For my next build I am looking at gear options and thought I might put a Nexus Inter 8 behind the GSM kit. The bike is a 28" wheel I think I will be running 50-622 Big Bens on them. As the bike has vertical drop-outs I will be using the Alfine chain tensioner. As I have lots of long up-hills...

Sold!

Because most people just file wider and the axle isn't set deep enough. You can file wider first but you must promise us to file deeper too so that the axle is properly seated. If you don't and you come back saying your wheel fell out... well... no you just don't want to go there... What torque...

The people who sent all of Europe's industrial jobs to China don't want you buying direct from there. You have to buy from one of their importers/agents here so that they make lots of money off you. Just in case you didn't understand that they have other people here who will take your money away...

I actually haven't had too bad a run. I only talk to inanimate machines like that, I am all flowers and honey with my boats too... :) Back to the topic, I just got back from S. Sebastian (European Capital of Culture 2016) where the sun was absolutely blazing. Rode back down the coast road into...

<shameless plug> Build one for your bike: http://www.amateurboatbuilding.com/articles/news/woodenwidget/foldavan/index.html Yes that is a wooden bike.

My bike is called "bike", I said "hey bike come here" last week but it didn't move. Mustn't be its real name... Or it didn't recognise me... :rolleyes:

Does your wife read this? No because if it's condoms...:eek:

Go find a puncture in 5 minutes on a dark Basque Country road at 1 a.m. after a couple of bottles of red wine then come and teach me how you do it ;)

Damn this is a good thread! Learning stuff, not going to die a complete idiot!

I have been reading... Question: How do you limit discharge voltage to 3.55 V per cell as per the ES howto? The LCD-3 only allows 31.5 V cut off i.e. 3.15 V per cell which is kind of close to the 3.0 do not pass threshold. A voltmeter/watt-meter is compulsory equipment? Question 2: How many...

Blunt instrument of choice would currently be HL battery or GSM mid-drive :) Is human life possible below 10°C? :confused:

I was going to write "What is a pump?" then I remembered I have one in the bottom of my pannier bag. I think I may have even used it once or twice :cool:

If I said that we have been having, after our two week winter, balmy 26°C afternoons with short sleeve cycling on the menu would heavy blunt objects be thrown my way? :p Now we are like greedy Hobbits of course: that was only our first winter which may well be followed by a second and even a...

Haven't talked to any yet. Some have looked sideways but they are too busy with drug runners and cigarette smugglers or drivers using their mobile phones... :rolleyes:

Best to send them an e-mail and ask what controller it has saying you want the torque simulation sine wave one.

Not if you live where it rains and the temperature drops below 0°C think "chill factor"

No because you can go into the LCD settings and change the MAX speed and or wheel size. According to EN 15194 there has to be a way of preventing the user from doing this. "Permanently fixed to the frame" is the wording used. You are the manufacturer - you have assembled two different products...

Sine wave definitely!

Yes you can BUT 9 speed is about the maximum because of the drop-out width. When you have a hub motor a 7 or 8 speed cassette is plenty, you don't need as many gears. This is one of the reasons a mid drive can be a more convenient conversion. Aluminium frame is another - you don't have to add...
