Thanks, I will take a look. Stupidly I've been disconnecting the motor nearer the controller to remove the wheel so it would be useful to know where this is anyway. Right spokes and power connector, thanks for giving me things to go on.

Oh wow that is quite compelling, ok I will definitely check this. I suppose the fact it only happens under load and not in the stand may lend itself to the spoke theory.

Hmm I would be surprised if this is the case as it only ever makes the noise under power and only then when it is working hard i.e. up a hill or against a headwind. I will check though as it cannot hurt.

That is the last thing I would have checked but having taken it out today and noticed it yet again I will definitely give it a go. Now to just work out exactly what you mean by the motor plug :oops:

Hello all I have had this kit for about 6 months now and until recently was using it a couple of times a week to do about 15miles in that week. All was going well and am broadly happy with it (wish the acceleration was a little more rapid but that is minor). With the recent circumstances I was...

Ahh, well I had to put a washer on the inside of the drop-out on the drive side because otherwise the chain hit against the drop-out in the smallest cog. Why would this cause a knocking noise?

My worry is that the sound is caused by an incorrct setting that i accidently changed! It seemed ok this morning so maybe it just makes that noise. I checked it wasn't the case it was rubbing somewhere as that is what it sounded like but there was no sign of rubbing. I will check every single...

Yes i will and I am not entirely sure i changed anything but right at the start i didn't know how to get the throttle only setting and might have changed other settings whilst trying to go through the menu to get to the right setting for this. I will write down all the settings and put them on...

Thanks for this. In case I have mucked any other settings up is there a way to restore to defaults and will those defaults be set by Yose Power or by the LCD manufacturer?

Haha fair enough, I know I was just experimenting today.

Last one in the Klang Yose saga i promise but I had the bike up on the stand yesterday to fit the PAS and the new front brake and with the motor under power it doesn't half make a racket! It is quite a mechanical sort of sound, clunky really and at first made me think the bearings were gone...

I agree but i don't have a grinder and I wasn't keen to grind my classic Deore XT crank as it is sentimental to me. Anyway, problem solved with a £6 replacement and a spare BB bracket I found laying about which has a much more flush to the frame finish. Did my first PAS ride in today and i...

I actually just took one last roll of the dice having previously spent money on a new bottom bracket and got a new crank arm (only £6) and what do you know I can now fit the PAS on even on my old 110mm bottom bracket! As a (seemingly bad) amateur bike mechanic I'm embarrassed I didn't think of...

Nice, I remember maguras back in the day, they were the most have. Didn't realise they were still going but I'll take a look. Still got my eye open for a good second hand donor bike though just to avoid more bodging and further money after bad.

Thanks that's a good tip. Don't have a dremmel but maybe I'll be give it a go with the hand file and a lot of patience.

Very sage advice and one I will follow, thanks. My old deore v brakes were good at one point but now I think there must be better. I've also got the front disc on order. I'm giving up with the PAS sensor for now as even with the 122.5mm width bottom bracket it still causes too much friction...

One area I can't really change is the rear brake which is a plain old v brake. My frame doesn't have disc brake mounts and the v brakes just don't feel up to it at all. I've got a front mount on my fork so might go for decent brakes there but it does mean that I'm slowly wearing away the rim...

Thanks for your vote of confidence in the bike I'm sure you're right and I just have to get used to the different feel of the bike.

Thanks PC that does make feel a little better. I'm sure I'm worrying over nothing but sometimes it just feels all too much for the frame /shocks especially as the fork and headset haven't been looked at once in the 20 years they've been in service! Keep thinking that now 29ers are all the rage...

In other news I'm not sure I made the right choice with this kit. My donor bike is feeling a little ropey with all the extra weight and any time I try to find something more robust it usually has 650 or 700cc wheels. Add to that the fact it has no rack or disc mounts and I'm starting to wonder...
