    Throttles why do they go bad so easily?

    The issue with Julet cleared it self once I cleaned the green copper track between pins, a dob of grease also helped. It us only the wire/pin contact continuity which was affected and not the sensor.

    Pannier bags for Big Bear

    Panniers look good and as you say rigid often something that lets bicycle orientated one's down. Have you a link for them and carry capacity.

    Throttles why do they go bad so easily?

    The only issue I have had with thumb throttle is a wire break/ intermittent contact causing a problem and water ingress shorting the Julet pins. Operation wise I do prefer the lever style of the 108x which can be had for less then £6 each and appear to be better weathered.

    Need help choosing a bike for 19 mile commute

    A Woosh bike or any other decent Chinese bike should be able to cope with a 19 mile commute both ways, as with any bike the user should carry out a weekly check over of the bike and just keep up with any niggly repairs needed. At the end of the day even the top end ebikes are generically mostly...

    Where can I buy a decent battery from?

    Elifeshop, YSBattery, Enerpower on ebay all from Germany are all proper sellers. Elifebike aka PSWPower use a Czech warehouse. Getting hold of specific celled batteries seems to be an issue of supply at the mo, probably not helped by the up take in e cars cells needed. Lot s of lesser 5a cells...

    KT 20a controller and the smaller amp one's are connected via a hall sensor cable, it has the std 9 pin Julet for hub connector and the other end has 3 separate phase bullets and the DJ7061 6 wire hall sensor block. Hub motors are supplied with this cable though you can buy them separately.

    Faulty eCarrera Crossfire

    Where is the controller situated ? I can understand the issue in replacing the hub if the controller is inside, otherwise can't see hub replacement solving the issue if it isn't. The controller controls amp delivery not the hub & like wise the battery can't deliver extra amps unless the...

    Which battery do I get?

    Data sheets put out by companies are mainly there to put there technology above the competitors, you have to take their claims with a pinch of salt. Micah Toll of ebike school.com recently did a temp test with GA's on Endless Sphere and with the 8a load the cells got up to and over 62c above...

    Waterproofing bike wire to avoid the walk of shame

    Try amalgamating tape, it is a very stretchy rubber self bonding tape. If you use and apply it correctly it will keep your wire joints completely dry and insulated.

    Hollowtech Crank

    Apart from the drive BB shaft failure everything else is aluminium cranks/spider failures have to agree a silly bit of wax oil won't prevent ali from shearing. Production faults in casting or lack of bearing maintenance more the likely issue. Recently replaced a HT BB after noticing/hearing...

    Stealth battery won't charge - suspect BMS

    Have you double checked all 13 strings to make sure one isn't higher then the rest if not do check them all again. Some BMS don't have a balance feature and once a cell string reaches full charge first then all charging switches off.

    Brake pads

    My last set of pads (4 pairs) were £1.01 a pair, they worked very well and were as good as the £3.50 a pair I was paying. China direct cuts out the middle men.

    Which battery do I get?

    30Q cells are the best of the bunch. GA cells are good initially then they apparently loose capacity, rated for 10a @ 60c temp but over heat at this temp approaching 8a draw so spec is a bit ambitious. 29E better in 6p strings.
