I advise buying a set or at least measuring very accurately. Common mistake is believing all nipples to be sized by wire (spoke) gauge, no longer true, even if it was when bicycles were made in England to English sizes. These nipples are all 14 gauge, one fits red, one fits green the other...

:)Enough, enough, the maiden cried ! Had me giggling, at least Got me thinking, how about a fck off big front hub motor on a fixie with torque sensor on BB, no speed limit nor brake sensors . Someone might like to give one to Bibi at the top of Mt Sinai (to celebrate the successful modern...

Touche, mon ami Exactly why we have troubled with “corrected” horsepower limits on ice vehicles for so long. Dynos calibrate to sea level, 20*C, atmospheric pressure etc. Your moped or class A2 horsepower restricted motorbike will make it’s maximum power ONLY on a level playing field...

so perfectly well explained long mountain rides tend to have flat bits on the ridges and in the valleys, some steep climbs , some long gentle ones, some tight single trail, some wide open bits etc etc etc The need for gears becomes obvious, a motor that can do it all is essential Yes a mid...

Yes and trail parks have about as much in common with long distance mountain rides as a velodrome. The op has unsurprisingly left the room.

Opposite for me, my mid baf has throttle controlled pas, so setting is really low —100w until I push throttle, totally linear increase in pas. Torque sensitive to my thumb, controllable in proper rough, no weird kicks. I’ve been riding a Bosch a lot in recent weeks, I don’t hate it but if you...

Yes, I love to tour in mountains, multi day especially, I could never do it on analogue bike. Where is the trip .? ie how far and how high climb a day ? Range is controlled only by price and weight of battery (or batteries) Dual suspension to hardtail is chalk and cheese in the rough stuff Very...

Take the vid to plod, they may have trouble differentiating between the two idiots, let us know.

X tech hybrid version posted above should self adjust, only cable needs setting and lubing, looks like a better (although dearer) version of the zoom mech twin pull I have and posted. I’d try it, no question, Good spotting egroover !

No experience with hybrid ones but these twin pull mech zittos are seriously good value. I fitted to wife’s ebike. Not self adjusting, of course, but feel is like twin piston hydros. Cheap, look trick (imho, lovely cnc cut), easy free brake cut out switch (with kit levers/perches), I recommend...

I think that one takes the cake I’ve seen plenty of brave / mad motorcyclists filming themselves riding fast between cars etc. endagering only themselves of course. mad cyclist filming himself trying to run over peds at a zebra crossing ? I’ve sent it to media, should make the tv soon

Sorry, I’m away from my workshop, mine is probably not deep splined as I had no reason to look for one, but I did see multiple options, Zitto etc Any with 32mm hex drive should be boreable to clear axle. some are sold as Bafang specific, 44/16 fits later mid drives too It might be worth...

You probably know but 44/16 is common size for shimano bb, I bought mine from ali express, loads to choose from , cheap as chips. Look for deep reach. The std baf inner m33 44/ 4 prong is harder to find, I bought same brand (wheels maf) and it’s dear but perfect. I have a few mid bafs, one of...

The future ? Sorry if posted before

A very wise decision, not least to get gearing that you can always get you up the last hill when battery is flat but much more importantly to set up suspension. Plush is my game, no tabletops nor big drops here but dually set up right, ignores tree roots, potholes etc, mine only has 4” each end...

If a whisper legal throttle ebike (or Grandfather rights ebike ) breaks it’s chain, can it be legally ridden without chain ? Does plod know or care ? Are there more important things in the world ?

Thanks for that Az, first time I’ve read that, totally unacceptable, of course, torque sensitive must stop immediately, that’s part of the attraction, guess we have to wait till we can play with settings. Took me a while to get Baf pas to not run on, all good now but Bosch I’m riding today is...

+1000’s You can lead a horse to water………… But in light of recent news of jail for ebike motor tampering, it would be remiss of me to encourage such behaviour on the net, no more from me on that subject. Especially when said clown not only “misunderstands” English but also brags that he is...

I did what I was told so should you (removed by admin)

Must be different English, works for me, did a bbs01 this morning but please read warnings on gt
