    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Trump didn't want mail-in voting. He fought tooth and nail against it, but Nacy Pelosi and the dems had the control, so pushed it through. Anything that happens as a result of them can't be blamed on Trump. That's nothing to do with Biden's laptop and the info that's on it that shows that Joe...

    Finding a replacement BMS

    Yes, 23.4ah is your battery's capacity. 40A is how much current your BMS will allow. the two are completely independent things. The 40A only has to be higher than what your controller allows, so look at the label on your controller. You need a bit of headroom, so it'll be OK with any controller...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Who reports the information isn't important. what matters is whether they're telling the truth. Documents, emails, SMS messages, photos and videos are compelling evidence, especially when neither Hunter nor Joe Biden have denied that the laptop and what's on it isn't genuine. Also, what makes me...

    Front forks

    I forgot to say, hold the front brake on while you rock the bike back and forth.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Like with Brexit, nothing will change for the likes of you and me. As I've said many times, I'm not invested in this event. I'm merely an observer watching the story play out.

    Help! Can I solder 12awg too a 8awg or 10awg wire?

    Oxidation on the wire away from the terminal is not such a problem for an ebike in normal use though definitely an issue for marine use. The oxidation happens on the surface and would take ages to eat through the wire. The problem is when it happens on a DIY crimped connector, where the surface...

    E-bike accessories and clothing and running costs (extreme shopping frenzy)

    thanks. I never heard anything after the original case was reported. Still, £3,500 for using a horn is a lot. If he hadn't have used it, as was implied by the judges comments, he could have used the reasonable excuse that he thought the way was clear.

    Front forks

    No clamps, so it could be threaded under the sleeve below the fold. before anything, you need to find out where the play is coming from. Wrap your hand around the joint in the fold and rock the handlebars to see if it's coming from there. If not, wrap your hand around the area under the fold...

    Swytch Kits

    Nice solution. There's a thread running at the moment where a guy is asking about turbo trainers. maybe you could say a few things about yours.

    E-bike accessories and clothing and running costs (extreme shopping frenzy)

    I'd get rid of the air horn. Recently, a guy ended up with costs of over £100,000 and lost his house after using one. He used it twice to let pedestrians crossing against a red light know that he was coming. One pedestrian who had already crossed suddenly jumped back into his path and banged her...

    I'm back!

    I saw him at the last NEC bike show. He paid for my coffee and lunch. What a guy!

    Help! Wrong size battery? What should I do?

    The mains lead probably isn't pushed into the charger far enough.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Interesting things happening in the US elections. Trump has stopped campaigning in Florida because he thinks he has it already sown up. Whoever wins Florida, usually wins overall. In the meantime, Biden has come out of his basement and started campaigning in Minnesota, which has been a democrat...

    Help! Wrong size battery? What should I do?

    All you have to do is push the wires in to each other, heat up with the gas and push in the solder wire until the joint is full. Nothing could be easier. Crimping can't be done without special tools. Are you going to lend him yours?

    Help! Wrong size battery? What should I do?

    Yes, assuming that your battery is removable from a holder. For that size, a tiny blow torch would probably be better than a soldering iron. I've even done them on the gas stove.

    Bafang BBS01B Bullet Connectors Size?

    Two reasons: Firstly, copper corrodes in air. It doesn't need moisture, just air. It oxidises and the contact resistance goes up, then the contact area will heat up when any current flows. Tin lead solder doesn't oxidise and works as a protective coating of the copper. Secondly, you need...

    Bafang BBS01B Bullet Connectors Size?

    You're lucky that they haven't already set fire to your bike then. We must have had about 6 cases of burnt bullet connectors in the few months.

    Bafang BBS01B Bullet Connectors Size?

    Not for an Ebike motor or battery. They'll catch fire when you go up a hill.
