Only ever had that happen once - when I left my hardtail next to the radiator after a long ride in freezing conditions. 30ims later - bang! Inner tube pressure rose to breaking point with heat That was quite an extreme temperature difference mind Still if you are running tyres at very high...

Hi there, not sure how alien ocean battery/chargers work exactly But if it is charging the battery ok then no big issue is there ? Could it be getting hot and taking longer because it is balancing the cells? My 8fun 42v charger always gets pretty darn warm. Always has and never been an issue...

I'm struggling with the site TBH But I think it's 30amp which , at 36v is just over 1kw. That would fry a 250w motor I would have thought

If anyone can compare effect on motor of a sine wave controller vs a normal one when overvolting a motor I'd been very keen to hear about it By which I mean , for example, running a 36v controller at 44v I wonder if the smoother/quieter effects are retained ?

Sports dIrect have them as well. Same price from memory.....

Thanks all I also found this brand - also just state-side it seems. They do a small , med and large. Good reviews and cheap I think the medium will suffice but will need to sketch out as suggested to be sure Amazon.com: Ibera Bicycle Triangle Frame Bag(Large): Sports & Outdoors At...

thanks D8veh - thats helpful. There are now on mark 2 at 78USD so about £53 so a wee bit more expensive However they are MASSIVE - take up entire triangle which does seem an overkill for 4 lipo bricks which are 15cm x 5cm x 5cm Still is def a backup option perhaps I need to contruct my...

Hi Having failed to find a 10.4ah bottle battery with Samsung cells in the uk (kudos were expecting some in July shipment but didn't turn up) I am def going lipo. I don't want to give up having battery in frame and intend to go 4 x 22.2v 5ah bricks. Hobbyking sells simple harnesses too Where...

D8veh, really? Wow - that 18quid chain can do that ? Seems to cheap to be true Perhaps an expensive d lock was a mistake then as I've seen them opened with carjacks on youtube

Welcome What "cheapo" bike did you get ?

That's a lot of kilos of security ! You missed alarm or two though :) Like this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=390620154725 Seriously though Ive never seen any bike locked up that securely ! Might even attract attention possibly ? You could be better off with a little...

You sound a wee bit unsure ! I was in the same boat a few months ago and was walked through repairing my battery by kind folk here- I also didn't own a meter when I started out either :) I just thought - if it's out of warranty and doesn't work then I've nothing to lose anyway

Love the gas mask front on the first and the all white one especially

To be fair they could not be any clearer about the totally illegal for the road and the borderline insane nature of the bikes ! I do wonder how big the market for them is though ? I just imagine a large percentage f folk interested in owning something this crazy powerful would be self builders ?

Sorry yes, it won't be 42v for you then

Scary stuff ! Fun though no doubt But i can't help but wonder if you could even get 10 flat miles out of a 10ah 48v battery when running 2kw.......

That's right - 42v is the charge voltage for a 36v battery

Reduced range is one sign for sure Worth checking it's not a charger fault to start with - just to have ticked that box If you have a multimeter check the charger is outputting 42v

Ok gentlemen - let's settle this Turnaround , take ten paces, then draw and..... Show your working ! :)

2 ) plastic bag ? 3) hmm for snow and ice there is no non-knobbly tire that will cut it. However, touring tires are a decent mix of puncture proof, grip and fast roll. My preferred as Continental Travel Contacts. 4 ) anything gore-tex. I like Gore bike wear Path jacket an you can find their...
