    Removing controller from aluminium casing

    Not certain but I think the aluminium casing also acts as a heat sink. Removing it could result in overlheating.

    Strange PAS problem

    Thanks vfr400. Tried today with both brake sensors and throttle disconnected. Still getting the occasional power loss. Where would be a good place to monitor the 5v? All connectors are julet type. Will there be 5v at the brake sensor or throttle connections?

    Strange PAS problem

    Still having some intermittent issues with loss of power. Do pas sensors get ‘iffy’ or do they just fail completely. Adjusting the pas ring to sensor distance seems to alleviate the issue for a while.

    https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/tyres/26-x-175-inch-47559-schwalbe-marathon-plus-tour-hs404-tyre-26-inch-559/ Great puncture resistance and good for light off road and road. I’ve done about 4000 miles on a set without a puncture. Not the cheapest though!

    Woosh Faro Review

    Are there any plans to do the faro in a different colour to Matt black? My workplace shelters have clear panels and are like mini greenhouses. I can’t imagine a Matt black frame in full sun for 8 hours would be very good for the battery!

    Country footpaths and why not to ride

    Tell me about it. The other day I went down a bridle way and the farmer had erected his electric cattle fence across it about 4ft high!

    What chain for a Crossfuse ? (again)

    What I have done for the last 8000 miles (two changes of chain) is buy two identical chains that are too short (two few links). I split one of them into four and joined a quarter chain to the other full chain with a link. I then corrected the length at the other end so the joining links are not...

    Strange PAS problem

    I’ve done a bit more testing today. I’ve moved the pas disk a bit further from the sensor (about 2mm from 1). Just done a 20 mile test ride without issue. Can the distance of the sensor from the disk be too close? Maybe it’s just a coincidence!

    Strange PAS problem

    Evening all, I'm looking for a little advice. I have a Volt pulse rear hub bike with standard PAS ring and thumb throttle. For 90% of the time all works fine. Every so often (maybe 2 or 3 times in a 30 mile ride) the PAS stops working after a short period of coasting (no pedalling). The throttle...

    New Lockdown Rules in Wales .

    Has anyone actually been stopped by the police recently? Do they ask you where you live and do they check? I doubt it. You could easily say you live in the village you have just passed through!

    Did you then give the insurance money back? Otherwise the bike belongs to the insurance company !!!

    Tyre Choice

    ”Marathon plus tour” seem to be a good compromise for mixed road and off road use. I’ve been using them for a couple of years now with no issues (and no punctures). Hope I haven’t jinxed myself now!!!

    British cycling membership

    Thanks very much anyway. Seems to have gone through with the £10 off. Maybe remove your membership number from the open forum. There could be questions if you suddenly have 100’s of refferals !!!

    British cycling membership

    I’m looking at joining British cycling (mainly to get the discount at Halfords). In the sign up is a ‘referred by’ box to enter another members number. Does anyone know if this give the referrer or me any particular benefits above simply joining. I don’t know anyone personally that I could...
