I converted a similar vintage anthem, but used the XL frame size. As you can see, the Hailong battery only just fitted. If you can figure out how to squeeze a downtube battery in, you'll have a great bike I ran a q128c rear hub with standard bottom bracket & a single 52t chainring, no problem...

I’ve finally got a method to resolve squeaky disc brakes (hydraulic) - remove pads, scrub with soap / nail brush. Blast it dry with heat gun until it stops smoking - brake cleaner & rag on rotors - 200 yard full power brake drag to bed the pads in, get em smokin’ :) Metallic pads & m315...

Good point, a custom torque arm inserted inside the non drive side rear drop out looks do able. Would need to establish if there’s a similar boss on the drive side - inserting a custom torque arm here would be more challenging

Sadly I think woosh is correct. The days of bolting a motor rear hub onto a high end mtb frame are becoming a thing of the past - the 135QR standard has fallen from grace is seems

Yes I’ve had welds fail on a rear pannier holding a battery It’s fixable by drilling through the failed weld & bolting through, using a piece a flat aluminium to tie it all together I think vfrs correct- the welds fail as one or more of the pannier rack nuts work loose in service. Nylocs...

Yes I’ve found this one is plug & play with kt controller (higo connector, battery base type) This listing has kt compatible, high quality pas sensors too US $11.99 | Waterproof Electric Bicycle Pedal Assist Sensor E bike Double Hall 12 Magnet Left/Right Side PAS System DIY eBike Modified...

I know it's a daft price, and install requires drilling & tapping of the BB frame area, but this one will work flawlessly with your standard BB https://www.ebike-solutions.com/en/shop/pedelec-e-bike-parts/cadence-sensors/octalink-cadence-sensor-set.html

My front lights are wired direct to the battery. I use spare 9 core motor wiring I had lying around : 3 (thin) hall wires for the throttle, and 2 (fat) phase wires for the lights. I use 2 front lights, one via a handlebar (wuxing) switch which is used on country lanes & selectively in the day...

Fantastic job

100% agree. A smear of silicon grease essential on the 108x moving parts. The 108x is the only (non twistgrip) throttle I’ve found with any degree of water proofing

I have that exact model - very bright. Not used in pitch black as yet

Is that a rear diff?

To be fair, reapplying grease to bbsxx I don't think is unreasonable. The alternative of using steel gears in an oil bath would add weight / cost / size My 36v Bbs02 with external kt controller (22a max), displayless with 108x throttle & waterproofed external Pas has survived last winter &...

I contacted both Plod called me back 2 weeks later, a week after the eBay auction ended, to tell me they couldn't / wouldn't have intervened anyway Still waiting to hear back from eBay

Looking at your photo, you have the option of creating pas wheel clearance by grinding some metal off the inside of the crank arm

Maintenance free 50k miles - no chance Sadly all these Chinese sourced parts just aren't engineered to give that level of longevity. Almost everything I use receive from China needs pulling apart & greasing, then waterproofing etc The one advantage is that mostly the parts are super cheap...

Does anyone know when the next Aldi cycling sale starts?

Don’t be tempted to use the motor until all mechanical noises are resolved You’ll have to troubleshoot yourself- repeat the motor spin test after incrementally removing drive gears etc - eventually the culprit will reveal itself

The bbs motors are available in different widths, to suit the width of your bottom bracket. If there is an issue with a clash between chan ring & chain stay, spacers are available to position the motor slightly outboard of the bike to resolve If your trance has a pressfit bb, it’ll be a...
