    Hello From Stafford - ANYONE FROM STAFFORD?

    Thank you very much for this link, I have ordered some parts from sickbikeparts as per that thread and I think that problem may now be solved. I found a 175mm wide bb and crank set on there and on another site and will be coupling them together to fit onto the bmx. :)

    Hello From Stafford - ANYONE FROM STAFFORD?

    I got these in the post today. 5 of them for £31 will mount four spotlights on the 'dipped' section of the handlebars.. They are bright but the angle isn't very wide so I'll be using several to optimize the throw. We'll see how they work out if they are waterproof as they said they would be. I'm...

    Hello From Stafford - ANYONE FROM STAFFORD?

    Where I work, right next door to us there are lots of recycling places, one of which recycle carbon fibre! I walked in this afternoon but the lady at the desk was unable to help, so I will ask them tomorrow during my lunch break if they can spare some 1m x 1m carbon fiber for the fairings...

    Hello From Stafford - ANYONE FROM STAFFORD?

    I was laughing in the office about the wheeliebar idea that's awesome for a fairing! I wonder what the fuzz'll say about all that with the wheeliebar it'll take some explaining hahaha I should build some extra downforce and maybe some stealth flat spaces in the frame using the battery cases...

    stealth mode will prove necessary in the long run :))) two battery boxes welded slightly below the tubular frame where the downtube meets the headset, and one steel box slung underneath them both with hinged catches and some pannier bags covering it all front and back? look what came in the...

    Hello From Stafford - ANYONE FROM STAFFORD?

    Hi OldBob I'm finishing some parts up on the bike to get it ready for the summer. 1) I need to locate the batteries securely under the downtube and on the sides or on either side of the front forks( with a low COG better acceleration), and preferably not too far from the motor with as short...

Forgot to mention that I've got some problems with the spacing for the freewheel and some chain alignment issues to iron out, will upload pictures, it's like a 130mm chain mis-alignment :( which is probably the biggest problem in this very straightforward project :P...I'm talking to my...

    I never knew... thanks for the info... Do you know anything about the GT power shunt mod? is that any good? would it be able to handle (by using an external shunt for 500A) 4Guage welding cable?

    Hello From Stafford - ANYONE FROM STAFFORD?

    It's a shame the controller cannot be programmed, so it's a question of hairtrigger throttling or placing the batteries on the front forks. as for mounting the chain, I think that might be an option to swap the sides of the sprocket, I will take measurements tomorrow and see if I can fit this...
