don''t worry about spokes not long / short enough for the amount of dishing you'll need to make the wheel central. We are talking about 2-3mm here. Just fit the wheel first, use washers to bring the wheel as near to central as you can. Then post another picture of the wheel in the bike for us...

Ask Andy @ Woosh. Also, check the size of the bolts on the rear brakes. They should also fit the front bosses.

I have no idea whom the fat bikes would suit but would not have thought that they make good commuting bikes. It's kind of a step backward on handling, comfort, energy efficiency, carrying ability for the sake of looking different. What are these big tyres for? sandy beaches?

clip on cover that is permanently glued to the body. It's not a serviceable part. You can try aralditing the cable to the plastic casing.

yes, it would do the same job and much kinder to the battery too. No load, you may have to leave it running for 6-8 hours though even at full throttle. The motor will stop when the battery is totally flat. The controller's LVC should protect your battery against 100% discharge.

There is no danger that the battery causes problems for the frame. you should search the forum for d8veh's posts about mounting the frog batteries. With a little re-inforcing, it should work well for many years. D8veh may have already done this for you before sending you his casing. Slowly...

A 36V 10AH battery should do 30 miles if you are moderately fit. Typically, your battery capacity drops a little with each charging cycle. You have done about 170 cycles out of 500, a drop in capacity is expected, so don't jump to any conclusion just yet, let's make sure that your problem is not...

For the developers, it's free advertising if they fail, cheap capital (kickstarter takes only 5% commission compared to typically 7% for one year bonds) if they succeed. What is in it for the backers? not much other than the satisfaction of seeing progress being made. if you check the...

may be you should meet Bob half way. Batteries do suffer a great deal on bumpy roads, made worse when it's not in use regulary. Long gaps between ride create unbalance between the cells. Did you buy just the battery or the whole bike from Bob?

it's not a con. It's the most respected of the crowd funding sources. You back a project because you want it succeed, it's not an alternative to buy something on the cheap. The gear that you may receive may not be the commercial production. There is no guarantee that you'll get your money back...

those bakfiet are cute but children grow up quickly, what seems to be ideal today may not be next year. A trailer or a child seat can easily be detached when you want to have some fun on your own.

something like this £849 bike? http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?krieger 20A motor, 15AH battery, easy to install childseat and trailer. Strong hill climbers.

are you sure? the charger is rarely the cause of BMS failures. The BMS should cut off the charging current when the cells reach its set voltage (4.1V).

you see the silver allen bolts on the brake arms in the picture below? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replacement-Bike-cantilever-or-v-brake-boss-attaching-bolts-/180722015515 You can fit something like this £9 Shimano V-brake which comes with the bolts, no need to buy anything else. One thing to...

Your lbs is not much good, the top gun fork already has bosses brazed on, just needs some boss bolts. They cost about 30p each.

this sensor must be fitted to the chain side to work.

I like your choice to preserve the look of the bike. How do you feel about leaving your £350 battery on the bike? it cannot be locked to the frame.

the rules are simple: inside EU: VAT is charged at sellers' country's rate (unless you are registered for VAT), outside the EU: up to £40, it's up the the courier, usually free. About £40: VAT and import duty are owed, +£10 admin fees. Duty rate for bike kits is around 5%.

You can try. Emal andy@wooshbikes.co.uk a picture of the old pedelec sensor and the connector, he'll find you one that would fit.

can you post a picture? usually, black to black (0V), blue to yellow and brown to red but a picture would help to confirm it.
