £1,300 - £1,400 of that) - which are generic standard OEM components fitted to hundreds of types of bike. So basically you are...

I get over 1100W+ on a strenuous climb and the same when setting off so no issues with sluggish hill starts etc. The extra power mainly affects speed more than (or perhaps in addition to) ease of climbing I think but also gives very good hill starts which helps around here especially if you get...

Oh dear ! :o

That sounds a very easy solution - a bit of a 'no brainer' for people using that particular throttle on a simple setup. Does it act as a master power isolator and allow the battery to be left connected to the controller without latent power drain as well ?

It's funny I was reading back over some of this thread the other day. I'd forgotten what a complete baptism of fire it all was and in retrospect how over-ambitious it was as a first build. Definitely a case of ignorance is bliss. I really had reached near-breaking at this point lol - was just...

As d8veh says you can just cut off the phase bullet connectors and splice the wires together. Much easier than soldering on to PCB. I'm not sure on the button but it seems a good idea to use it as a throttle signal interruptor. I guess you'd need to splice the throttle wires over it somehow if...
