Had a quick look through the box and it looks a well made/ well finished bit of kit!. How long does a 15ah battery normally take to charge with a 2amp charger?, 7 hours or more?. Put it on charge earlier..

I normally wear a rucksack and to be fair don't carry enough to be prepared for doomsday ;). Sounds like you have some eventful trips out!. Found another Gtech owner doing 20 mile commutes on his so I'm not the only outcast :).

To be fair the Suntour NCX seat post was a good investment for mine, and I'll be fitting one to my other project as well.

I've not seen another one in the wild yet, good hunting!.

Sounds like you're getting into it!. If you ride out of assist on the flat you should be getting a good workout, the wind is a killer on a normal bike so that's one of the big benifits when running an ebike

E3MV were/ are supplying the frames at £350, the factory has basically stolen his design.

I bet your other bike won't get a look-in now!.

Motor and battery arrived at work today!, don't know if I'll have time to fit it this weekend though..

My battery arrived today through Collect +. I use Interparcel quite a lot (UPS).

Z1X Inox looks beefy?, I'd be interested as well for heavy duty single speed chain recommendations.

Hello Nuvinci is infinitely adjustable within it's range (no gear "click"). Goes from 1/2 turn of rear sprocket to 1 wheel rotation (overdrive) to 2 turns of rear sprocket to 1 wheel roatation (full underdrive). You can set the range with front and rear sprockets. Bought 350w kit and battery...

The nice thing with the Nuvinci 360 is that you can't miss a shift, it's infinitely variable across the range. To be fair 11 gears inside a hub is a lot to ask!.

There's the story on endless sphere about these frames, a bloke designed them and spent some time with the factory on the understanding they would be sole distributors. Needless to say ones the factory got into production they were selling them through the backdoor (alibaba etc..).

I think the 8's are quite robust.

I read the alfine 8 was ok but the 11 is a bit temperamental?, went with a Nuvinci instead for my build.

Yeh I've fancied a Nuvinci hub for a while (before e-biking) and one came up on here for sale built into the correct size wheel so I had to have it!. The electric conversion should give the bike a new lease of life, rather than languishing at the back of the shed. It was surprisingly enjoyable...

I've got a 36v 15ah dolphin battery coming for the downtube, Samsung celled.

Nothing wrong with rim brakes, I could quite easily go over the handlebars on the Gtech. They work fine in the wet as well..

Lidl one does 30kg, if you have a look at my Carrera thread there's a picture of it in there.

I think it was 15kg?, the rear wheel that came out weighed a fair bit though. Will get it on the scales at work after the kit has been fitted. I expected th Nuvinci to feel heavier than it did to be honest (pleasantly surprised). I have some Pace carbon suspension front forks but they aren't...
