The americans don't have any trouble importing cheap Chinese bikes with freewheels not cassettes... I ordered mine direct from DNP and the postage was bad but not too bad. They even built me a special cassette to my specifications, one off job! A 46:14 top is actually slower than 38:11 and a...

d8veh should cut back on his kitten habit... :rolleyes:

Wasn't pushing hard enough, didn't want to mess up the head of the screws. Thanks all is well now! 4 wires to buttons: black, red, yellow and green on the right above.

One last time? What does "200 W" rating mean? It means the motor will run all day (OK I exaggerate, make that 2 hours) without the temperature rising more than 2° Kelvin. It is a consumer protection rating guaranteeing you that your motor will perform at that power and lot less. Of course it...

Which half was it?

Yes I saw that. I was just hoping for photos to confirm. I will try and take one to bits.

What cells are they? The important thing when making a 3P10S battery is the Amp output of each cell. You won't want to draw too much current to prevent the battery from heating too much.

Thanks. Both my LCD-3s seem to have hard potting material over the screws I was thinking of heating up a screw driver blade to melt through to the screw?

Photos or it didn't happen! :D Did you happen to notice when you were in there how many wires the cable to the buttons has?

Expect the French people to ask their leaders to move the UK border to Dover any day soon now: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/03/border-treaty-migrant-surge-calais-violence We want you to take back control...

I had a similar one, you might have scratched the paint but I doubt you could dent the tubes.

Germans don't play rugby what are you on about? :p

It is about time those need to be registered in the same way guns need to be registered. Caught with one in the back of your white van and no registration you get to spend quality time in a police station interrogation room... </grumpy old man rant>

I have been looking into the transition to a 10 speed 11-46 but the big jumps are in the lower gears where I really feel, as you say, I need more gentle steps to stay in cadence. I find that I am using the 11 tooth very little on the trike because at cadence that is between 50 and 60 km/h and on...

Despite being invaded by the Romans, Germanic peoples, Vikings and Norsemen that came from Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the French and the Dutch? Lots of EU blood flows through the veins of an Englishman...:rolleyes:

As for electricity costs, at the local charge points the electricity is free between 23:00 and 6:00... That does mean getting less than 7 hours sleep to take advantage of it unless working as a team :)

While using less computer power than in your smartphone!

Sheep dogs learn very quickly not to pee on electric fences...

Yes they do, but different motor design. You don't want to stall a mid-drive motor. Ever. I put a second chainring on my GSM because I found a road where I could stall the motor less than 10 km from home (>17%) . You can also use much less battery on the small chainring by being in a lower...

Ever been to the Alps or the Pyrenees? I visited an appartement building this week, nice place except for the 300 meter long 17% access road. That is why you need two chainwheels.
