    BAFANG BBSO2 MOTOR PROBLEM

    So far I have only let my GF ride the GSM powered bike back from the supermarket - it is all downhill. She keeps asking me "When can I ride it to work?" and I keep playing for time... Cadence is so important on mid drives you really need to be in the right gear on steep hills and I can imagine...

    Rear brake pain

    It was over in the blink of an eye I must have been doing more than 20 km/h. I fell on my elbow which cracked a couple of ribs, hardly any scratches.

    Rear brake pain

    Lesson learned this week: never grab a big handful of HS11 on the front! :eek: I panicked and was going much too fast. One destroyed front wheel (cheap Decathlon) and lots of bruised bits including pride :oops:

    Glasses wearers please read.

    I wear prescription sunglass reading glasses when I go fishing. I had them made without polarization so I can also read maps on my tablet thingy. I have special treatment on my polarized fishing sunglasses which allows me to see about 4-5 metres underwater :)

    I have my own mail server (yes I know, silly idea, how un-modern of me...) so in order to preserve a bit of sanity I use Gmail. You can keep existing address(es) and have them forwarded to a Gmail account.

    Glasses wearers please read.

    Comes with several visor options including an auto tinting version which costs more than the helmet :eek: That is the "clear" visor and it is still a bit too tinted at night - the night before last I lifted the visor and within the first few metres got a moth in the eye... :oops: If you are...

    How to make a lightweight battery

    nkon - good prices, in the EU, fast shipping Samsung 30Q - there is 0.11€ difference between it and the 35E but the extra 5 Amp discharge is more important for me than the extra 500 mAh capacity. Say I had a 30 km daily commute or just need a tiny battery for knocking about town with about 35...
