Cool We call them fridges (5 degrees C) in the U.K. as well, as against freezers (-18 degrees C) I would hestitate to put any sort of battery in a freezer! Batteries are like people, they work better when they are warm. "Two nations divided by a common language" so said George Bernard Shaw...

Brainwave I have 20 cells, all separated (I have prised the links off) from my old Lafree battery & I presume one cell is a dud, I also have a redundant Windsor case, because I took the battery pack out of it to re-cell my Lafree. The way the Lafree suddenly faded, 23 miles one week 4.5 the...

I have just come across this site for batteries & chargers. 24V 13Ah NiMH Battery Pack ( 20xF) for Hi-Power E-Bikes or Robots - EB-H24VF12A Derrick - Llanberis

Lights various pt2 Having read all the info. on Reelights I have decided not to buy them, but I have 19 D cells from my old Lafree battery (assuming it was just 1 cell that caused it's premature end) & will have to design a system that can make use of some of them. Anyone got any ideas...

Has anyone had any exprience of the Reelight system advertised on Bikefix - the bike shop on your desktop My Lafree has a bottle dynamo, which does the job, the two problems with it (as most of you will know) is the drag & when you stop so do the lights. Derrick - Llanberis

Esge propstand The one thing I doubt about this propstand is that it can be used i.e. parking the bike, whichever side of the bike you are on? On my present Lafree you must be on the left to use it. Derrick - Llanberis

Not such an odd question Nexus 8 Fitting Kit The fitting kit includes CJ-8S20, and right and left nuts, anti-turn washers, snap ring and drive cap. You have to specify fittings for; Horizontal and 20” dropouts (SM8R20H) 20” and 38 degree dropouts (SM8R20) Vertical dropouts (SM8R20V)...

More advice needed The pedals that come with the Lafree Twist are Wellgo moulded resin type, they are unsuited for any sort of toe clip (you would have to drill holes through the resin) can anyone tell me which pedals I should consider buying (not to expensive please) for a very ordinary...

Dropouts on the Lafree Twist Can anyone tell me the angle of the dropouts on rear of the Lafree Twist? Derrick - Llanberis

Oops I have just realised where the slotted metal strips go! The last pair of toe clips I bought (15 years ago) were the pressed metal type, coated in plastic (PVC?) these Elite mini-clips are the first moulded ones I have ever purchased, & that is my excuse! But the drawing on the back of...

I own a Giant Lafree Twist with the 3 speed Shimano hub gear & I am thinking of having a new wheel built with the 8 speed Shimano hub gear fitted. 1. Has anyone out there done that: is it straightforward, if not what are the snags? 2. The Lafree has a single leg "kickstand" on the left & would...

Reply to DBCohen Hello David, I haven't taken them back yet, but I will have to because I cannot fit them to the pedals on my Lafree Twist (they are resin moulded pedals) even if the Elite mini-clips kit was complete I could not attatch them to the pedals, I have to buy new pedals. Halfords...

To beeps Hello beeps, You have mistaken the wording of the e-mail I sent to Halfords. I did get the rectangular strips with the slots in them, they go on the inside of the pedal & make a hard surface for the nuts, but I referred to the moulded rectangular holes in the pedal clip. If you...

I bought a pair of Elite toe clips from your Bangor (N.Wales) store yesterday, while I think they will serve the purpose for which I bought them for, I cannot fit them because the rectangular holes that are moulded into the clip are larger than the outside diameter of the cap screw which...

Regenerative braking The new Twists 1.0 & 2.0 can trickle charge the battery, that is when going downhill. Does anyone know any other hub motor bike in which this is provided, you just press a little button on the handlebar control. One of the first questions that people always ask me is...

More on the Windsor / Lafree battery re-celling The fuse (see photo) has to be left in place, or a link soldered in place of it otherwise the charger can't charge! I discovered this first hand, there is enough room for the fuse in the Lafree case if you don't want to take it off, you would then...

Windsor battery pack query 2 Thanks pedelec guru. Derrick - Llanberis PS Has anyone tried the Cyclone motor kit; it looks interesting?

I have got my new NiMH (Windsor) battery & unsoldered the connections as instructed in Re-celling an NiMH Battery, but there is a fuse which is not mentioned in the instructions, does it matter whether this fuse is left in place or should I unsolder it? See the attached photo. Derrick -...

The new Giant Twist Hello Dean I am the owner of a Lafree Twist & I was looking forward to the new Twist, but after a ride on one I changed my mind. What Giant should have done is fitted a MUCH BETTER HUB MOTOR & added a throttle to the pedelec. I like you have health problems & it would be...
