I am finally ready to solder the new BMS. I'm quite happy about the C P & B wires - straight replacements. But reading through everything again before I started I was not sure I had understood everything you has said. My existing balance harness plug goes red to white to black. The cumulative...

Is that because the Disc is warped & letting the calliper have free sideways movement allows the pistons to track the shape of the disc?

Agreed - I use the original low powered LEDs for flashing. I think that studies have shown that flashing lights are more likely to be seen, but they only need to be seen not blind.

Finally my solution to the fuse box. I ran the wires into a waterproof box. Used an inline fuse holder This is still a work in progress hence the screwed connectors, as I intend to add additional electrical items as & when needed.

When using the XT60s its best to have both parts connected, so that when soldering the pin does not move. I used this adaptor (as I wasn't sure which type would fit on my bike the best) as the other part. a- It makes it easy to ensure you solder the correct coloured wire b-It acts as a heat...

In order to power these lights I need to access the main battery. I had been considering this for six years, but never felt comfortable, until I was forced to change the battery. The new battery came with bare leads, so I purchased a set of Anderson connectors to match the existing Motor leads...

I got & fitted a set of these lights. My feedback Front light - I purchased the one with a switch, which is easily accessible whilst cycling. Advantages - nice & bright on unlit country roads - sufficient for say 15mph, I would use additional lights for travelling farher or faster. Disadvatages...

You can use these if you have a hot air heat gun https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-4-Sizes-Solder-Seal-Heat-Shrink-Butt-Wire-Connector-Terminal-Waterproof-Kit/202731895782?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I did a previous post, thinking that I could find a helmet with a good sun visor. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/cycling-helmet-with-sun-visor.34981/#post-508080 having checked them out, they did not offer any advantages over my existing helmet. Now that the low sun is back I thought...

I think that we would like that to be true & believe that it is true, but I have not seen any evidence. Every single car driver breaks the speed limit every single time they drive! I'll explain my reasoning - the limit is say 20mph, the only way not to exceed that would be to drive at say...

trial is due 24 February 2020. Based upon an illegal ebike = motor vehicle. https://road.cc/content/news/267863-london-e-bike-rider-court-accused-causing-death-pedestrian-dangerous-driving

Made the switch wires from the BMS into a loop, to turn the battery on. Went for test ride - 100 yards max 100 watts = power loss. So switch also now ruled out as the problem. Ordered a new BMS. Started to read up about how to replace a BMS. I must say I am really learning a lot from all of...

Ok - pulled switch connector off BMS - no power showing on battery outputs. So the easiest way to make a bridge with the connector back on the BMS is to unplug the switch & use two connectors with a short bit of wire in-between. I should then get voltage on battery outputs & can give a test...

many thanks

many thanks

lifted the red card, used a lolly stick to ping the welds, all felt fine

There are two plugs on the BMS. Mutlipin with the sense wires Double pin to the on/off switch. Can I just clarify, before I do anything, that your suggestions is to pull the double pin plug off the BMS, stick a volt meter on the battery case connectors to check voltage & then take a test ride...

https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/power-cutting-out-on-bbshd.35681/ My previous thread was trying to find the fault - & suggestions lead me to firstly check the battery. As it was an intermittent fault, the only reliable way was with a replacement battery, which I purchased, & has allowed...

I anticipate that it will be a decade at least before all urban areas have a 20mph limit & until then there is no incentive for drivers to consider alternatives.

I agree, based upon current thinking. But change happens, laws are revised etc Doing nothing & maintaining the status quo means that congestion, pollution, obesity etc remain as unsolved problems. Its good to think of alternatives, discuss the implications, find faults etc. But I hope that...
