    Review Bafang BBS01b 250w DIY fitting - traps, pitfalls and review

    I think Bafang should offer a standard and pro kit, the pro would have: Gear sensor Better quality crank arms Better quality chainring Programming cable I am sure they do a deal with Shimano, SRAM, Sunrace etc.

    Review Bafang BBS01b 250w DIY fitting - traps, pitfalls and review

    I do wonder if Bafang take any notice of users comments as I feel the kit is not complete in its present form. This could be seen as fine tuning, it also could be seen as having to spend extra money to get it to work in sync with other components.

    Schwalbe winter tyre review

    The GT series have a softer compound so may suit you better, I might change to the GT tyres all year for this reason and I also dislike changing these tyres. I think all the tyres mentioned have a trade off, softer compound is less hard wearing but better grip.

    Review Bafang BBS01b 250w DIY fitting - traps, pitfalls and review

    I think the kit is very good but I think they can improve it by doing the following 1. Include a gear sensor in the kit 2. Get Shimano to supply them with crank arms and rebadge them Bafang. 2. Get Shimano to provide them with a better quality, lighter chainring. Even if they marketed this as a...

    Ebike on smart turbo trainer.

    Could you buy a small round magnet or remove the spoke magnet and stick it on a spinning piece of the turbo trainer. Buy a seperate Bosch spoke magnet and cut it at the end so it is just the magnet, no spoke thread / attachment. I don't know if yo can remove the motor sensor pickup on the chain...
