    Axle on BPM front too thick for dropouts

    Has anyone else seen this before ? I have standard 26 disc forks and an standard BPM front hub It fit fine on old bike but new one....Not a chance . As the title states the axle is too thick. Both old and new forks are standard, old school qr dropouts . Old are surly steel rigid and new magura...

    Need help bike not working :(

    Actually it really wasn't that clear. Anyway let's move on and try to get you rolling again. From the photos you have a major issue where the battery and receiver block meet. They are buggered by my reckoning The next step will be to test the battery alone. For this you need a fresh fuse and a...

    Need help bike not working :(

    If that's what you are doing then you'll blow the fuse . And why would you short the battery anyway ? What does that test other than the fuse I have to reiterate what has been said already. It's hard to follow What you saying and pictures here would really help. Folk on here are very very...

    Need help bike not working :(

    I'm not really sure what you mean. If you mean shorting the battery pins (ie the positive and negative) then yes, you will blow a fuse at best.

    Hub or crank?

    Tend to agree but I love my alfine and wouldn't be without it ! Bafang? Nope, tried. and tested. Very available, plenty of spares, loads of info on interweb Price aside , nothing not to like as an aftermarket crank drive

    How do I work this one out? Battery/Motor issues.

    Sounds like a knackered cell string (or more ) inside the pack which brings the whole pack down You'll need a multi meter to be sure by accessing the BMS board and testing the balance leads. They should increase in equal jumps e.g. 3.6v

    Not a bad deal..

    This bike was recently on a crowd fund site and in some tech press. This page has just stolen the picture it would seem and is a sure fire way to lose money at best and identify theft at worst

    My ebike shuts off when going over bumps, help please somebody!!

    My self and a colleague had this issue. Eventually, and I do mean eventually, both cases were a single broken weld between these cells. Easy fix ie a large blob of solder..... But a right bugger to diagnose It prob isn't this and poor contracts is far more likely. Worth bearing in mind all...

    Hub or crank?

    Ahh, also those forks look too narrow to take most front hubs. You need mtb / 100mm at dropouts . Plus not narrowing too quickly. I had to swap them forks on my Hybrid

    Hub or crank?

    They are likely to break from the torque /weight basically. You might get away with very low power motor but I wouldn't risk it Either ditch the forks and go front hub. Or crank and rear nexus. I have done both with an alfine 8 hub system. Crank systems are easy to fit. Not harder than hub...

    introducing the KTM Macina Fold

    At the risk of being shot down..... Isn't this incredibly masculine paint job ? And the market for step through folders such as this, I'd have thought, contains a large chunk of women who may be put off. Or indeed men The less kind version of the above is - it's like a 17 year old Essex boys...

    Front light for Bafang 6v supply?

    You could use a 5v usb powered solar storm. It's not as bright as d8veh option..... But it is very bright indeed. I bought mine for 4.99 delivered from China on eBay. Slow boat so 5 week delivery time. 2x cree u2 led inside. I use two of them. For serousb unlit off-road. It's plenty enough...
