    Is it time to change?

    For commute riding if not renewing I would leave alone as I would prefer to have the more grip on the front, only you can tell how the handling/grip feels on both surfaces. If road riding all the time I wouldn't bother but as you off road a bit replace the rear for the extra grip and centre...

    Bike for the wife

    One sensible option is to consider the battery, try and get a bike with the same battery/ fitting so that they are transferable so can be used on either and can be used for one bike for extra range.

    Help installing thorttle increase speed

    Extra speed is dependant on your hub winding/rpm. The psw power dual voltage controllers have a speed restriction wire that limits to 25km/h unplug it and it will give 30% more speed if you hub can go faster, also speed can then be adjusted via the lcd3. The dual volt controller comes in two...

    pas 5 giving problems

    As a reserve get me home I use a 11ah Samsung 22F pack and it works fine, in pas 5 I see 640w+ with pas or throttle no issue of cut out. Double check all your connections inc phase for a poor contact, dodgy solder joint or bullets/sm connector pins loose or not crimped tightly.

    Does anyone know what Spokes the Carrera Crossfire E uses?

    Take out a good spoke and measure it for the correct length. Take a measure from the inside of the elbow to the end for spoke length.

    700c Tubeless set up.

    Tubeless ready rim, easier to set up them conventional rims. Various differing trademark names but all do the same thing and should be interchangeable. My new bike has WTB rims/tyres, they call them TCS (Tubeless compatible system).

    pas 5 giving problems

    Throttle is probably shorting and corrupting the pas as it overrides pas when used. Very strange you are having all these little issues as my Yose with KT 20a dual volt controller has been faultless.

    700c Tubeless set up.

    I wasn't expecting much success as I was using the supplied standard non TL clinchers with a TL rim, the first one needed a few goes however then I primed the rim and bead and it did the job. Rear one went first time after priming. TL's have a better bead so probably may have got away without...

    A quick look everything doesn't show very well to much of a birds nest, pics will need to be better with wires & connector more definable.

    S-KU95 controller help

    The test isn't for a one piece wire but a gated/switch component. The test for V/+ to phase only beeps when a blown Mosfet is detected and reads 0. Not all meters have a beep option so 0 = beep in this case and test. Read up on Mosfets, they are voltage switch component that open and close...

    pendleton somerby electric bike

    If using oil don't try and put any in where the cable enters the hollow axle in to the hub. Pawls can stick and may be possible to loosen them but also a pawl spring may have broke or a pawl become dislodged, often the job is removal to simply repair or replace. Which part of the world do you...

    pendleton somerby electric bike

    Hello Julie and nice to see another lady user on board. Your issue is mechanical rather then electrical, the rear gear cluster mounted (a freewheel or freehub) mounted on a e-hub motor relies on a pawl system to catch on a saw tooth mechanism. As the wheel spins clockwise they catch and turn...

    at last fitted kt square wave 36/48v to yose/elife 350w

    Why sq wave and not sinewave ? 48v is impressive in pas 5, as you have notice 5 gives 75/80% more power then pas 4.

    What crank drive

    Manufacturer drives are limited to four. Most common are Bosch and Yamaha, it appears the Yamaha is the more reliable one. Shimano Steps system is out but not many use it on mtb at the mo, Wisper bikes are about to introduce it on their new range of pucker mtb's. The other big player is Bafang...
