    Hub gears for my bike

    Happy with the results. Definitely easier than just Hub or Deraileurs for a commuter/tourer. Suspect if starting from scratch I would choose a Sturmey Archer F30.

    Hub gears for my bike

    Confirmation and Fixed. Do not set “Startup Dgree(Signal No.)” to "2" on BBS02 and possibly other controllers. Pedalling backwards will trigger forward motion on the motor.

    BBS02 Pedalling Backwards

    Confirmation and Fixed. Do not set “Startup Dgree(Signal No.)” to "2" on BBS02 and possibly other controllers. Pedalling backwards will trigger forward motion on the motor.

    Hub gears for my bike

    Found this earlier this evening. “Startup Dgree(Signal No.): 4\4\4\4\2” Karl, have you tried what happens when you pedal backwards? In my motors, setting this value to 2 will make PAS activate when pedalling backwards. That’s why I also keep it at 4 (or maybe 3). I'll check tomorrow if I set...

    BBS02 Pedalling Backwards

    Found this on an obscure forum. “Startup Dgree(Signal No.): 4\4\4\4\2” Karl, have you tried what happens when you pedal backwards? In my motors, setting this value to 2 will make PAS activate when pedalling backwards. That’s why I also keep it at 4 (or maybe 3). I think I set this to 2 last...

    BBS02 Pedalling Backwards

    Just changed over from Rohloff gears to SRAM DD3 gears, absolutely no changes to motor, battery or controller settings. All great, but pedalling backward at certain cadences kicks the motor forward when passing the sensor points, not serious, only noticeable at lights and junctions and on the...

    Hub gears for my bike

    First few miles were perfect, just as I thought it would work out. Actually the 3 IGH can be changed at reasonable pace also, but I refrained. I however was useless, moving from single 14 speed twist shift to 2 x triggers needs a little time. Interesting that although no motor settings were...

    Hub gears for my bike

    I have 3 Alfine bikes, so bought a 1 litre tin (even more expensive) and it will probably be part of my estate. But isn't that what pedelecs is for; splitting up litre tins into single changes and selling to members at cost?

    Hub gears for my bike

    Sturmey have one too ( http://www.sturmey-archer.com/en/products/detail/cs-rk3-black ). Knowing Sturmey, it maybe more sturdy and has the advantage of using normal triple front cable pull distances, hence any compatible shifter, unlike SRAM DD3 which took me a while to figure out as I didn't buy...

    Hub gears for my bike

    Just finishing my DualDrive3 Install today hopefully (from Rohloff). I'm using a 9 speed X5 rear with 11-28 cassette. Not necessarily permanent, depends on how it goes. I hope it's the best of both worlds - derailleur on the hill, IGH at the lights/junctions. Geared to ride in top(IGH) most of...

    3 Speed Shifters

    It should have been obvious to me that although these look the same, the cams inside have different pull ratios. The X5's are 11 and 8mm respectively as this is how far apart the front rings are (odd I thought they were the same). The DD3's are <5mm on both pulls (IGH). Anyway lucky the set was...

    Bafang Display

    Moving on, I am trying to investigate the Lishui bluetooth device which is an inline option to have all your controls and display via an app on your phone/tablet. So if I buy an android 7 inch tablet, get Lishui and Ordnance Survey to upgrade their apps to support split/dual screen...

    Bafang Display

    Don't really understand the size argument. The c961 is 107x58mm and the colour display is 90x60. OK the c961 is landscape but as such takes up more handlebar space.

    Bafang Display

    Mine was $65 from luna cycles, but add $12 for postage and the risk of duty, vat and PO admin fees (I was lucky), £70 from http://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/store/p29/850C_Advanced_colour_display_with_USB..html is probably better.

    How long should a chain last on a E-MTB

    Common sense would suggest the wear is a combination of torque, friction and quality. Hub gears should wear much less without the friction of derailleurs and a touring setup and style will help, I can vouch for this. However as someone else stated the torque of the 500w mid drive will stretch...

    3 Speed Shifters

    Sheldon Brown - "The DualDrive hubs and Spectro T3 are supposed to be used only with their proprietary shifters, but they have a pullrod, not a pushrod, suggesting that a conversion to use a pullchain might be possible." However this is the dualdrive not the newer dualdrive3 (which I have) and...

    3 Speed Shifters

    Having purchased a brand new wheelset with a SRAM dualdrive 3 cheap for a Bafang BBS02, I was aware it came with no small parts, shifters, cassettes etc. I have got most of what I need, but was considering a standard 3 sprocket front derailleur trigger as a pose to the dualdrive 3 speed shifter...

    Lishui Bluetooth Controller, programming the easy way

    They are not listed on your website and not sure they work on BBS02 ?

    Lishui Bluetooth Controller, programming the easy way

    I've recently got the colour controller DPC-14 and thought this woud be on it's way shortly whether it be bluetooth or USB(tricky). I am keen to try this out, well worth the smallish cost, however a couple of points. I am signed up to OS for maps and routes, so will need to switch between apps...

    SRAM DualDrive

    Excellent point, forgot about lights and junctions. Will re-equate for high.
