Thanks for all the replies. I have tried with the tube in partially inflated, the gap is just too large and the tyre too rigid to try and hold one bead in the rim. I am leaning towards the wrong size or a duff tyre. I have ordered a 700x25c, if that doesn't fit I will take the wheel into the...

Thanks. With one bead in all the way round the wheel there is a gap I can get my finger tips in hence why it just falls off the wheel......

Appreciate that, but it is not possible when the first bead just falls off the wheel when you start to try and put the second bead in. The tyre is just too big. Just seen a chart that suggests if the gap between the wheel rims if 17-19mm (mine is 19mm) the correct tyre size is 23-25c, my new...

Thanks, I have watched a few videos, the first bead seems to stay in the rim and the issue is to get the secone bead in all the way round. My problem is the first bead just falls off the wheel.

622 diameter looks about right. But trying to get the two rims of the tyre which are 45mm apart into the wheel where the space between the rims is 19mm looks impossible. What am I missing?

Thanks for the replies. The new tyre has the numbers ..... 32-622 28x1.25 700x32c The inside rim of the wheel is 19mm The whole new tyre just goes over the rim and off the back, not possible to squeeze the tyre together enough to get one rim to stay in the wheel, at least not without...

And I thought fitting a BBS02 to my Trek Hybrid was the hard part. A rear puncture has me completely baffled. On inspection decided that tyre needed changing as well as tube. Tyre is a Bontrager and possibly many years old. Size says 32-622 700x32c, I purchased from Amazon a Marathon Plus of...

Thanks Nealh, only got around to moving speed sensor today. Works perfectly.

Fitted Bafang BBS02 750 watt with a 17.5ah battery 2 years ago to my 12 year old Trek Hybrid. Not really used it a great deal but have used it a few times over the last few weeks without issue. Decided to have it serviced and ending up needing new rear wheel, cassette and chain. Nothing was...

I fitted a Bafang mid drive kit with downtube battery to my Trek hybrid. Although working well, my dodgy knees and physical size are making it difficult to get on and off comfortbly and safely. I am 6ft 5in tall and just under 20 stones. My knees and weight are the reasons I want to do more...

All done, only issue is rear brakes need adjusting. Impressed so far. No UK plug, just need a 2 pin adaptor. No tools included, only a screwdriver, couple of allen keys and spanner for the pedals required, plus pump for tyres.

Decided to buy one and try it for size. Had a nasty wake up call when it arrived at 6.20am today. Not opened the box yet. Hoping there is a decent video somewhere. E-Moon in black, 7 gears (she never uses gears) 13Ah battery. Anyone built one yet, any tips?

Shame they only seem to sell the Large frame, wife is 5ft 2in and the Medium would be better using their size chart.

Purchased my BBSO2 kit from..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07S4BZGT6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Arrived in about a week back in June.

It sounds like you either have to leave the battery connected, meaning in my case leaving it in a garden shed through the winter or remember every 2 weeks or so to put the battery on the bike so it can recharge the internal battery. As a newbie, I thought batteries were best kept indoors when...

Looking for a step thru for the wife either few or ideally no gears. Gtech City seems to sell for about £5-600 but with no guarantee. which is the Best Buy? thanks

There is a guy on ebay making made to measure Bafang wiring looms, that will reduce some of the wiring but you can't hide it all.

There is nothing to mess up, you are taking stuff off and replacing it, if it all goes t...s up, the old stuff can be put back. I have just fitted a Bafang kit on my old Hybrid, no experience, bought a few tools, made a few schoolboy errors (not tightening things up properly) and took it to a...

so far having been tightened properly it appears to be holding, but only done about 20 miles. Thanks for the replies.

I have added a Suntour seat post to my bafang BBs02 converted Trek Hybrid. Because of my weight I purchased the heaviest spring, when changing them over I realised there was grease on the standard spring but none on the new heavy spring, I need to add some. Searching Amazon for cycle grease...
