    Home made chain oil

    Green oil says this: Green Oil Wet Chain Lube now contains N-Toc, a special refined plant extract to increase durability, increasing the length of time between applications. I wonder if it is Phenolic Extracts of Olive Leaf and Exhausted Olive Pomace https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3921/11/2/204

    Home made chain oil

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    This is the link to the above information. https://e-bikestuff.com/en/products/217-tsdz2tsdz2b-motor-cooling-improvement-kit-premium.html This works out at roughly £80. Could you put holes in the outer case and not fully cover the holes with a cover to stop water ingress but still allow...

    Can you change the rim on a Mahle X20/X35?

    Try these guys https://www.ryanbuildswheels.co.uk/ If you tell people where you are based then people might be able to recommend somebody. If you are in Scotland then I would recommend Wheelcraft in Glen of Campsite, they built a front hub motor (I supplied the motor) wheel for me.

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    There's my thoughts. 1. Chainrings - people will make an adapter to fit standard chainrings as per BBS02 / HD. Make it that this is possible. 2.

    Scott or Haibike for commuting?

    My mistake, I was talking about axis but didn't look at the motor properly. Do you think the 9 speed will be ok for joining your boyfriend, the extra power of the motor will help. If you going to use it for communiting mostly then 9 speed is enough gears. Can you try any of them, the fit is...

    Help! BBS02 Build help advice needed

    I have the BBS02 and here are my thoughts. 1. Gear sensor: it improves the shifting but still not perfect gear changes for me. I am considering using an Alfine rear hub. 2. Gear changes: when I am approaching traffic lights or coming to a steep hill I go down gears (up the cassette). I don't go...

    Convert Bafang 44T to Gates drive

    Veer do a belt drive that joins together, on their website they show a biker with horizontal dropouts. I imagine with some bodging you could get it to work on a bike with vertical dropouts, maybe use a chain tensioner arrangement. One idea might be to add washers each side of the chain tensioner...
