    Argos E-Move - Anyone have any experience with these bikes?

    I bought two E-Moves from Argos. One was an Emove with gears and a downtube battery. It's be brilliant - no issues at all, and very nice to ride. It was a bargain at £340. The other is a 20" folding one. It's brakes were poorly set up, and the battery switch failed after a few presses, but I got...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Last spring, did you go to the weirs to watch the annual seal leap? Some of the seals struggle to make the 2 metre leap up the weir, so have to go back to the sea and deal with the salt.

    L Let's get one thing straight. The Loch Ness monster doesn't exist. How do I know? Simple, When the aliens landed in my garden, I overheard them discussing it with the fairies, and they said it was themselves that started the hoax. I wanted to hear more, but Bigfoot came along and scared them...

    Seals live in the sea. The only seals in fresh water are fed by humans in zoos and theme parks. Loch ness is a lake!.

    BMSBattery

    I got an email from BMSBattery today showing their new chargers. Some of them look pretty good. They also have some interesting phone holders and a nice 5kwh power station in the power station section. They still sell the Q100 and Q128 motors and the KT controllers with block connectors - all...

    "Gouach Infinite Battery, The Only E-Bike Battery You'll Ever Need"

    The worms are in premium condition at the moment because they're putting on weight from all the autumn leaves they're eating. Naturally, you have to go out early to get them before they're all gone.

    Bafang mid-drive not running well

    First, check out the pedal sensor connector in the controller compartment. If that's not it, you'll have to look at the pedal sensor itself and its wires.

    Help! Looking for a lightweight and compact conversion kit

    Surely, if you want to go trail riding, an MTB would be better? Just buy the cheapest one you can find as long as it has disc brakes and a triangle frame. Ideally, it should have 26" wheels and 7- speed gears. When you have a motor of any sort, you don't need fancy gears or anything like that...

    Spoke key

    The one on the left is better than the one on the right. I've used both types many times. The ones on the right seem to vary in size. when I've selected the 13g slot for my 13g nipples, sometimes they're nice and snug, other times they're too loose so they round the squares. 13g nipples are...

    I watched his video. He knew what he was doing. He got hold of the data sheet for the cells. All the cells were new, as they could only have been through one charge cycle at the most. |He had what looked like professional cell testing equipment and a proper 8-cell charger/ballancer that gave the...

    He will win the vote, but they can't let him win. They have five options: 1. Take him out 2. Cheat in such a huge amount that it's unplausible. They'll get caught and accuse everybody that points it out of misinformation. 3. Not accept the result and end democracy. 4. Nuke Russia. 5. Fake an...

    Testing (rear wheel) motor

    I sometimes test by clamping the axle in a vice, though you have to be careful to keep the cable away from the rim.

    I'd say that you'll receive 8 brake pads - two for the front and two for the back plus a complete spare set.

    Spoke key

    The most important thing is that you get one where the square that grips on the spoke is diagonal and not square, like this one, but it obviously needs to be the right size for your spokes, typically 14g or 13g: Wrong type with square not diagonally orientated:

    Fixing older wheel & controller, are all hub motor transistors similar?

    I think people are getting mixed up because you're calling the hall sensors transistors. If there's a suspicion of cable damage, you can check the yellow hall sensor function and supplied voltage at the hall sensor itself inside the motor. All thos hall sensors work the same, so should be OK...

    There are no seals in Loch Ness. It's freshwater and there are hardly any fish for them to eat anyway. Look at the size of the buildings. That disturbance in the water is massive.

    It's such a sad story, but the memes all over Twitter are very funny, and it's a very powerful political tool. First, they were eating your pets, now they're coming to assassinate your pets.

    For Sale Bargains

    Hmmm, interesting comments. I see it differently. Those cheap gears are extremely reliable. I've had them on many bikes. They run for years without adjustment, and I've never seen the gears wear out. You don't need fancy gears on a bike when you have a motor to help you out. Next, despite...

    29er MXUS XF07 wheel build, good idea, bad idea?

    If you want to build a bike to meet your needs, it's better to do it properly with the stuff you need, not just use what's on hand or what's cheap unless you're really pressed for funds.
