I run a 42 on the front and it is a little under geared for me (700C with 2" Big Ben tyres) a 44 would be more suited. I do think that for round town use a 38 wold be perfect - range of speeds at cadence from 13 to 42 km/h

Crikey Tom! Two videos that don't make the page jump around unreadable! :p

You could swap out the controller for a 48v one and use a 48v battery. I say this because like me you have a high cadence and at 36v I have issues with back EMF. My motor is a BBS01 clone and has the same rated cadence. I now use 44.4v (12S) and the cadence is about right, I just need a...

They are designed to take the bumps out of a ride not to bob around, mine doesn't move a mm until it is needed. Never touched the spring setting, I am in the middle of the weight range for that particular spring.

I was going to say "what is CCTV?" Anyone need a Bosch motor? There is a bike which has been badly locked to street furniture just around the corner for about 10 days. It even has pigeon poop on the saddle...

One thing is clear for me, a compulsive label reader when it comes to food, no more UK food stuff in my home after brexit, I will no longer have the quality guarantees and EU consumer protection.

Hot rodding: Depending on the quality and heat resistance of the magnets, temporary loss of magnetism can start at 80°C and permanent loss at more or less 120°C. Standard ball bearings have a maximum operating temperature of about 120°C. Nylon gears also don't like excess heat, the best way to...

They have a room full of monkeys with polish and rags and they make them look like new and sell them to the next punter... :rolleyes:

Just think 28 countries and only the poor old UK lost their sovereignty joining the EU! How did that happen I wonder? Must be something in the water... Never mind soon you will be able to eat hormone injected beef and chlorine washed chicken to your hearts content!

No fear! I think the fear of gravel rash got to me at about age 12... Tyres must have been a lot better back then because we did some stupid stuff on bikes on the farm on the only bikes we had: Raleigh 24" "all purpose", mudguards dynamo, chain guard, the works. Opposite the house there was a...

If they insist on changing the motor it must be the clutch sticking and I am with flecc on this, why is the Bafang motor having faulty clutches only on those bikes? They make hundreds of thousands of motors every year. Clutches do stick from time to time, the other day I turned the pedal on the...

Unplug the controller from the wheel and go for a ride. Or two, or three... Ride far enough for the problem to either show up or not. If it doesn't then get a new controller.

Test the output with your multi meter! If it is a KT or a Bafang controller the output is usually 6v/3W decent lights require more. Mine is connected directly to the battery and will handle 49v despite being rated for 42v and the rear light gets its 6v power supply from the front light.

9 speed cassette 11-36 = 13€ 10 speed cassette 11-36 = 40€ Expensive extra cog! Same make (Sunrace) SRAM will sell you an 11-36 10 speed cassette for 241€ and Shimano for 200€ All prices bike-discount.de, why pay more? :D

Chinese frame for the moment - they are working on having it made in Machecoul - American tyres, Brooks seat and grips, BMZ battery, etc., etc... The spokes are French! :D The price is 1900€ because they only sell via the web (hello Gtech!) so cut out the middle man. They hope to have demo...

I'm sure the EU could write in a few special conditions: - you lose your soverignty - no longer willing to take the blame for everything - special higher rates or one off payement for all the faffing about since 2016... :D

I told you wanting a throttle would come back and bite you UK guys one day! :p We need to grab a few of those "motorbike" people, put them on a normal pedelec and say "£10 if you can climb that slope without pedaling, remember it's a motorbike"... I haven't read the article but I am guessing...

So you saw where I live yesterday? My training rides on the flat are to St-Pée-sur-Nivelle, about 12 km and a bit from home. I might try the 31 km ride at the end of the year but it is very dangerous when open to trafic, they all drive like baboons out that way... On the main road there is a...

CETA is a foul piece of business - the first cheese to arrive from Canada with AOP sounding names will have the French farmers out burning lorries on the roadside again that is a certainty. The whole "big business can sue government for loss of profit (estimated loss) in a private closed court"...

I changed from 8 to 12 and modified the setting in the LCD-3. Start up is smoother and quicker (less pedal rotation needed for 2 magnets to pass the sensor).
