    Carrera E replacement.

    RBW offers a superb service. Sunday I placed an order for some more spokes. Monday p.m they called me to say their server had eaten the ebay email with spoke size on, so rang to ask me the size required. Just after noon today arrived by 1st class RM.

    Carrera E replacement.

    Using your spoke calc page it comes out at 244.4 & 243. The spoke calc I use says 244.2 & 242.6. Sapims calc says 246 & 244. If it were me I would go with 242 or 243, I think 243 is best bet. Ryan builds wheels on ebay custom cuts to order for £22.50 using Sapim Strongs. They are 2mm dia...

    Carrera E replacement.

    I have always used the same length spokes for both sides so go with the shortest ones as a couple mm works alright for me, although not professional sometimes I may have a mm or two of thread showing on left side. If doing it proper like you would use two different lengths.

    Maintenance Advised...

    A couple of options comes to mind. 1. Don't join the merry go round by buying a Bosch, Yamaha, Steps bike. 2. Do what Eddie does move the bikes on out of warranty and start again.

    Super sleek, no BS bargain . Anyone , anyone ?!

    Bit of a con man if you ask me waiting for an unsuspecting sole to rip off. The basic Boss blke is pretty crap value is sub 200 new :eek:. Must pay in full before test ride & collect in person, which means while you are testing I will be disappearing quickly around the corner with your lolly...

    Carrera E replacement.

    Right your spokes are too short as you have used the wrong hub diameter sizing. You need to use spoke hole C/L diameter which is 129mm not 144mm which is overall flange diameter. For 607mm erd rim you will need spokes 244 right & 242 left , if spokes are too long you will not get tension right...

    Carrera E replacement.

    DON'T order spokes you are wrong somewhere, give me a few mins to go over your calcs. Reason being I use 236/237mm for 1X for 594 erd with Q128c.

    Is rain to blame for BBS01 problems

    I guess if you do fry the internal pas would a KTV12L fit on the left side ?

    AliExpress vs eBay for buyer protection?

    Have had two refunds via Ali after items failed to arrive no quibble payment was made quickly. I use them as often they have a better range of items for your particular requirements then ebay but that is due to the fact that they are in China with China sellers, after all most stuff we buy is...

    I have lots of cells, anyone able to build a battery?

    HE4's are a very good 2500mah 20a cell. I have the HE2's pretty much the same cell barring about a 1 or 2% difference. Shame you didn't live nearer :(.

    What a good feeling...

    To make your ride feel better or I should say for you to feel better wear a pair of base layer silk ski gloves under your normal gloves and a Buff to cover up to just over your nose, both work for me and makes for a more comfortable ride whether commuting, running errands or pleasure riding...

    Error code 12 bafang BBS02 850c display

    Post #1 you stated you had ERROR 12 and the drive stopped, it may be that the mosfets got warm and a thermal cut out occurred. Problem is these controllers are so small and compact, a part from checking the resistance of said mosfets there is little or know way of telling if other damage has...

    Error code 12 bafang BBS02 850c display

    Your initial error started with ERROR 12, a current fault diagnosis. I had this with a BBS01 and it was only cured with a new controller. Repairing the controller is futile and trying to remove the grey silicone rubber will cause more damage as it will also lift/damage other minute small pcb...

    costco jetson electric mtb

    DC is partly right about leaving the bike out in freezing conditions, generally it won't do any harm. But when it comes to charging lithium doesn't hold a full charge well when charged at a cold temp, will discharge quickly and voltage sag will be greater. Charging should be done with a...

    Q128C seems very slow - normal or not?

    No matter how much silicone or grease or whatever you gob on to it, moisture will always find away and track down in to the motor. Eventually rust will seize it up or it will fail.

    Q128C seems very slow - normal or not?

    Depends what speed you cut out at now ? You will have either reached the optimal top end speed for hubs rpm @ the supplied voltage or need to set the lcd speed setting a bit higher. Pointless setting the speed on lcd to 70mph as you never peddle that fast for mine I just set it between 32 -...

    Carrera Crossfire ebike Battery Charger

    To rule out a faulty charger measure the chargers out put voltage with a test meter. Plug it in to the wall socket, switch on without battery connected and see what voltage reading you get from the leads battery connector.

    Q128H - Wheelbuild Info Needed

    My Q128c in a 700c rim I laced as 2X how ever the spoke /nipple entry wasn't perfect and did have a slight angle, 1X should be perfect. For spokes I use 14g Sapim strong measured to order off an ebay seller, I think these were the preferred spokes used by Catsnapper who used to post on here...
