OK - guess I will have to wait on the washers ... just trying to get everything I need if I can to avoid as many (unavoidable) 4-day bits & bobs e-bay purchase waits, just when I'm all fired up to get on the trail :rolleyes: :) That's helpful - something else I could get in ready. Rim size...

Thx jerrysimon / Jeremy. I guess if you never try you never learn... and it could get quite theraputic if you got into the right mindset ! Thx ! ... Just had a brief skim though that - am I right in thinking a semi-tangent cross 3 pattern is the best for hub brakes and CST combo ? The tools...

Just a thought - having seen the shipping prices for orders maybe if someone on the forum is next ordering from China they could add in a new controller for you and distribute on receipt. The shipping cost on single items seems very high pro-rata to the marginal weight on a larger order - and...

Glad you love your Agattu :cool: and nice to read this. The handlebars are very adjustable for angle and I think the setup may have had something to do with the feeling on the "hill road" ... but it's also partly the upright riding position means you adjust your body position a little...

Still wavering on whether to try building a wheel with a CST and 13G spokes. Basically, having replaced the broken spokes on my other regular wheels I now have a better idea of how things fit together in principle at least. Am I right in thinking that : 1) You feed through all the spokes...

Is there a way to message through PayPal once transaction is complete ? I had same and tried to find a message functionality without success. Wound up e-mailing all the 3 addresses on the PayPal transaction confirmation quoting PayPal transaction ref in hope one of them gets through. They do say...

OK I'll get on it after I've practiced the soldering a bit and my skills are up to it (i.e. after the solder arrives and I've faffed about with some old flex lying about ... bound to be at least one defunkt soup maker in the 'gadgets which worked for a week' pile I can cut some wires off. :)

Really sorry to hear this. Absolutely gutting. Whereabouts in the country are you ? There was a spate of thefts up in Gloucestershire a few months ago mainly off-road and DH bikes. In most cases the common factor is that people had been riding at a particular popular spot the day of the...

OK ... I have the soldering station but am waiting for some proper solder ordered off e-bay (100g of 60/40 22swg 0.7mm) which I hope is the right thing for jobs ahead. Old_Dave, is this the one you got ? Soldering Station with Adjustable Heat Range with EU plug I still have time to...

Thanks - I've ordered one to collect in-store. Do I need to buy solder also and will this be good enough to work with controllers etc too ?

Thanks !!! We're on a roll ... I've unscrewed it (had just become seized having been out in the cold but wiggled it loose). Have pulled back the PCB and I can see the soldering points. So next step .... I've never soldered before. Will likely have some to do if I go ahead with the bike...

Unfortunately I can't rip this photo and upload but if you're on social media you can see it. Cracked me up .... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151267893891137&set=a.345170161136.152199.319149301136&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf

Are they any good, Eddie - and are they geared at bicycle application or a general household kit ? T-shaped hex/torx and stuff like that are useful on bikes but seem to be missing from a lot of basic kits. A lot of the Aldi / Lidl stuff is as good as a load of things you buy for 3 times the...

Yes - the clamp is off so the base of the unit is as per the pic earlier in the thread. The front of the light screws off in order to reveal the lens and cone inside. I took the lens and cone out and there is a small moulding which secures the rear of the light, filament, etc in the back of the...

Thanks for the comments ... been having a go today ... main problem is this bit : The wire is very difficult to push through as the exit hole from the housing is very small. The interior also seems to be prevented from wiggling out by a moulding on the inside of the housing so you can't get to...

Interesting - never saw that before - it's a clever idea actually, but I guess only viable in places like London with a big demand and lots of people with no space at home !

Got a wee issue on my 1000Lm light... The sheath on the cable which exits the light housing running to the connector has come away from the housing quite considerably. A roadside repair to the quick-release bracket I hadn't screwed in properly in very poor light is likely the culprit (:o)...

Pls excuse the basic question, but what sort of impact is powering this off say a 36V battery (20Ah) also used to power your bike's hub motor likely to have on : 1) The power available to relevant motor (assume 30A controller) in terms of its performance; and 2) The cumulative draw on the...

Thanks. Nice touch. Would be great if someone designed one of these that could be retrofitted without the hinge needing to be integrated with the crank unit. To allow clearances for opening and dropping down at the front, I guess you simply need to turn the wheel out of the way so provided the...

Is this likely to drain battery when rigged up but not switched on ? Sounds a no-brainer otherwise. What's the likely relative impact on battery range ?
