    Help! Intermittent power on GSM mid drive

    The power loss might be cooked windings, cooking demagnetises them thus the power reduction/loss. One would need to open the motor to check if the cooper windings are burnt. My two were heat issues both motors got very warm and one reason why they stopped making them. Woosh might be able to help ?

    Best front chain ring for top speed on 20inch bike

    BBSHD on a Tern :eek: . Did you not do your homework and see the 300+ posts on one of the forums about Terns failing, more so once an ekit was added.

    Help! Intermittent power on GSM mid drive

    Hold your hand on the motor next time it cuts out and see if it is warm tot he touch. You have done very well for 5 year usage.

    Help! Intermittent power on GSM mid drive

    The GSM had many a fault with heating issues so either controller or likely the windings got to hot and some thermal cutout/loss of performance, I suspect the issues are pretty much like the tsdz2 issues with heat. I had two GSM 5 years ago and both were crap reliability wise though good like...

    Battery advice

    This one is of the LG hg2 I use in my drinks bottle battery. The curve is very linear in decline but at approx. 3.2v it like most starts to decline more. If I have a spare battery on a run I will often stop discharge at about 3.5v and change battery but I know I have some reserve to use if...

    Battery advice

    Deep discharge is down to 3v - 2.5v per cell group, though depending on the cell it may start a bit higher. Do the homework on the cell used in your battery and then look at the graphs to see where the linear fall declines and the dive off the cliff starts. All of my BMS stop discharge at...

    broken cable help

    Sometimes a valve core is dependant on the atmospheric air pressure & temperature, they don't always leak. I have had a bike tyre go flat with no puncture and put it down to the valve, pumped back up and all is fine.

    It might be that you rims use 14g reduction nipples and have a smaller dia. Measure an old nipple against the new ones.

    Help! Hi i need help with my bbshd

    One needs the chain to e on a low gear at the rear / the biggest sprocket for pedalling to be easier. Chain coming off is likely a chain line issue, if so one may not be able to select the lowest gear.

    2.2/2.3mm is 13g, one assumes the incorrect nipples were ordered in error ?

    broken cable help

    In my experience slime stuff in tubes was useless as the tube is too flexible and doesn't seal properly, might work for a tiny pin prick. Problem is if a puncture one has to carefully inspect the tyre to ensure the culprit isn't still in the tyre. A TL tyre on it's own is a different case and...

    Solar trailer build

    One will only get near full capacity at the minimal discharge of 0.2a, typically bikes discharge rate though is anything from 13% of the controller rating to 100% so depends on the controller type & rating used and the PAS level used. A current controller will be more frugal then a speed...

    Longtail cargo bikes for e kit conversion.

    I have a feeling I won't get 13s3p with spacers in the case in which case I will have to go 3p with 18650's if I use the bottle cases, optionally I can make up the 21700 pack with spacers and cover it with G10 FR4 0.4mm - 1mm grp sheet and shrink it. Plenty of room on the rear deck for the...
