Tommie, I think your right, hopefully tomorrow I will get time to take a better look, I also need to clear more space in the garage to work as its a little tight in there at the moment. In the mean time, look what turned up today :- https://imgur.com/a/snbyG I'm a computer geek by trade and...

Dumb question (first of many) I like the idea of the wilko cable to re-sleeve the gear change cable and then re-route the cable run. How tightly secured does the cable need to be to the bike frame, in my mind it needs to be fixed so the leaver works properly to change gear ? I'm leaning toward...

Great idea, would make more sense to fit the gear change sensor as well if all sleeved ? Drew.

Thats great, I was thinking the same, cut bracket down and re-fit. Or I have a 3D printer so I could make something new ;-) Drew.

It looks like you just cable tied the cable in place and removed it from the bottom bracket ? Drew

Cool, do you have a pic of what it looks like when installed ? Drew.

Hi all, Started my conversion of my Giant Roam with a Bafang kit. Been a bit of a nightmare so far, I got the bike cheap but soon found out the drive side crank had no thread on it ! The bike was cheap as the bottom bracket needed replacing, now I know why ! Anyway I got the bracket off thanks...

Hi all, I have been lurking around here on and off for a few years, but now want to get fit and also want an ebike. I'm looking to convert a Giant Roam 1 probably with a Bafang mid motor kit. Any pointers / tips / best places to source kit in the UK much appreciated. Some pics before the work...

Guys, Still working on putting together my Ebike. I have got a Crystalite 5304 mortor and lifebatt lifepo 4 cells as well as starting to get some other bits together. Anyone got any info on a decent Battery managment system (BMS) and or charger. The battery I am putting together is a...

Call me thick but are you saying that the battery I have picked should more that suffice ? Droo

I was thinking of getting a Phoenix Racer 4840 or 3640. My commute to work is approx 6 miles each way and relativly flat with a mile or so steady climb on the way there. So Ideally I need a range of about 20miles to make sure im ok ! If I have done my sums right than I recon I might...

Guys, I am looking at various kit options and self build ideas at the moment but seem to be stumped for battery suppliers etc. Anyone got any advice or suppliers to suggest ? Droo

link to article? could run it through babblefish etc.

Perhaps you should set an agenda for people to review first Droo.

oh well thats not to bad - I will go with that for the moment and see how I get on - just got to wait for payday and order be placed :) Droo

Im assuming if I change to an 8 gear freewheel I can just swap them straight over? If I goto a 7 etc then I might need to reset the gears - probably get this done by a local bike shop as I always seem to cock it up when I have tied to sort out gear problems in the past. That said I know by...

Yeh cool - I did some mroe googling and recon it will fit fine as well. Going to get mine ordered once pay day comes - will post a review once I get mine etc. Droo.

Sounds like a plan - I just need to do more reading to understand what it all means ! I know you posted else where nick but what did you use to produce that graph of your journey in your review - wouldnt mind doing the same for mine Droo.

Nick, Great post - thanks for that. Some of my reading leads me to belive that the gear ratio may need to change as you tend to use your higher gears more. I will keep reading ! Droo.
