Now I don't know if I'm late to the party, but I saw a YouTube video today, showing a neat little product for joining wires together: The actual one I'm on about is around the 4 minute mark in the video and is this product at B and Q...

Thinking of ditching the car and commuting the 7 miles to work. Will buy a UK legal electric bike for this task. Does anyone here commute all year round? If so, are harsh winters doable, or not recommended? Plus, any other advice would be most welcome.

Ha ha, before you all start complaining to the administrator or RSPCA, it's actually an electric bike. This one in fact: Powerhog Electric Bike My friend bought one last month and I persuaded him to come out on part of the C2C, mainly so I could have a go actually :cool: Considering it's at...

BMW E30 M3 on eBay A mate of mine had one of these back in the day, not sure if it was a Sport Evolution though. I do remember it being rather nippy and cornered like it was on rails. Seems like they've held their value quite well o_O That lottery win can't come soon enough :D

I don't know if this would be useful to anyone who owns the Bafang models in the description, or if it actually does any more than the simpler programming cable already does. But I spotted this on eBay and thought I'd post the link, as it may be something a forum member could use. Bafang BESST...

I want to purchase a few items on AliExpress, but would like to get some feedback on this website first, before I buy. Can anyone give their experiences on AliExpress purchases please. Also, what's the AliExpress Standard Shipping like for reliability and speed on fairly small packages?

I would like to switch from my usual dry lube to dip waxing the chain. Is anyone using, or have used, dip waxed chains? Which wax is recommended and does it really keep the crud off the chain for longer?

As much as I've raved about the combination of Slime inner tubes and Schwalbe Marathon tyres over the years, for a great anti-puncture combo. I'm sorry to say that, due to a horrible experience today, I will no longer be using Slime inner tubes. Instead I'll be sticking with a normal tube and...

Hope this hasn't already been posted. Must've missed the thread if it has. There's an alternative app to the supplied app that EM3EV provides, when you buy one of their batteries which has the bluetooth BMS. This is the Google Play Store link, but you can just search for 'EM3EV BMS Monitor'...

Apologies if this has been posted before:

Was browsing eBay this morning, looking at Nissan Leafs and Renault Zoes, when I came across this odd little car. Electric car with solar roof The description is incredibly vague and the info seems a bit iffy, but it looks like what to be a Peugeot 107. The engine bay picture is interesting...

Thinking of swapping my lube of choice over to this stuff. Does anyone use it, or something similar, and what are your experiences?

I would guess that the majority of forum members may not even know what chainsuck is, or ever experienced this annoying phenomenon. Here is a link to explain what it is and the reasons why chainsuck may occur: https://www.mtbr.com/threads/workbench-how-to-un-suck-your-chainsuck.1169608/ For...

During an axle/final drive gear strip down to find the cause of another problem, I came across two issues that might be worth checking, if you ever do some big maintenance on your BBS01 or BBS02. I am not sure if this applies to the BBSHD, as I think it is different internally. Maybe someone...

My pedal rotation had become a bit choppy, so I decided to pull out the axle for a look. As you can see, one of the thrust bearings had decided to self destruct, which was causing the rotation issue. I've got a new set on the way from Green Bike Kit, but I'm wondering if anyone on here has...

Please correct me if I'm wrong. As it stands, when buying goods from a country in the EU, they add tax to value of the country's particular VAT level in the sending country. Then when it reaches the UK, there are no more taxes to pay, because we are currently part of a free trade agreement. If...

After a bit of umming and ahing about whether a suspension seatpost is a worthy investment, and whether it should be a Thudbuster or a Suntour type, I found the Suntour on eBay for a great price. I pressed fire and it was delivered a few days ago. After fitting and a few runs of approximately...

As title, if anyone has done this without problem, or even just the usual chain alignment problem etc, then please post. https://www.halfords.com/bikes/mountain-bikes/carrera-hellcat-mens-mountain-bike-2020----red---s-m-l-xl-frames-366830.html Thanks.

A few questions actually, for any techies out there. Take for example a BBS02 9 MOSFET controller. It is my understanding that a controller like this, has 3 MOSFETS allocated per phase wire. If one single MOSFET fails, does that usually cause the controller to become dead? If this is not the...

It's time to replace my aging battery, powering my BBS02. This one is at the top of my short list, with the LG HG2 cells: https://em3ev.com/shop/em3ev-48v-13s5p-jumbo-shark-ebike-battery/?currency=GBP Now I have read up on the benefits of charging to 90% to be kinder to the cells, and EMV3ev...
