There is another thread where we chatted about related issues here http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/looking-for-a-really-comfortable-saddle.21802/

I have different problems with my nerves and one of these helped me a lot http://www.selleroyal.com/en/comfort they're all available at Amazon (I know we should support our LBSs but this is a medical problem and you need to feel free to ruthlessly try things out from the maximum choice and...

Is there a way of testing my wires to see that this hasn't happened? I've a feeling my motors have been running sensorless for this reason. When I did my first build I twisted my wires all over the place, trying to get them to fit in the tiny controller box.

BMS at first ignored or forgot about my request for help over a KU93 controller which didn't work properly, however, when I asked again they sent another one with my next order. The order (as with all my orders with them) they sought an extra $15 or $25 postage for after a few days, even though...

I'd also point out that a person can get used rims on Gumtree from about £1, if required...they haven't yet caught up with the eBay thing of charging new prices for old.

My bike shop builds, they say, loads of motor wheels and seem pretty expert. They did the build for £25. It was a stunning build, interlaced like a piece of knotwork, and includes re-dishing adjustment, and re-tightening when it gets loose after 100 miles (which it hasn't). They wanted £12 more...

I would definitely say including a rim or spokes is a mistake because a UK wheelbuilder will do an amazing and guaranteed job for £40 including spokes,calculating the necessary length of which is itself a proper skill which my Chinese supplier got very wrong. The extra cost of the parts and...

Happy birthday! [emoji512] [emoji481]

Can anyone please advise me on the safety of this stuff? I tend to be quite sensitive to breathing in chemicals, it physically irritates me &c, and I'd be keeping my bike in my flat right next to where I sleep. The corrosionx blurb says it's only 4-7% VOCs compared with 75% for WD40 and it...

I don't know if you've had a look at this site www.electricbicyclenetwork.com/hiring

Yes let's hope london proves a fruitful testbed. I must say that it looks like just a lick of paint on the top photo (or coloured tarmac). Mightnt cost a fortune when surface next due for renewal. The below photo just shows how not to do it. Real stupidity.

Love the way even the sun is shining in the top photo. Photo David Hembrow (cycling infrastructure maven).

If you do 'A' then you'll lose support from Ciclotek? You don't have to replace the controller, you could just get the higher capacity one without the posh integrated controller, making it more affordable. I don't have experience of selling batteries but it's worth finding out if Ciclotek will...

Yes it is wrong on weight but right on lighting I think. I mentioned the weight rules might have changed already but edited that out by accident.

Hang on a sec :) If the tricyclists who ply their trade around central London don't have insurance etc then maybe they don't need to. (EDIT - they do!) I don't see why a 250w high torque build would require approval if they don't. (EDIT - they may do, see below link to law - but it seems the...

I have a funny feeling there is no legal redress available and even if there were it would be confined to actual provable damage (and/or an injunction). I will say what a paralegal mate told me which is most solicitors will give a half hour of telephone advice on their own field for free (I...

This is my mum's helmet. We went cycling a week ago Thursday and she lost her balance at a slow speed and fell after a badger ran between her wheels and caused her bike to stop. She's 73 and fell on her side and head. Hard. If she hadn't been wearing the helmet she'd be dead. Her pelvis is...

Could be a market among farmers who have to do early morning rounds of their properties and not wake up people on the estate. But British people generally are so conservative, they mostly drive samey cars which are all grey or black or blue and invisible -this is the country which disapproved...

I bought this bag on eBay and then carefully cut and restitched it with some elastic strapping material http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231364830850
