    Spoke diameter

    Following mid drive Bafang conversions on a standard bike I guess with the increased weight and torque that one should consider upgrading the spokes in the wheels, mine are standard 2mm spokes but I am considering uprating them, any thoughts?

    I still get replies from the company I used which was Greenbikekit.com even though they are on holiday but they won't send me a replacement part for the damaged one I received until 10th then there is shipping time so probably end of Feb..... Grrrr Much better to use heat shrink wrap than tape...

    Quite a jumble of wiring there and when its all squeezed into the bag then any thing is possible, this may sound odd but if there has been sparks from there have a really good look at all the connections and a good sniff as normally you can smell electrical arcing

    Like the mirror but I have those hand shaped grips on my bike so I guess to get these to fit I would have to cut away the ends?

    Mine is 14.5ah 30 miles is about average but as I keep saying its more about weight of the rider and the terrain, sales hype will always give the max as in MPG with cars you will never achieve what they say.... fact!

    You can keep guessing as to what it could be but the best way I believe is as I say a process of elimination so start with what you already know... sparks from the controller so replicate what happened when you saw the sparks and focus directly at that area first to find exactly where they were...

    When you say control bag do you mean the bag that houses the battery?

    I agree 15 mph/250 watt don't know what they based their facts on but I weigh 90kg and if I hadn't de-restriced mine it would struggle to achieve that
