    Who's to blame?

    A couple of questions...why was your bike so oily in the first place, and are you still parking your bike in the same spot ?

    Drivetrain dilemma

    It's often the case that manufacturers will build an item then create a tool for it, that gives the impression only their tool will work correctly. Shimano also do a block remover for their gears but you don't have to buy their brand which is inevitably more expensive, other cheaper brands will...

    Drivetrain dilemma

    Coincidently I've just replaced my freewheel with a DNP 11t. If you want to guarantee getting one you can go here... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153425869545?ViewItem=&item=153425869545 I did find I had to jiggle the derailleur slightly, although the gear block was the same width as the old...

    LCD S866 + Brainpower controller

    I think Sinan is left with this connector and he's wondering where it goes. Looks like two wires red & green.

    250W geared motor performance

    Thank's for that useful info vfr all noted for future reference. One final question, 36v-250w-15.5Mph cut-off, so a 48v battery gives what is it now 30% more speed, so what about that cut off point is that raised accordingly as well, if so then it's electronically controlled not mechanically I...

    250W geared motor performance

    That's what I've been saying all along really, basically the motor does not cut out at 15.5 Mph as it's set higher. The suggestion was it stopped dead at that speed which it doesn't. Just to add I don't have a KT controller or display so your suggested settings would not apply. My bike has a...

    250W geared motor performance

    vrfr, I've put my bike on a work stand switched on and gone through all PAS levels. As we all know a motor assists to a certain preordained speed then cuts out as indeed mine does all the way up to level five where it doesn't. On it's stand I can only turn the crank so fast then it starts to get...

    250W geared motor performance

    I think you got the posts mixed up vfr, I don't have a Mxus . In my case the motor doesn't cut out at 25 Kph as it's set to 60 Kph. The next time I get my power meter out and mess around attaching it which is a bind I can tell you, I'll take a video and prove it.

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    Woosh is spot on. If you take a primary (non rechargeable) cell like say a small hearing aid battery that's partially depleted and you parallel it with another new cell lets say an alkaline battery of the same voltage or near, then they will self balance. That's similar to how those battery...

    250W geared motor performance

    I'll have to carry out more testing on my bike, lousy weather again today sadly. I don't have a separate speed sensor so the speed is measured off of the motor or the rotating rear wheel anyway. If I pedal under my own steam with assist switched off I still get a speed readout on the display, as...

    250W geared motor performance

    I think it all depends on what your setup is though doesn't it vfr. On my folder I've set the assist to it's max setting of 60 Kph (37 Mph), it won't drive me along that fast without me pedalling of course but it doesn't cut out either. With the bike on the work stand I've turned the crank as...

    Freego Raptor & Battery Pack

    I like the factory photos on that store site, they churn out batteries like cigarettes. That battery looks just like the one on the Raptor, it would not surprise me one bit if it were the exact same one.
