    Transport Minster - new cycling policy?

    We would need to see what time of year is the most dangerous then we might guess that black ice and freezing cold canals may have something to do with it.

    Converting a Birdy Folder

    You can put the chainring you want/need on the motor with a spider. I have put one on the GSM (Bafang spider is compatible) and the chainline is quite good. Not as perfect as it might be but not presenting any problems. I have a 42 tooth on my 28" wheel bike, I think on a small wheeled folder I...

    Brose motor problems

    After a quick Google: There have been no reports of any problems since May 2016. On the French forums there are a few threads which talk of a software problem that was making cut off at 25 km/h a bit rough. A software update has apparently fixed the issue. There is no issue on the non...

    Anyone seen this? Hydrogen powered bike

    For the moment they are all going to la poste. I imagine they are paying a price way over and beyond what a mere mortal would be willing to pay for one. The plan is to have a a general public one "in 2017". My advice, don't hold your breath and start saving...

    Transport Minster - new cycling policy?

    Some people should just stick to scuba diving... When are you buying a bike again? You learn very quickly to be careful on a bike unless you are of a suicidal nature. Cyclists don't just die they are killed in the majority of cases. The cyclist is being careful because he doesn't have a...

    Stolen Bike Check.

    An electric bike without battery (and charger), keys and papers is worth next to nothing. I would offer £300 explaining that I can get a quite good MTB for that kind of money new from a shop. The parts are worth considerably more but as parts.

    Stolen Bike Check.

    Just an idea here, on a new bike like that I might add an extra stripe to the decor. Carefully mask off and paint so it looks factory. But if it ever goes missing it will be unique and would be easy to spot on auction sites. The pictures aren't good enough to see the colour of the valve caps...

    Imaxb6 quickie

    Search for "imax calibration" on Google and you will find the correct procedure to calibrate the charger. My chargers are off by about 0.6V, the battery comes off the charger at 40.9 V, except in balance charge mode where they are spot on so I didn't bother calibrating them for normal charge mode.

    Mine are set for 9990 mAh now because the capacity of my packs is 10000 mAh. It is a security feature to prevent overcharging and is was set to 5000 mAh on all my chargers of different types by default.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    100% sovereignty to: - pay less than a living wage to full time workers - remove consumer protection - stop protecting the environment - commit crimes against humanity That is what you want? Those are the only spheres where the EU intervenes.

    On a touring bike if it has a standard BB and you have the tools about half a day in the shed to fit the GSM from Woosh: Combo GSM 18A kit + 36V 15AH HL battery (offer, save £25): £628. Don't buy the smaller battery to save money the bigger the better with this motor. If your bike doesn't have...

    ebike theft and precautionary measures

    The guide figure is spend 10% of the value of your bike on security. Buy locks that are Dutch insurance company approved and keep the bills and take a photo of your bike locked as you usually lock it to show your insurance company in case of incident. I have a frame lock with plug in chain. As...

    e-bike specific chains on offer at CR

    I understand your cost concerns for 10 speed chains but the 6-7-8 speed ones are only 10€ or so as is the single speed chain for hub gear bikes. Yes that is still twice the price of a 5€ KMC but for road use the quality of the chain is at a whole new level I think it is the first chain I have...

    Sounds like the configuration option that cuts the charger after 5000 mAh of charge or specified time.

    e-bike specific chains on offer at CR

    You will have to drag my Wippermann Connex from my cold dead fingers! :rolleyes: I only have had experience of cheap bulk pack KMC and it isn't a good experience. I have been abusing the Connex chain for 1000 km now and it has been basically faultless.
