    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Your out of sequence. That was in reply to this "They might only be allowing a maximum of 4 Mr Zgjkiuytasdewrty’s per household". It's a joke!

    36v Halfords Connect ebike

    Also, the cut-off voltage in your controller will be too low for a 36v battery, so there's a danger of damaging the battery if you run it right down.

    How to get the best from your battery

    Running the battery right down has no affect on the battery to make it better or worse. Some bikes use a complete cycle to calibrate the range estimates that appear on your LCD, if you have that, but these range estimates are so arbitrary, that it's probably a waste of time and effort to do...

    Bottom bracket needed for wisper 905 se 2008

    A bit of research shows that the 2008 Wisper 905 has a 174mm cup and cone BB. You'll be very lucky to find a replacement unless the one I mentioned above is the same. I think I'd have a go at straightening it. Long ones like that bend very easily when you fall off your bike, so it might be easy...

    Bottom bracket needed for wisper 905 se 2008

    If it's truly 178mm, the only place i know to get from one is here, but it will only work if it's designed for the same sized BB shell. I doubt that it'll fit a 90mm shell (if 90mm is correct). we need some proper photos and measurements. http://sickbikeparts.com/bicycle-parts-and-tools/

    Insurance on a home build bike.

    Locks and CCTV will be cheaper and more reliable than insurance.

    36v Halfords Connect ebike

    For anybody that needs to replace a 24v battery on an ebike, I'd always recommend upgrading to 36v. That might mean upgrading the controller too, but that gives you the opportunity to upgrade the whole control system to make your bike much nicer. I've done several 36v upgrades for various...

    Help me plan my conversion

    Motors might look the same, but they can be completely different regarding speed and power. Also, the power system (battery) and control system has a massive effect on how the bike behaves. They're all different. You can't go by looks or specifications.

    Bottom bracket needed for wisper 905 se 2008

    Turn the bike upside down and take a photo of it from underneath so that we can see all the way from one end to the other.

    Bottom bracket needed for wisper 905 se 2008

    Where did you get 174mm from? I would have expected something like 122mm.

    need chain for wisper 905

    I think it's this one you need if you have the internal spline. The tool you showed is for Hollowtech type. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bicycle-Bottom-Bracket-Remover-BB-Puller-20-Teeth-Wrench-Box-Sockets-Cyclin-V4O7/283675249839?hash=item420c5cccaf:g:e1cAAOSwMmJdzRjl The bottom bracket comes as...

    Interesting Electric bike

    Therehave been a few commercially available electric pusher trailers over the years. They bring all sorts of questions about legality, as if anyone cares.

    Yosepower hub kits.

    I often use ordinary plastic insulating tape instesd of a rim tape - twice around the rim. It costs nearly nothing, and it's quick and easy to do.

    I edited my post abo e after I tealised that you must have inline sensors, look all along the cables. They sometimes put them at the brake end.

    Number Two

    I just looked at post #1. It's interesting to see how the price of batteries has changed. Lipos still cost about the same, but the price of ready-made ebike batteried has crashed in the last year. Now you can get a reasonable 20 amp Dolphin or Shark battery for €180, which is the sa e cost as...

    The motor won't overheat at 30 mph. It's when you use full power at less than 15mph where you'll get problems.

    You must have inline brake sensors on the cable somewhere. they look like this: The sensor/s can be anywhere on the cable, not necessarily at the lever.

    need chain for wisper 905

    Your bottom bracket is clearly bent. you have to replace it. They have them in Halfords. Take yours in and get one the same length- about £10. You need a BB tool to get it out, and don't forget that the right side is a left-hand thread. I'm assuming that it's a standard bottom bracket, and that...
