    Can you go to prison for murdering a chainstay?

    I'm sure I've done this in the past and I'd just clean the crank and epoxy it on but ensure the disc is the correct way round first so get it working before glueing.

    How about cut the middle out of the PAS disc and epoxy it to the crank arm?

    Rear derailleur problems

    I've just had your same problem and I traced it to the cable snagging slightly on the plastic cable guide under the bottom bracket. I've used this model for years and it seems ok. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132291904798

    After spending over an hour and a half everyday in all weathers on the bike, here is the same bike over 6 years and 25'000 miles later transported back to a normal bicycle.

    Can i use a single sprocket on the front crank.

    There's these chain guards to help prevent the chain coming off. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RSP-MINO-1-Top-Guide-Chain-Chainguide-Single-Ring-Band-MTB-Bike-CKU05/114223689076?epid=2022117389&hash=item1a98432d74:g:GAQAAOSwR5dXQ~dy but if you use a narrow-wide front chain ring you might not need it.

    Advice on bike mainly for commute

    From experience, I think a hub motor (like Woosh suggests) is a good choice for commuting to work rather than a mid motor.

    Contact spray for control unit

    I've used Holts from eurocarparts and that seems ok. As long as they leave no residue they are probably all similar.

    What's the best Map App

    I like viewranger which is free. Plot your route the evening before online and sync it to your phone, or download the free map area to your phone and record your track or create a route as you go.

    Shimano XT rear mech snapped

    The snapped fixing bracket is separate and called a derailleur hanger and you need the correct hanger for your frame/bike.

    ebike build from scratch

    I only removed the motorwheel, as an experiment for now so I can put the wheel back on in the future.

    ebike build from scratch

    Confession Time. I took the motor wheel off and have been riding it un-epowered for a while and am quite enjoying it. Only a few miles at a time though.

    Death of the derailleur?

    An MTB'er has good things to say about this gearbox bike but listening to it in a video it sounded like there was some resistance sound when pedalling. Also isn't it going to be considerably heavier than the deraileur method? https://www.deviatecycles.com/guide/

    KT LCD4 Bafang version.

    It's got the small round connector. Is there a convertor cable to plug into that and change to the small flat plug that my KT controllers have?
