    bafang bbs02b question

    There are videos about installing the BBS motors, immsmr on the woosh website. To add further to your troubles, if your chain is 3 years old it will be worn, the rear cogs will be worn too and won't take kindly to a new chain, the rear cogs block will need replacing too. Have a look at Park...

    Will street parties slow down my ebike?

    To avoid arrest by Royalist Cops, you need to put Not Mike King on your sign, that is also what to shout. Anything else will get you arrested. A van load of Not My King placards was mysteriously stopped at random on its way to Londonland, all confiscated! There shall be no dissent!

    Bike or Cycle?

    Anyone who has read The Third Policeman by Brian O'Nolan will understand the issues raised. He propounds that, over time, the molecules of the cycle interchange with the molecules of the rider, many of us are now half cycle or more. The issue arises when one sits on the saddle of a rider...

    Home made chain oil

    I once rented a couple of bikes on a Greek island, everything absolutely dry as a bone. Olive oil worked a treat, dripped onto chain, into wheelhubs and bottom bracket.

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    Heres a think, arising from a thread complaining about TS cover screws. Are you going to use Ph, pz or hex socket screws on the to7? The latter are preferable for long term maintenance. Ps I hope this isn't seen as trolling, others offering constructive criticism have been labelled trolls.

    Tsdz2 way too many problems.

    The first problem that strikes me is "Ph screws". Spawn of the devil. PZ screws are a bit more resistant to stripping the head, but best solution would be to replace with hex socket/Allen head, maybe stainless, when the motor is new. Hmm, worth putting a request into the to7 thread.

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    Yes, followed from the start. You have been asked questions that haven't been answered. While there may be some trolling, I don't consider posting screenshots of your ali express sales etc to be such. Some of the "trolling" is caused by frustration at the lack of straight answers. 36t cog comes...

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    As a bystander, no skin in the game, just interested, I see relevant questions being asked by someone who we consider knowledgeable and trustworthy, not answered clearly by "reps" from a new manufacturer, who then get arsey, calls it trolling when the unanswered questions are pursued...
