I only take the prime if it is safe to do so with plenty of time/space for those behind to react in safe manner. It's only the ar*eh*les/dimwit's you have to worry about who either don't care or don't give a damn and it is those the law need to catch and fine. They are the one's who try to...

Fair enough in that case the ballast will counter.

Worst places I find is when approaching lights or junctions , for some time now I've been taking prime position at these places and do so for some 30 - 40m approaching them ensuring I don't get squeezed .

Only might happen if the rare visible plod happens to be in the vicinity otherwise won't happen, unless video footage is taken as evidence. The only time footage evidence is used is when they ask for any in accident cases.

Marwood remove the unused 4.4kg front hub motor and it will be even better yet.

Carbon bikes have too much carbon surrounding the ali BB, the material build up is to thick and won't allow clearance for any of the Mid drives to slide on , whether Bafang, Mxus, Tongsheng or GSM.

Ditch the cable brake/s and fit a hydraulic, so much better for stopping , brake replacement and wet weather performance.. No need to worry about bleeding just buy and fit, a basic Shimano BM395/445 has very good braking with twin actuated pistons.

Forget carbon bike conversion, BB will be to bulky for a mid drive to fit an dropouts unsuitable for modifying usually. A lot of replies have ignored or not read the OP's opening post, as very little assist has been asked for so rules out all torque drive systems like Yam/Bosch etc. A good hub...

Cold weather can account for 20% less range and also where you charge. What is the multi meter reading for fully charged ?

For my self I will ride out on the Swizzbee for my 5 to 6 mile journey for dinner and T and return later in the day. I suspect Eddie in mind is already at the starting blocks for a morning ride. Merry Christmas/Happy Noel to all on the Pedelec forum.

If you buy a kit from Woosh they will provide a sensor/disc for Hollowtech just let them know. Best to order via phone to make sure all is correct.

The plot continues minister now confirms siting's as genuine and plod have made a right mess of their communications with the press.

It stinks of fake news esp the fact that some 57 sightings were reported, they all must have been in the same pub for xmas drink.

Boardman MX /CX is a great base bike to convert my one I built up from just a CX frame and ncx forks, with a rear hub handling is great. Rear panniers are no longer used and replaced with a top bag with drop down expandables, battery is now changed and has PF cells inside. This bike has had...

I wired up lights on my bike and use small motorbike 40mm dia lights I got off Banggood, they are rated for up to 6 - 84v or something like it and have an intergral step down converter so easy to fit and use.

They claim battery good for 3000 charge cycle's, I wonder then that they are using Boston Swing cell 5300mah/13a.

Most likely the lights couldn't handle the voltage, have you measured the voltage out put of the spades ? Once you know the voltage supply then you can buy the correct lights needed

Have yo physically measured the battery output with a meter ? Bad battery terminal contact ? Faulty battery switch or faulty display ?

Just be cause the polarity is marked doesn't mean it is correct, only checking with a meter will confirm. It might only be one in a million that is wrong and you might have had the one.

Possibly a battery fault or just a bad fuse. Wrong polarity will ruin a controller if no fuse is install between the pair so I always check battery polarity with a meter, wrong polarity will cause the fuse to blow . Don't always take for granted that polarity is correct, mistakes can be...
