@slammer99uk - got this pic from another posting here - the bags shown are Topeak Trunk Bags DXP

@Planemo - the dimensions of the original Pendleton e Somerby controller: 87mm wide by 46mm high by 20mm deep plus all the cabling as seen in the pic below. Cheers,

That looks to be one of the better locks commented on by the 'Lock Picking Lawyer' - he is a genius lock picker and even with specialist tools, it took him around 75secs to pick that lock (which makes it one of the better locks out there, believe me!). You can watch his video here - he has a...

@Planemo - I recently changed my wife's Pendleton 790 controller and display to something from the KT stable - it transformed the ride experience - you can read my write-up here if this is something of interest? And of course I now have the original 790 display and controller going for spares...

Nice one and we look forward to hearing about the whole project in more detail including the kit you purchased and how the ebike ride experience turns out.

I've always fancied a Koga - I love the trad look. For those with deep pockets, Santos (Santosbikes.com) do a nice range of bikes suitable for touring including some with the Rohloff IGH and Belt drives - now where's my lottery ticket :cool: .

I am a cycle tourist and when I go the ebike route for a tourer, I shall convert my steel Dawes Super Galaxy because that is a bike that I know is comfortable to ride for many consecutive days. Compare this to the trials and tribulations of finding a new tourer, ebike or otherwise.

I would think the most accurate device for measuring your speed is something like one of the Cateye cycle meters in which you can enter the exact (to within a cm) circumference of your cycle tyre. Update rates are very fast too.

Should be but probably a generalisation based on average tyre, tyre pressure, tyre profile ...... And what speed are you seeing this difference at? GPS requires a bit of time to do the calculation - such a small error is splitting hairs imho.

Thanks for the explanation @vfr400 - in the C1 table I can see that the waveform for the right hand columns are the inverse of the other waveform, so I'm guess that some PAS systems produce a negative pulse when the magent passes the hall sensor, or a positive pulse? For any particular PAS...

OK, so I'm learning ebike techical stuff as much as my aged brain allows so apologies if this question is rather tedious? I recently upgraded the display and controller on a Pendleton eSomerby to the KT-LCD5 + KT compatible controller but kept the Pendleton 12-magnet PAS and for this I set...

Thanks @Nealh - that's just the sort of unit I was looking for - order placed - hopefully it'll arrive before Boris or Xi Jinping fall out too much. I don't have a Busch and Muller unit to compare it with though (and I'm not likely to either :confused: ). And the little red jobbie for the rear...

Thanks @vfr400 - I will heed your advice. What this thread needs is recommendations and pointers to lights that are a fair price, don't blind oncoming road users but give a useful beam for unlight road riding - anyone?

When the cheap Chinese CREE lights first started to become popular on UK roads, they were often criticised for the glare they caused to on-coming road users (including cyclists of course). So when I bought one I also bought a Fresnel Lens which gave it a nice horizontal cut-off similar to what...

True enough - I've not been on this forum long and already I am able to sort the wheat from the chaff (or maybe the salt from the vinegar?). Anyway, back to the original posting - obviously most just use the 'light output' from the controller for ...... lighting:D. So guess what, I think I'll...

Hi @RobN -nice writeup - I've not heard of nccyles - googling brings up a number of places in different locations - where is the place you got your kit from please?

Oh blimey - whilst I was typing the above, matters seem likely to be getting out of hand - thanks to all for your contributions and opinions though.

I'd be interested to read that article but from the way you describe the action of that device, it sounds like a switched mode power supply aka buck converter. These devices don't 'waste' voltage, they alter the voltage. The buck converter will in itself use some level of power - whether that...

As this thread grows, it would be useful if members also included what their bike/system was, especially when their system had been trouble free (then we'll know what to buy/avoid).
