    Forks needed

    Your forks are steel. they should bend out quite easily. Get a block of wood approx the right width (around 110mm) and smash it up the forks with a big mallet. When it's far enough up, leave it in place while you pull in the bottom with a nut and long bolt to make them parallel again. I've...

    Crank sensor broken ats

    If you can't get hold of one of it's too expensive and you're OK with wiring and soldering, you can replace all the electrics except the motor and battery for about £60. that will give you a throttle and the option of setting whatever speed limit you want.

    Crank sensor broken ats

    Why do you need a replacement? I can see that the lug is broken off, but that doesn't stop it from working. You can fabricate a lug out of epoxy putty or anything else like that. You don't even need the lug. You can stop the sensor from rotating by fixing it with a cable tie. I'm not sure you...

    Volt Alpine X Derestricting

    I would think that the controller and display work together as far as programming is concerned. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way into the parameters through the display, but the chance of finding the right combination of button presses by random is not very high. As long as you have the...

    Woosh Scirocco noisy

    Loads on Ebay - new and used. If you choose one with the hose length the same as your cable length, it's a very easy swap. You only need the lever, hose and caliper, which come as a ready assembled unit. you don't need a new disc nor the caliper adapter, but you do need to make sure that the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Maybe. Or maybe it was something else. All is not what it's supposed to be in this thread. I don't know why you're wasting your time in it.

    Woosh Scirocco noisy

    If his disc brakes aren't working properly, find out how to set them up properly and adjust them. there are plenty of Youtube videos on how to do that. First, you have you have to determine whether you have cable or hydraulic ones as the setup procedure is different. If you have cable disc...

    You have to feel sorry for him. He's pining for his alta ego Robdon, who is suspiciously missing in action. Was it because someone started asking questions about her?

    Controller cooling

    I'm pretty sure that the 201 rpm 36v Q128c is actually 260 rpm and it's identical to the 48v 328 rpm Q128C, i.e. they're the same motor.

    Accessories for a bike

    Accessories make your bike heavier. For each one kilogram you add, you have to pedal 1% harder up the hills to go the same speed. Only fit or take accessories that will give you a positive benefit, and where possible, only take things that you need for the journey or task that you have in hand...

    Controller cooling

    it depends on how much current you want to use. A 14 amp controller can sit in a bag or other enclosure without any ventilation, so can a 20A one if you never use level 5. It also depends on your motor's maximum speed. Fast motors will draw the maximum current for more time than a slow one.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is what the far right lefties always do. When they see someone as a threat to their agenda, they do everything they can to try and make them look like a bad person because they know they can't win any argument or debate. By the way, what's happened to your alta ego Robdon? Did she get...

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    That's pretty good advice. the only thing I would add is that a lot of people prefer the cadence-based control systems that you get on Chinese type bikes, and they prefer the ride you get with a hub motor, so there's still a strong case for bikes in the £1200 to £1500 price bracket from Juicy...

    Mac/BMC type motor drive cutting out.

    Sounds like a hall sensor problem, but could still be the MOSFETS. They're easy to test, so do that first. With the controller disconnected, measure the resistance between each of its battery wires and each phase wire to get six readings. Each group of three should be the same as each other and...
