High time someone tells Christ how to take care of his lipos..

why doesnt hobbyking have any problems sending lipoi aroudn teh world very cheaply but pedelec companys find it so difficult? also, would a 10S lipo (6Ah woul dbve very cheap) from hobbyking in some kind of hard container not be a cheap fix?

yerrrrrrrrs, and there isnt anything remotely embarrassing about squatting open legged in public on what looks like a large 1990's desktop that developed a mind of its own

time for a nexus 7 test, we could all be bots..

this may be unusual, but having an ugly bike helps, my old raleigh (Professional, double butted 531) doesnt look the part (flaked paint, corrosion), i dont use a serious lock and havent had any problems

but what does a spambot normally say to this?

as luck would have it teh bottom part is 31.6mm, but a simialr NCX is off course about four times too short..

as a complete aside - ive got an NCX seatpost on an ancient raleigh, it's the best thing ive yet found on the planet for very badly potholed english roads - i also have a brompton, with a telescopic seatpost - the upper part of which has an uncommon 26.2 mm diameter - can anyone think of any...

finally some real perspective (this thread has a strong flavour of Somerset Maughm's "Rain")

headsets and bottom brackets and cranks cost peanuts for a Chinese bike like that with a hub motor and are as far as I know very similar across the board in that price range

correct me if I'm wrong - but you describe a 36 mile commute (18 there, 18 back) - you're saying your ebike does it at an average of around 20mph - but that it wont do the full 36 miles on a single charge? I wouldn't sell it at all - I would take the charger to work and recharge there before...

many thanks, its very reassuring

i wonder if we could have a break down, in percentage, between those forumites who, a - enjoy reading this thread, b - feel it makes them actively consider self harm, and c - feel like riding a dongled bike into a tree at high speed for having to re-read the same stuff yet again. I think we are...

many thanks for this very useful info all. as a complete aside - while im waiting for the bb i had to put teh bike in an outside locker (very limited space inside) - apologies if thsi has been covered in another thread, BUT - i gather charging Lipo and lifepo at subzero temperature is a very bad...

I went with http://www.tredz.co.uk/.ETC-Semi-Sealed-Bottom-Bracket_45829.htm in case anyone wonders a btwin triban 3 bb is 68 by 115mm

many thanks!

Hi James, here's to teh least knowledgeable and experienced member of teh forum replying to your post! but here goes: as far as i know yoru controller will have something called a LVC (low voltage cutout) to protect batteries - i.e. it will cut off power from teh batteries (using - i think -...

same here, i think high population density and a hypercapitalist sense of individual entitlement doesnt help. It can, perversely, be funny - last week a mother tried to ram me with a buggy on my brompton (trying to push me into the road, i was, to be fair, on the pavement, but the road was very...

many thanks, will do and let all know how i get on

many thanks that's very helpful. I think I will have to get a new bottom bracket - I will need to do some reading first (Sheldon etc) to figure out what I have (square taper I think) - which BB will the small sensor fit? on mine the splines on the non drive side looked as if it should fit =-...
