Hey so I went and bough a bafang bbso1 250w, I plan to overclock this and hear that you can get speeds up to about 28 mph. For these kinds of speeds do I need hydraulic discs or would mech ones be good enough, I already have the fork, rotars and normal levers. I can grab the Avid BB7 for £25...

Wait isnt the magura a V brake in hydraulic mode?

Would the magura hs33 be strong enough for some hardcore motor use? Im thinking of upgrading to either a 350w middrive bbso1 or a 500W rearhub by cyclotricity. I think the fastest I can get out of my 36v batteries is about 25-26 mph.

Hey so saw this kit, what speed would I expect from it? I will be getting a new bike, does anyone know of frame material matters or can I go for a carbon road bike? Iv busted ally forks with hub motors before wonder if these mid drives have simular problems...

Guess ill just throw cantis on then unless the magura comes in a road bike version.

Hey so currently running sidepulls. Managed to find a threaded fork with v brake/canti post and my frame can support cantis. Should I go for V brakes (would require new levers) or would cantilevers be as strong? My bike is an old steel racer for reference. The sidepulls do ok with modern...

sweet thanks for the advice. How do you secure your battery inside the bag?

Hey so I have a bottle battery on my bike which I have been carrying in a frame bag. However thats starting to tear and I dont want to place it in the downtube as the steel is dented there. Would I be able to place it on a pannier bag attached to my rear rack?

its a small geared hub 250w

Hey so to cut the story short a car run over my fromtwheel meaning I need to get my wherl rebuilt. Now I gave the guy at the bikeshop a single wall alloy rim with 36 holes. He said hes unsure whether it will be able to support the extra weight of the motor for long. What do people think?

Is there a way to check if its 36/48 compatable? On the website they sell 250w/500w controlers that are 36v and a 1000w 48v controller. So assuming my current controller is 36v only would buying the 1000w controller be the correct next step?

Looking at the website my current controller (250w) has a max amp rating of 14 (Maybe that would be 14amps X 36v for 504 watts. The 500w version has max amps of 22 amp current (22x 36 for 792 watts). What im unsure of is if this has any relevance to the size of the battery I can run. So if I...

On another note. Im not sure if im doing my maths correct but would I be able to get some more power out of my current fronthub if I switched to a 48v battery or would I just fry my controller or motor? If im correct my motor would go up by 33% to 333 Watts. Or am I incorrect and this would not...

So should be able to do this easily with 2X 17ah batteries + my bottle 10.4ah? Is there a way to find out what your efficiency for the battery is? Im not able to see my % of battery power.

thanks for that advice. Out of interest what is your motor a d battery size?

So how much power do ppl think I would need? I do want to do this journey somehow amd wont be able to manage it on a road bike. I read somewhere that its roughly 20 watt hours per mile, which means I would need 2000 watt hours without peddalling at all so not sure with me peddling how much i...

Hey so I currently run a 250w fronthub cyclotrocity. Its ok gets me about 20 mph on flat but I want a bit more. Would 350w or 500w be enough to get me 30 mph if I peddle hard? Also whats the problem with direct drive? Do they stop you peddling then or is cycling them fibe on power mode 1?

Hello so I soon plan to go from london to bathand was thinking, instead of taking the train I could take the bike. Its an 11 hour cycle and 129 miles for the journey. I currently work as a corrier sometimes doing 9-10 hour days that is around london. Now my bike is an old road racer with these...

I have 1 1/8 threadless fork. I didnt fit it the guy in the LBS did, ill probably fit the next one myself. Are steel forks strong enough to survive if they are not installed properly? In regards to the torque arms are they meant to face up into the dropout or can they just sit in the dropout...
