I have just started wearing a peaked cap (although I got an actual cycle cap) under my cycle helmet this week and can say what a difference in the sun, I should have started doing it years ago. These have the front peak built in. https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HEOOEND/on-one-enduro-mtb-helmet...

This looks a good project with the finished bike looking like a purchasedf eMTB. Not looked at prices yet though, but must be cheaper than purchasing an equivalent looking one.

Another great project Nealh. Got any pictures of the whole bike?

I like the gear cutoff too after I fitted one but could do with it keeping the power off for about another second longer.

Thanks for the info, I have often wondered what that white grease is inside a motor.

Motor is refitted, up and running nice and smooth. Great result.

The first email I found bounced back, but I found another email and Bonnie replied straight away with this one bonnie@xiongdamotor.com.cn she is very helpful and speaks good english

Xiongda told me the gears have been re-designed to make them stronger and so will not fit in my motor inners anymore, so they have sent me a whole new motor inner and it has been delivered already. Excellent customer service from them.

Did you get a Malectrics one, or never went for it after trying to fix yours. I wonder where all the heat goes in this new one since mine needs a fan blowing over it. I wish mine had a 2 pronged probe though, would be much easier like this new one.

I don't think the hub got hot because I checked it a few times when I used to mess about on it and it was only hand warm. Even if he kept it on a high PAS level it should have handled it as he's only small but yes there is some hills on his paper round which he finds hard, especially on 'double...

The motor has failed after 147 miles. At first I thought it was the bearings until I opened up the motor and found this. Have emailed Xiongda about some replacment gears.

It's a quality bit of kit and I think you will be pleased with it. Mine came in only about 4 days over christmas. I got it thinking it would be the cheaper option for me since I already had lipo's to power it, but then realised I had no 3S's and also non were at least the recommended 60C+ So...

Would you use a BMS with a self built 44v, I can't seem to find one or would you continue balance charging. For wheel lacing I can recommend this book. https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/wheelbuilding/book.php

A saddle bag with a wire hole in the bottom, something like these. Obviously check the sizes are suitable for your controller though...

Yes I get exactly the same problem because my cable points up too, although my problem is when it's freezing and the rear brake cable freezes solid so am down to front brake only. As Nealh says above some hydraulics will sort it. I got some of these for £20 each, just havent got round to...

Maybe set one of these to 41v but as others have said the cells will not balance so you would need to do a full charge every several or so cycles (set it to 42v or use your existing charger) just to ensure the cells are balanced every now and then...

Direct from Parktool. Its the PR1 (Parktool Rock 1) and a bargain for about £100. I've got genuine spare ones here you can have for only £20 though if you want.

This would eliminate the hanger. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/x-tools-pro-gear-hanger-alignment-tool/rp-prod122319

It's going really good and considering it's based on a cheap Halfords bike I am quite impressed overall. The gearing is great for off-road and getting up some steep muddy sections, or even through any deep mud. Ideally I would like the chainline a bit better as when in 1st gear the chain...

Time to get out and burn off some excess calories.
