Sadly not as far as I could see - see the pics earlier in this topic - perhaps d8veh can see another way to overamp things?

okeydokey, this should make heath Robinson proud, and I wouldn't mind doing it myself in the parallel universe where I live on farm on the coast on a Caribbean island and have a huge workshop and infinite amounts of free time)...

i'm a complete newbie - but here goes: I squeeze the brake hard - on my cheap bike that results in a newly attached calliper scratching/touching on a specific part of the disk - then with the bolts slightly loose I carefully twist the calliper until the noise goes away and carefully tighten the...

the thing that did it for me is realising that there is more to it than just pulling the brake and fastening the calliper bolts - one has to gently twist the calliper with slightly loose bolts until it doesn't squeak and then carefully tighten the bolts without changing the calliper's orientation

I'm hovering on buying another version on amazon (from mercurymall) that seems a good copy for very cheap given that Tillson mentioned its a gopro copy it seems pretty good value

it does look good - and affordable http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SJ4000-30M-Waterproof-HD-1080P-Sports-Video-WiFi-Camera-and-Accessories-Silver-/171639325210?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item27f680421a but does it really weigh 582grams? could use it to head-butt motorists if that's the case

apologies if this is stating the obvious and/or missing the point: but I only realised the hard way after rereading Sheldon's stuff that you have to be sure the rim is true BEFORE tightening and/or replacing spokes - and bend the rim (knee and hands can do if one is strong enough) before...

I guess Norway may also have been in a somewhat different position if it chose to invade several countries and develop an economy based mainly on financial services as opposed to producing high tech stuff over the past forty odd years

Hi Andrew, I used king meter (the separated magnet ring and sensor one) - big stone didn't fit on my bottom bracket, if I buy a new sorry this may be a double message (connection problems), I used king meter (separate sensor and magnet ring) because big stone didn't fit on my non drive bottom...

many thanks Andrew, that's great support, I wont connect them to any old parts - I suspect that it is the PAS that somehow caused it and feel at least half responsible for this (having greatly modified it), how do I buy a new one?

many thanks that helps enormously - the pins aren't bent (the connector only has three and a little ridge to assist plugging (I attach a pic), but something about the PAS must have caused it. what's the best thing to do? many thanks

many thanks - a strange sequence of events unfolded: I turned the magnet ring around (just before this turning the pedals backwards activated the system in a fine way and everything worked OK), reassembled everything and nothing worked. I tried everything (finally disassembling the whole system...

i'm in the same position - I removed the small chain ring, and the central part of the magnet ring and attached it with wire to the remaining chain ring (third world approach, I know, but it worked) - then I (just) had clearance once I fitted the PAS sensor on a custom mount attached to the...

I very second that - I came off tonight on an icy patch when a car stopped too suddenly in front of me, I had laptop in sleeve in this kind of ww2 job http://webbingbabel.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/swedish-army-backpack-m39-svenska.html which I find give just the right amount of circulation - anyway...

how about this http://www.atob.org.uk/bicycle-accessories/top-draw-dynamos-bush-muller-dymotec-s12-dynosys-lightspin/ £300 is a bit steep, but evidently it can be done

for what its worth, im all for tinkering (bicycles can be a relatively safe way to do just that in my reality - and, to misquote that bloke form sin city, there is nothing one cant do to a bicycle) - i'd still rather have a look at vintage sturmey archer hub dynamos though..

that is without folding in the rear wheel...!

once i can regulary do that on a brompton i think my life will be complete

by accident I may have stumbled on it - I had an old b'twin triban 3 (9.8kg) on my scale, and I just purchased an oxydrive kit (13ah - in reality probably 250w with its max 15A 36v controller) which weighs 7.8kgs. i'm tidying up the install and verdict still out on hillclimbing and cruising...

mine arrived and I had the same problem - I'm not sure this is safe but think it should be: at the bottom of the battery mounting there's two screw in bolts that attach the long sliding bit to the controller - if you put a longer m5 bolt with sunken head through the bottom hole and into the...
