    Bafang gear sensor

    Rumour has it that bbs00x controllers with a built in gear sensor connector (rather than spliced into the brake sensor) have better motor cut in-out characteristics I’m not convinced gear sensors are needed on a well setup derailleur. Useful on igh’s though Bear in mind if the sensor within...

    Hi everyone

    Couldn't you sidestep the issue by getting a suitably worded disclaimer for customers to sign?

    Covert carrera subway 1

    Easiest solution is to fit your existing (presumably) cassette onto the new hub, that way your existing chain / shifter / derailleur are 100% compatible

    Just collected my Cube, metal filings everywhere....what should I do?

    This is typical of Evans in my experience too. Evans flogged me a new £1k rohloff hub - the box was mangled, half the parts were missing & the hub had obviously already been laced. I told the manager that the customer shouldn’t be their final inspection stage - he just shrugged his shoulders...

    Real Bicycle Bells

    The halford black £6 tring tring is the best I think, and I’ve tried a few Decathlon do a similar silver version for £5 I think, but have a tendency to quietly ding as you ride along, which is annoying. Also there’s a ‘I heart my bike’ sticker on it, which isn’t helping my street cred

    Epiphany ... Müsing Ladies Rohloff frame

    Looks good, I’d be interested to hear how the shifting behaves under motor / pedal load Also, I’m unsure if it’s significant, but your hub spoke lacing isn’t as per the book - see below

    BBS02 ERROR CODE 30 - help needed

    I think it’s 1 to batt +ve 8 to batt -ve It’s only a continuity check so no damage will be done. It’ll be interesting to do back to back checks with your other controller Have a browse on bms battery for 48v kunteng controllers. I personally prefer the battery base controllers, but they may...

    BBS02 ERROR CODE 30 - help needed

    PS please consider an external controller when making any future purchases. In my experience the bbs controllers (new, old, whatever version) have nowhere near the level of tolerance to a dying/dead hall sensor as a kunteng controller

    BBS02 ERROR CODE 30 - help needed

    Could you check continuity between battery +ve /-ve and the corresponding pin on the 8 pin connector? Repeat with the flood damaged controller for reference You may have a (potentially repairable) wire break in the controller harness

    BBS02 ERROR CODE 30 - help needed

    The display should still switch on even with a caput controller The culprit could be somewhere else, eg 1-4 cable Try disconnecting the 1-4 cable (controller end), and test with a paper clip to power up the controller

    New in the workshop a SECOND GO at a FULL SUSPENSION conversion

    Really neat battery solution - where is it from? My xxl camber frame just about took a standard hailong 3 case, once the rear shock was inverted. I encased the bafang motor in mudguards from decathlon

    Convert carrera subway 1

    Yep my first conversion was a subway 1. They have a standard 68mm bottom bracket so will take a mid drive motor, as well as accommodate a hub motor should you wish to. My advise though would be to buy a donor bike specifically for conversion- full suspension, frame large enough for a down tube...

    Epiphany ... Müsing Ladies Rohloff frame

    It connects to a brake sensor- some wiring mods maybe needed Torque / cadence isn’t relevant- changing gear on a rohloff mostly won’t happen (ie shifter can’t be twisted) when the chain is fully loaded Of course if you’re happy to back off the pedals prior to each gearshift, then the gear...

    Sorry I can get a direct link, but this is the part you need, from Aliexpress. Overpriced at $39 but well worth it
