Ahh, do you mean yes I can cut metal loop. Or yes, it will break circuit if I do ?

Thanks Hatti !

It's a fairly standard looking metal circle with wire going to controller and a plastic disc with 5 magnets in it 2 questions for for those in k ow please 1) can I make my own replacement plastic disc (I have lots of small neo magnets from another project). Given my b bracket this will be...

Yes thanks , I tried everything including riding in case there was a low speed cutoff . 8fun confirm you need to hit the switch button on this system and use l/m/h assist settings for pedelec. However, no joy with this throttle :( Still Paul at 8 fun was very responsive and agreed to send new...

Oh dear , fitted everything but throttle not functioning , pedelec turns motor , dash board lights up, full battery lights . Only spun the pedelec sensor on the end of screwdriver to see if motor connections are ok- it turns so must be I think the throttle must be defective in some way?

Thanks pete - nice to hear of success ! Particularly as my bill just got bigger :( In the end I've needed a new fork, new 203mm rotor and adaptor - I'm WAY over budget but cautiously confident that's it . Turns out my caliper really sticks in towards the wheel hence even a 180mm rotor wouldn't...

Flecc is no doubt absolutly right in what he says but two possible alternative option occur (wether it is cost effective or not I've no idea) woosh bikes (Hatti whi is a forum member) posted a short time ago about assembling their batteris in UK. They use 8fun motors/controllers I believe...

Looks like ill end up with unused canti brake mounts on my new fork . They can't be removed What can I do with them ? Anyone know of any lights that mount this way Or anyone got any other ideas how to utilise ?

interesting stuff Frank - I've never heard of these nor had anyone reccomend them to me Do you have any personal experience of how they roll compared to the Schwalbe ? OR perform in terms of grip ? Only I find the grip on the M+ is not great on a wet road. Travel Contact much better and...

The toughest you can buy is a Schwalbe Marathon Plus although I like Continental Travel Contact as well. Both have about as good a punture protection as you can get (nothing is perfect mind!)

Really ? thanks Flecc - I'm fitting a 8fun kit that has a side entry wire. Any recomendations on how to better weatherproof ? bit of epoxy, sugru or other sealant ? thanks

If it were me I start withe batteries and work from there. Are they new batteries ? In any event can you/have you tested them after charging to see if they are functioning correctly (with an electricla test meter). If they are not holding charge then they are your issue. If they are holding...

Today's lesson for me has been one needs to remember that wheels with a six hex bolt method of attachment take up way more room/width than the centrelock kind. So I'll be needing a new rotor as well as a new fork. Hoping this is the end of the purchase list required .....update tomorrow once Lbs...

a not so quick trip around 4 x LBS confirmed what I always knew - 3 of them are worse than useless The other is excellent and recommended a Surly rigid fork that is both bombproof and wide enough to retain discs and calipers. It also has canti brake option only downside is Surly take a...

I should mention that my current fork is this one here On-One Pompetamine Cr-Mo Urban Fork If anyone is able to recomend a fork that will fit my bike AND the new hub then I'd be most grateful

Very sorry to disappoint there bazwaldo ! So conversion got off to a shocking start. The new motor hub will not fit I to the forks. They are 100mm wide at dropouts but narrow immediately. Forget room for calipers and disc rotor :( Photos of bike and fork issue attached Trip to lbs at...

Morning, my wife just rang me at work to say my 36v 250w 8fun front drive kit has just arrived :) I'll be fitting it to an On One Pompetamine I've read a few threads on this kit and seems each build/bike has its stumbling blocks. I thought I'd try to give something back to the forum by...

Hi Hatti Are they panasonic cells that you use in these packs plerase ? thanks Kirstin

cyclezee can probrably answer this for you but in case not. How much space do you currently have between tyre and mudguard ? And, as an aside, the link seems to say 24 x 2.35 ? but you'll need 26 inch for a forza (as per your title)

An that point flecc - STEPS was announced to much fanfare back in June 2010..........and then I've never heard so much as a whisper about it knowledage chap that you are - do you have any insights ? It sounded so promising (especially a battery with 8,000 charge cycles lifespan!)
