only joking :D

Is it me, or does there seem to be a huge influx of sellers advertising their wares in nearly every post that I read? I've only been a member of this forum for a year or so, but it appears that even a seemingly simple posting, can turn into a free for all for sellers to promote their goods...

I think you'll find that members of this forum who build their own bikes, whether legal or not, tip to the side of being pretty sensible people. I doubt that it is in their minds to be reckless on a bike, no matter what speed it goes. It's the idiots that are riding round on stolen mopeds, and...

It's got to go to me to create my new hybrid, the Panamatic. Half Cyclamatic, half Panasonic, the vision of the future... Specs: - 600v 1000Ah battery - 200 Mph+ - Distance on full charge, Land's End to John o' Groats - Superglue tyres allow you to climb buildings vertically, for easy...

Sportshq are normally pretty good, although an e-mail to see how things are progressing wouldn't hurt.

I did have to send the battery back a couple of times under warranty. In hindsight, they probably only repaired what I do to the battery every now and then, so it was quicker to repair it myself than wait for a warranty repair. The position of the battery vertically above the crank, means it...

Sorry, I meant the non powered bikes :o Didn't look at the ebikes. Do the hardtail bikes have good components for the money, or are they just another Halfords wannabe.... Sorry Halfords :eek:

Could someone please take a butchers at the bikes on this site, and give an opinion if they are good value for money :) Bikes - buy a new bike at your online shop bikester.co.uk

Can anyone point me in the direction of a full suspension bike, where the rear suspension doesn't intrude into the frame triangle, please?

I see where you are coming from NRG, taking things apart and soldering isn't for everyone, and the fuse container actually has 'fuse' written on it :D My guide does help with a few stumbling points, such as controller access and removal. Also, if the 3 screws on the side of the casing aren't...

I couldn't help tinkering with the Cyclamatic again and think I have taken the controller mod as far as I can go. That is without blowing something up :eek: I do believe the battery contains Headway cells, although like a lot of Chinese products, might be copies. Therefore the battery should be...

I was after a more powerful soldering iron than the 25w mains powered one i've been using. Unfortunately it's pretty useless when soldering large connections. Spotted this on eBay and bought one: ANTEX GASCAT 60W SOLDERING IRON KIT KXB04B0 - BRAND NEW | eBay UK For £26.99 with free postage...

Wouldn't let me post this in the technical section, which is where it belongs???

Here is a walkthrough on how to carry out the Cyclamatic controller mod. Please excuse the poor quality pictures. I only had my 2MP phone to hand. 1) Here is where you access the compartment containing the controller. Undo the 4 screws and remove the plastic cover. 2) This is what it looks...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but not a chance in hell of fitting that 15Ah Ping in the casing. Doubt if the 10Ah will fit either. I've had the case open on numerous occasions and it's incredibly tight in there width and depth ways, although there is some room in the length/height dimension. I...

I would stick with buying another Cyclamatic battery. Two reasons: 1) Keeps the aestetic look of the bike. Otherwise you'll probably have to stick the Ping on a rear rack, then you'll have a gap where the original battery was. It'll look ghastly. 2) I believe that the overall working voltage of...

I'll give it a go, but will probably take a couple of days to sort out pics. Might be a bit amateurish, until I get a grip with posting pics and text together :D

Is there any way that the moderators can taylor the site, so that notification of a PM is highlighted more clearly when a member logs in? I feel that communication with members on a personal level is slow, because half the time they don't know a new message is there.

Someone mentioned recently that Ping batteries (LiFePO4) are prone to catching fire. I was under the impression that LiFePO4 was very safe :confused: I have read a couple of posts on Endless Sphere that their packs ballooned, but did not burst into flames. Are the scaremongers out again, or...

Are Ping batteries notorious for bursting into flames??? :eek:
