    Yesterday I went for a ride (17°C, overdressed... :p) and tried the 32 tooth chainwheel up the steepish 2 km + hill back home. 18.5 km/h up to 19 km/h at cadence and only 0.1 V - 0.2 V sag. Most was at assistance level 4 and in 3rd and 4th gear pulling about 270 W according to the LCD. tried...

    PAS can't jam WOT if something breaks. I bet it was the issue of PAS being very sensitive and kicking in at the slightest forward pedal movement like with my GSM was it?

    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    Which one would that be? France has one of the highest private savings rates around. In fact there are enough private savings to cover about 100% of national debt. Does that sound like a bad thing? How much does the UK have tucked away in savings? You aren't in the Euro zone so no risk of...

    If he had balls he would publish his Tax returns like all of his predecessors did: http://www.taxhistory.org/www/website.nsf/web/presidentialtaxreturns But he won't so no balls and tiny, tiny hands. News flash from the Whitehouse: Drain the swamp! Done that. I have decided to build a...

    OK so wee need frames that have standard dropouts and horizontal dropouts. It would be the same frame design but in IGH and derailleur versions. Road/city bikes in 28", 27.5" and 26" versions The frames have to look at least as good as the Decathlon frames look, they are the entry level bike on...

    My gut feeling is that if you can't keep up a cadence of at least 70-80 you are going to put too much strain on the motor (controller) with a larger chainwheel. Then again you may not be in an area where you risk stalling the motor in bottom gear as I am. With 42:11 I am able to pedal to about...

    Less deadly than being shot by other Americans. The heaping of all Muslims into one uniform group is a huge mistake. If you look at the Middle East a whole heap of problems are caused by fighting between two major branches of the religion. What happened when Protestants and Catholics didn't get...

    I rode my hub drive bike for 3200 km without ever needing a brake cutoff (no throttle mounted). If you aren't mounting a throttle you probably don't need a brake cutoff on a hub motor bike. I have one on my GSM bike because I was having issues with motor run on and also PAS being very sensitive.

    I live in the EU in a country called France. As an immigrant from outside the EU with status of Resident I have to carry at all times an ID card which must have my current address. Every time I move I have 8 days to update the card. In theory an out of date card can lead to expulsion. I have...

    If you go to 48 V I would leave the controller at 14-15 Amps. If you stay at 36 V then 17 Amps is a good compromise between extra power and decent range. I ran for a while at 18 Amps x 37 V and frankly now I am at a smidgen over 15 Amps and there isn't much difference in daily use. Yes you will...

    Those were the missiles that they had taken from a ship with a different launch system and which had to be reprogrammed to work. There was much controversy in France as to whether the after sales support contract should be honored or not. Eventually it was accepted that engineers from a private...

    Very interesting! I saw this right off: - Chain wheel 36T (recommended), 38T (optional), 42T (optional) They are being careful to not put too much strain on the motor, from experience with the GSM I would say that a twin chainring 44-32 setup might be the best compromise for hilly terrain (I...
