    Discontinued hub? - SRAM DD3

    New ones on ebay via Germany if you have 250 - 300 quid. Do some research and you might find the Sturmey Archer 3 spd hub may work with the sram gear, have read it is possible. The Sturmey is a lot cheaper and spares plentiful so one might be able to replace all the components if needed...

    Hi......

    BBS mid drive is cadence PAS as are the AKM, Mxus versions. The Tonsheng is a TS type, though in general hub motor systems are often more reliable and give better longevity. All might depend what your main riding consists of.

    Carrera Crossfire - Modify Gearing

    That is a short cage mech, I can't see you just putting 40t on with out a road link/ hanger extender as the mech for sure won't have the capabilities and then you may still have issues with capacity. In addition to the road link also use a new longer B screw as well. My Gravel bike was 2x with...

    Charging to X% - What about rigging up a voltmeter with alarm?

    Sony no longer make cells and they are made under licence my Murata who bought the business, hence the name.

    Charging to X% - What about rigging up a voltmeter with alarm?

    Most BMS are top end balancing so typically 4.15 - 42v per cell. With a smart BT or Uart BMS one can set the balance to any voltage. Problem is with 80% is you loose a lot of range and power, 90% or 4.1v may be a better solution if one had a smart BMS as there is little usable capacity in the...

    Places to get a rear wheel made\rebuilt?

    Often a few broken spokes may warp the rim out of true but usually doesn't mean the rim is buckled. Finding a shop who can work on hub motor wheels isn't easy as their trueing stand may not except the larger axle or are willing to do the work. Give Hatti a ring at Woosh or speak to Tony as Woosh...

    Carrera Crossfire - Modify Gearing

    Is the rear mech a long cage or med cage ? Sometimes it is prudent to fit a road link to increase the mech capability rather then winding in the B screw and have the tension at the max all the time.

    Lets make this simple, do the sprockets (gear cluster) screw on or do they slide on and to a hub carrier with splines ?

    Samsung - are we just paying for the name?

    Obviously we are paying for a name as do those who go one about Bosh and R&M etc,etc. As always buying cells needs research and trying to find independent findings on them before making a decision.

    Samsung - are we just paying for the name?

    Sounds like a Sam 29E rebadge or could even be rejects who knows ? The LG MG1 was a very mediocre cell at best and know where near as good as the 29E. Generally if any of these eastern cells were of any notability, testers like Mooch on e cig forums and others on ES may have tested one or two...

    Walking and biking prioritised in new Highway Code

    The main issue is we don't have the police manpower & enforcement like other countries, France , Spain and Germany come to mind. Today I passed a group of cyclists slow and wide after waiting for a suitable gap from oncoming traffic, yet the typical impatient BMW behind wasn't waiting he...

    Walking and biking prioritised in new Highway Code

    We all hope it is a step forward in the right direction, but there will be a lot who will not understand the new rules or want to abide by them. The benefit should be good for all vulnerable road users not in a motor vehicle, lets hope the Govt have awareness TV ads for all to see, then no...

    Some sentencing needs looking at, though no families of victims will see it as any justice.

    Electric Bicycle for Deliveroo

    Assisted speed on an ebike kills battery range, generally up to about 18/19mh range is good. Once you are assisted above this speed the range will drop quite quickly so you have to balance usage out accordingly. My bikes cut out at approx. 16.2 mph on the lcd and I can pedal above this limit to...

    Help! Pendleton ebike

    As above two simple obs, battery charged and display is on. With pedal assist (PAS) most simple cadence types utilise a BB sensor and a magnet disc behind the chain wheel or sometimes the set up is visible on the LHS. A lot of sensors have a Red LED it should be lit and blinks as every magnet...

    Pendleton E-Bike - Neglected batttery - Won't charge

    Lithium is very dangerous and fires very toxic, they burn fiercely and are nye on impossible to extinguish. They need treating with respect and certainly so with dubious charging techniques with out qualifying cell voltage status.

    Pendleton E-Bike - Neglected batttery - Won't charge

    Whole heartedly agree with Dave on this one, if any cells are sub 1.5v you are likely asking for trouble in trying to charge them this way and get decent life or stable cells. Cells that have simply drained a little meaning the BMS won't allow charging and are above 2.5v are within...

    Cyclist jailed after Tower Hamlets hit-and-run death

    Yes his sentence will include that spent in custody, he is due or was due for a right to stay immigration application. Hopefully now he has a crim record he will be deported, Albania I believe or somewhere like it.
