    break discs and how they suck.

    they were set up properly, they might of been a terrible quality brand in the first place. i gave them every chance i could in terms of resurfacing and setting them up and......in comparison the disc brakes i got from the chairty shop suck compared to the vbrakes (all be it with new brake shoe...

    Punctures............

    have you examined where the punctures are occuring? is it from items puncturing the tyre wall and then the inner tube? or is it the rim itself? do you run a rubber band thingy round your rim to protect the inner tube? my rim came with unburred holes and no rubber bang thing. i went through 2...

    break discs and how they suck.

    just bought myself a whole bike from my local charity shop. with front and rear wire operated disc brakes. spent an hourish swapping the fronts over. looked pretty cool however it was literally the worst braking capability ever. tried tightening the hell outa them. no avail. tried roughing up...

    the police are fecking useless. your people in vans sound like pikeys, and the **** type. luckily where i live the local council estate have a hankering for making their life difficult. i never thought chavs would have a use, but then they go and terroise any local "travellers" in my area...

    supercapacitors + battery

    i get the whole new lithium tech has more cycle life...but hear me out a balancer wont fix a bad cell, but it will stop a healthy but unbalanced cell from messing up and going bad and putting more stress on other cells lowering their lifespan. seeing as lead acid batteries "never" came or...

    supercapacitors + battery

    i dont go below 3.8v on my lipos. my friend who blows them up does go below closer to the 3vs :S. maybe if i went lower id get more ah....but it seems risky ive have a set of 6 lipos for my tyco rc rebound mod. bought them about 4 years ago. hardly use them (mainly summer time) so i make sure...

    varaible capacitor (flux cap??)

    thanks for the info, im not after the movie prop. just something that doesnt exsist, but if i did.....it would have a name kind of like a flux/fluctuating capacitor. the lattitude thing does make some sense.....i get the best current if i have my antenna wire coil going east to west or west to...

    i have now welded a mount for my boost switch onto my handlebar. heres a pic. all is still good. been for another 2 rides and 4 lipos. no problems. the new placement of the switch really helped me dial down when i use the extra voltage. meaning i still get about 3 minutes of life per lipo...

    varaible capacitor (flux cap??)

    thanks for the help. ive actually done the flurescent tube thing. perfect for romatic lighting at a picnic. seems like you can only use one capacitance at one time per antenna,ariel and diode/capacitor arrangement. :( meaning a "flux" cap could actually only really exsist as hundreads of...

    supercapacitors + battery

    ive had a play with that calculator....its seems to rather underestimate my top speed compared to my real world figures. whereas, http://www.electricbikesimulator.com/ this one seems to be a lot closer speed/wise to what im getting in the real world. including my recent trip upto 60v (cheack...

    supercapacitors + battery

    thanks for the interest....this isnt regen like the F1. or regen at all. that stores up the energy from braking to release it at the press of a button. my caps are storing up energy and releasing it automatically under demand. however.....the limitation is they dont really recharge unless i...
