Finally, I can use first gear. The torque arm bracket anchor (spotlight mount) comes as a pair, so I had one to use. I cut off a strip of stainless and had my chainguide in 5 minutes. Muddy ride yesterday:

It was down Ironbridge Gorge and back

 

Did you see my mate? Fat guy with a fishing rod. Looks exactly like Shrek, but with a beard and tattoos. He keeps offering me fish pies baked by his daughter, don't think he likes them.

 

Mid-drive? Torque sensored? I thought you hated both. Does not compute! o_O

 

I reckon the small, puny and flimsy TSDZ2 is the wrong choice for you. I hope things continue ok, but I expect one or more of the many anxieties TSDZ2 owners live with made real, will ultimately serve as confirmation amplifying your bias against mid-drives. You really should have installed a cadence sensored, easy to firmware configure 36V BBS01B. 36V, because I'm unsure if all 48V BBS01B controllers can have firmware altered. BBS01B controllers last longer than the BBS01's used to. Far fewer anxieties overall.

 

Didn't [mention=16007]harrys[/mention] make the PAS on his TSDZ2 cadence sensing, by way of firmware finagling? Perhaps an option to try, if torque sensing gets on your nerves.

You have to take one for the team sometimes. It's not too bad because it's the 48v version., but I do need to pedal harder most of the time, but not when I'm climbing very steep hills. I went up a 30%er today, which was at the end of a a long climb of about a mile. It's for a project that needs very good climbing torque, and there are reasons it would be difficult to use a rear hub motor, in particular because I need a special axle.

I look forward to reading about how long your TSDZ2 lasts being used like that!

It's ok for you and [mention=9614]Nealh[/mention] to use tiny mid-dives then, because TSDZ2s are only ickle. So small and girly, they hardly count ;)

I'm back on track with this project, which I was hoping to finish last May, but health problems meant I missed the slot, which took away the urgency. It now needs to be finished by end of next May.

 

Here are some photos to get the juices going:

that looks promissing. Is it for your boat?

No, it's my new bike project that I started at the beginning of this thread. I mentioned earlier that there are three stages to this project. stage one is complete. this is stage 2. When this stage is finished, you'll get a good idea of what it is. It's something quite novel. I don't think it's been done before.

to get the juices going

 

It's to create concentrated wind juice, but not this type, which I will be spraying surreptitiously into my neighbour's windows to inspire their moving out. Tried everything else, must resort to olfactory warfare - they'll be ripping up floorboard and smashing plaster off the walls for months trying to find the source of the godawful ass juice smell, then give up and move out.

At what height will you set your wind conentrating juicer? How and where will you attach it to your bike? Can't be too low, however low too low is. Does appear it must be situated high to collect and concentrate enough faster than ground level wind, in order to generate enough juice to substantially increase range of your ebike, for your long and perilous narrow mountain path journey to Shangri-la in Mansfield, the valley of which will be clear of snow in Spring for your pilgrimage. Although that particular Shangri-la only has three stars, I can see the appeal of such a project - less pfaffing about wasting time waiting for your battery to charge by other means, and lighter than solar panels or petrol generator. If you can, might as well pick it up as you go along, like the dustbinman training course...

 

Wind-Powered Vehicle Can Also Travel Upwind Faster Than the Wind

The team that proved it’s possible to travel downwind faster than the wind has done it again, this time modifying their cart to go upwind at more than twice the speed of the circulating air.
