Of course 18650 batteries have vents for gas buildup so I don't think those could be waterproofed but maybe the top/bottom contacts and bms (?)

I wonder if it would be good for ebike controllers,bms, throttles, and lcd innards. Curious how it might be used in relation to batteries.

Do you mean prepare to kill them if that is required to defend yourself? I am not sure if this approach really 'scales up ' in the scheme of things. Afaic the only permissible reason to harm someone is to stop them imminently harming someone else. So either you say that your violent...

I've just spent a while reading the times comments and they are barbaric. I don't care if one person upsets another, it's not an excuse for assault. It's even less an excuse that someone entirely different (eg a cyclist the day before,or cyclists generally) upset the violent person. Victim...

Yes the video is impressive, do you know of a cheap source you can recommend? Also does it wreck your clothes and drip on things / otherwise get messy?

Yes the one I bought is this (link is in purple letters, is hard for me to see on a desktop). but note that particular one is from the 'relaxed' range, for Dutch upright bikes with a sit-up-straight position. The other pedelecer I spoke to was using one from the 'moderate' range, with a...

Edit -frame length could be a difference.

My insurance policy from cycleguard covers me for periods with the bike locked to a towbar fitted bike rack in case that's any use. Although I'm not sure for how many hours, and it's got to be the type which itself locks to the car (NB also 20% excess for bikes over £500,possible water ingress...

Now I'm not 100% sure about this but I'm not aware of any physical difference between a large frame bike and a smaller one with a raised seatpost, other than that the former can't be shrunk, whereas the latter can be expanded (raised). I gather (though check?) the cranks tend to be the same...

When I see a £600 bike being sold for 3 times that I feel quite angry. I think of people who don't know the market and spend precious savings, perhaps retired people,for something which is for their purposes effing useless.

My thought is it might be good to practice lifting different bikes at halfords or somewhere because from my own experience and reading others', weight could be an issue. If it's a micro camper, is it easy to get a bike in or is it like an ordinary raised boot? The latter can exacerbate weight...

Thank you - very useful. Does the fuse need to be on the positive or negative wire? Can you recommend any type of silicone? Also do you know what is the best way of waterproofing the switch? It's this light...

Thank you - appreciated. Will ordinary shrink tube be enough to watertight the wire joins, or do I need adhesive shrink tube, or something else? And is it ok to solder the light wire to the battery wire just so?

If I run wiring from my battery for one of the banggood bright lights, what thickness does it need to be? I've some thin wire from an expired 810 LED display, is that good enough or does it require more insulation just in case it gets scraped and is exposed to moisture? What kind of and rating...

I discovered that one of these cured my major posterior pain when cycling. A fellow pedelecer verifies it worked for him also. They have a channel down the middle so the bits with the nerves aren't compressed. Whereas it was torture to cycle before it's now not an issue. This kinda thing but...

Oh dear, very sorry to hear -get well soon.

I've just bought mine, they're normally about £150 for the CA v3 DPS and the shunt, shipped (or more if buying direct from Grin Tech and paying customs etc), selling for £120 + £6 postage. They've got two left. http://alienpowersystem.com/shop/cycle-analyst/cycle-analyst-ca3-dps-with-shunt/

Wow,who quoted you that?

I know this is like two years on or so but how does the underside get waterproofed that way? It looks like there's a gap. I'd worry about cycling through a puddle and getting upwards splash. Just received my 4oz PU waterproof nylon 1m x 1.5m from ebay, time to get stitching. It's a really...

I think my rating is indistinguishable from background static. But yeah nice idea anyway!
