Nice little project there and it'll be interesting to see how the battery works out long term. I've just ordered up a similarly priced 10s2p 36v battery pack to carry as a 'reserve tank' in case I out cycle my main battery's range. I mainly cycle on assist level one so I doubt current draw on...

Many if not all front hub motors have an OLN=100mm. Will that work with your forks?

Just a minor point in that a blade fuse of the type referred to will not directly prevent a power surge or an overheat situation. In the case of a power surge, excess current (as in above the fuse's rating) causes the fuse element to heat up and then part/blow after some milliseconds and the...

The first thing to check is that the displayed speed is correct (eg a phone app as has been said) then check that the wheel size setting in the controller is correct for your bike.

He he, it's like many consumer products eg iPhone, Oakley and so on, many just like to feel their money has been well spent and claim product superiority and can always find something on the Internet to confirm their choice / rubbish the cheaper stuff. I can't remember the marketing term for...

A good spot - I wish I'd known about the Alfine before I bought a Rohloff one at more than twice that price :(

That depends on how many bike batteries you have hanging around, but in general principle, no, not a practical idea. Firstly, to get a rough idea as to workability, multiply the battery nominal voltage by the Ah rating to get the Wh - eg 36v 20Ah gives you 720Wh. Then of course there's...

Are you using a fairly decent volt meter/multimeter - hopefully one that measures to a least one decimal point? The drop from 41v to 39v after 3 miles isn't great but promising. Ideally it would be a handy diagnostic measure to see how much the voltage drops when you put the motor under load...

I looked into doing this some years ago for an old MTB someone had given me and which I wanted to use as a 'shopping bike' It is as you say, the front forks are heavy and totally unnecessary for ordinary bike riding IMHO After a bit of research I quickly realised that to replace the suspension...

Hi @Tony1951 What did you use and how did you manually charge the low group please?

It does sound like your battery is just holding a surface charge - once under load, that charge soon evaporates and you end of with now useable power. Others will be along to suggest some possible first aid measures that might help recover the battery. There's always the possibility of the...

Just for comparison, my 10Ah bottle battery gives me 40-45 miles range when ridden in ECO (lowest power setting) and I weigh 96kg and my bike weighs around 21kg.

The markings on the cycle lane are clearly what are called 'with flow' of traffic(you'll need to look at the section of highway to the rear of the cyclist, or at the cycle lane the other side of the road to see these markings). If cycling against the flow of traffic is allowed then the road...

Cycling against the traffic would qualify a rider for a Darwinian Award me thinks :rolleyes:

I've never seen a bike that has ready fitted navigation, probably because there are so many off-the-shelf bike navigation units available from apps you can run off a smart phone to dedicated units from Garmin and everything in between.

IMHO there are two key factors to consider here: 1. Glasses protect the eyes from debris (dust, insects and so forth) 2. Eyes are sensitive to UV light and according to the Met Office web page HERE, (and plenty of other info via Google)are 10x more sensitive than skin to UV damage. Thus my...

Well, the thing is, to keep the cargo build going, Neal can of course just stick with the stock firmware and come back to OSF at some later date as OSF is far from essential. Maybe he can meet up with someone later on who is more computer savvy and get it sorted then? Good luck Neal :cool:

@Hangman - thanks for taking the time to post of your experiences with the TSDZ2 That's an interesting observation about blowing the controller etc. I'll need to bear that in mind when next the phantom pedalling presents itself. Ideally if you spot it whilst on the move then a power off/on is...

Nice work @guerney - I almost understood most of it (all the info about the TSDZ2 configurator that is - I must refresh myself on the PATH command etc :rolleyes:), but I shall be book-marking these posts in case of problems. When I installed the previous version of the installer, I just had to...

Neal, Isn't v20.1c.2 still in pre-relaes/beta? 1c.1 has been around for some time and thus tried and tested. Each to their own of course but if I were on my first build, I'd not be brave enough to try a pre-release version 'cos if something didn't go as planned I'd wonder if it were me/my motor...
