    BBSHD for Specialized crosstrail sport disc

    I got my BBS02 750W from BTN in China, good service there, remember FedEx etc will charge £30 or so. for Battery it`s 52v for the HD, i`d go to Insat in London for that, you can be sure of premium cells there.

    BBS02 Tuning for Muppets....Dillenger Switcheroonie.

    It`s far from being the finished article, i posted this on ES, "The real killer version of this would be one that's hard wired into the existing wiring loom. The ability to switch from an `off road/no limit` mode to a fully legal country specific setup with a couple of button presses would be...

    Sprocket and speed advice

    Exactly what i had to do when fitting the Alfine 8, chain tensioner needed as i have vertical dropouts, about £15 or so. Also changed the sprocket from 20t to 18t as it was maxxing out at 20mph, may go 16t, see how it deals with the hills.

    BBS02 750w conversion

    It`s early days yet, won`t know until after a few hundred miles. One or two on EndlessSphere have a few thousand on theirs, i reckon if you don`t beat on it you can get away with decent service. If you have to stop suddenly or caught out at a junction just clik clik clik and your off in the...

    Anything wrong with this Battery?

    I`m almost sure this had four green led`s after charging, now three green one red! It`s a 13aH bottle/shark type. Anyone with anything similar to check? Is that normal? Having said all that memory isn't as sharp as it was!

    Gear hub for Bafang bbs01 mid drive kit

    Ordered a 26" yesterday as well... couple of questions - how do you tension the chain, i can`t pull the rear wheel back, don't have horizontal dropouts. Is there a sprocket option, isn`t your gearing going to be totally different? Hopefully it takes the 6 hole Disc mounts? Did you receive...
