    Regarding mountain bike disc brake caliper can use for 20 inch wheel?

    If the mount are standard, and they look it - you should be able to fit those calipers and the 160mm rotors without any issues.

    How do I, Should I?

    1x - Means 1 chainring on the crank. You have 3x on your existing crank. If you are planning a mid-drive, check the fit on the frame, width of the bottom bracket and the chain line with the rear cluster, so you can order the appropriate motor to get ‘best fit’ and minimal wear on the...

    Water inside Hub - how to clean

    That looks gnarly! Before you clean it up properly, it might be worth trying to check the state of the windings and connections in the motor itself. You can probably wipe away most of the congealed grease with some kitchen towel before taking the rest of it apart. The windings etc., need to be...

    How do I, Should I?

    That looks like a one-piece crank/spider. Not sure what the benefit of changing the large ring to a 44 - looks like you have a 28 and 38 inner and middle ring. Are you planning to go 1x?

    Hi from sunny Hull

    If you sent the dimensions of the gear to an ebike supplier that does motor parts, they may be able to help provide a replacement.

    Hi from sunny Hull

    I am no expert on mid-drive motors, but is that something like this: https://bmsbattery.com/parts/635-gear-set-for-bafang-k5-swxu-swxh-motor-ebike-kit.html

    Hi from sunny Hull

    That’s what I mean - there isn’t a dealer in the UK. You might get somewhere by speaking to a European supplier. They may be able to help out with parts that you can get fitted locally. Do you know what the issue is?

    EBike curious; but am i too ambitious!?

    If I was converting a Camino, I would go for a Q100CST rear hub motor with 201 rpm (for the torque). A 36v battery, with 10ah or so should see you to 25 miles, especially with your ftp. You can recharge the battery at work? I am going to convert a Giant Toughroad for the spring, using the same...

    Yosepower hub kits.

    I can do a flat 23-mile route in 70 mins with a Q100C (328rpm) rear hub motor and a 36v/6.8ah battery. Admittedly, the battery is empty at the end of the trip. So, to avoid ‘range anxiety’, you might want a 10ah battery. So, yes, doable, probably for between £300-350 with a self-build project.

    Cassette fitting lube?

    Well, the good news is that they will only fit on the freehub one way! Wasn't the retaining screw secure? I usually put a thin coating of copper grease on the freehub body before sliding the cassette on.

    Yosepower hub kits.

    Sounds like you need to service the freehub, if the pawls are sticking. Oil or WD40 might do the trick - short term. Getting the freehub off the axle might be as simple as removing the drive-side axle bolts and pulling the freehub off, or you may need a removal tool. If you are handy with...

    LED880 Controller compatibility

    Yes, I was thinking so. My LED890 works fine with this controller, and the only difference between the 890 and the 880 displays seems to be the speed indicator.

    LED880 Controller compatibility

    Anyone know if the 880 led display unit can be used with an S-06S sine wave torque simulation controller, and if not, why not.

    Help! Bottle battery On/off switch stuck.

    Can you check the switch works with a meter? And also check continuity from the switch to the pin on the output socket. Sounds like the switch itself is the problem if it is stuck on. You can probably find a replacement rocker switch easily enough and then just do a straight swap - if that is...

    25 mile round trip commute advice please?

    If you are interested in going down the ‘self-build’ route, then a £1k budget will get you a hub motor, good battery and a hybrid bike along the lines of a Boardman Hyb. If you bought the bike second hand, the cost would probably be around £600.

    Wisper 905 rear wheel/rim.

    559 equates to 26”. The width, 18, depends on the type of tyre you want to use - off the top of my head, an 18 rim should take from a 28 to a 40-42 width tyre. So, if you are running an mtb tyre, look for something wider.
