I've got standard marathon I've always had punctures from time to time even with marathon plus on my old bike. It's the downside of living in Sheffield the steal city.. scrap, screws, nails, nuts, bolts and glass all over the place.

I feel you with that,,, I took it off to change the inner tube today. I only just manage to do it with 3 metal tyre levers making the smallest steps around the wheel and pretty much hoping for the best I don't pop the inner tube in the process. I'm not looking forward to getting a puncture in...

Yes that's the rim I bought, Out of interest what tyres do you use on it? I've got the marathons and they are very tight fit on this rim. I'll leave it all be for now and keep an eye on it.. but I can see me threading it onto the original Brompton 28h rim that I removed.. it doesn't have...

I found a solution to ease my worries about battery.. a LIPO fire proof storage bag. for less than 10 quid and what we hear about fires and e bikes surely they should be essential?

Here are some pictures Needs cables tidying still,, but you can get an idea of the spoke pattern and bending.. they are like a gentle s shape bend. 2mm diameter spokes. I can't find a rim available online that has 36 holes with angled holes. Angled ones are available for Brompton with 28...

Indeed it is,, I was confused by the picture angle

Ill post some pictures over the weekend, Id say it's currently a 2 cross, not sure about the spoke gauge, I'll find out by measuring. Probably I should get a new rim that has angled holes.. the q70 has 36 holes though so not so easy to find as the 28h rims. I think a foot pedal would be very...

My motor has 36h and a lot of them for Brompton seem to have 28h like I can see yours is. Your valve for pumping though seems to be like mine inline with a crossover of spokes.. maybe it's just from the angle of the picture but seems like it would be easier to access if it were between spokes...

Yes,,, your spoke holes in rim seem to be offset at an angle to eachother. Rather than all straight through the centre like mine. I did consider going for the swytch kit and would have been much more straightforward I'm sure. Did you get full kit from them? And finding it all ok or made any...

hi stuart my spokes are bent,, because the angle as the motor diameter is bigger than a standard hub,, you can use smaller spokes but the bigger the hub gets the bigger the angle the spoke has to be at to connect to the rim. The holes for the spokes in the rim seem to be all in the centre...

Thanks saneagle I'll take that onboard about the spokes and although it doesnt sound critical I will try to improve it at some point because I've also spoked it up with the valve between the crossover of spokes so it's possible but not so easy to get the pump head on the valve. The one you...

Wow... that is so much better! I didn't expect it to be so powerful. I put the controller compatible with hall sensor, and an led screen to change the power etc. Brilliant, thanks for the help, I would not have figured that out without the advice.. when it said hall sensor I always thought it...

Thanks for you help I'll change it and let you know how it goes.

it has 8 wires so it must have hall sensor built in? I havent connected the 5 wires for hall sensor to anything though i guess this is the problem :(.. I dont seem to have anything on my controler to connect them to.

The motor itself I don't believe has the sensors built it,, but it states that it is compatible with hall sensors (has the wiring required to connect) or can be used sensorless.

Woosh,, I checked the spec online and it is 15a limit,, LSW 657 from BMS battery.. granted it does say comparable with q75, 85 and 100 motors,, not the q70,, but I think q70 was an addition to the range so I hoped it was just a case of it didn't exist as the time they wrote this... in terms of...

It is a motor that can be sensor or sensorless it says. I won't use an LCD for the time being if I can run it without, perhaps I'll think about adding in future though, I'm not sure what the LCD's show you tbh I've not looked into it much yet,, I'm hoping to just get the bike running with bare...

Hi I'm trying to convert my Brompton to electric and wonder if anyone can help. I have the motor/wheel turning, but it is not providing enough power to pull when it is in contact with the floor. I have attached the wiring information for the controller I have.. and it is a Q70 250watt motor, I...
