I concur about Trek's being nice bikes :-) I'm about to transfer all my elctrickery from my Trek FX 7.5 to a nice new shiny Trek Soho Dlx - disc brake and nice belt drive :-) Soho Deluxe - Trek Bicycle

Ok, so that's a 700c x 37 tyre - so get an inner tube the same size - you'll find they'll fits a range - say 700c x (28 to 40). http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=700c%2037%20inner%20tube&_sop=15 Find the lowest price continental.

What size is your tyre?

Anyone know of a UK supplier of the Bafang BPM motor?

So is my commute ;-) But I get your point - the average speed for the men's 8 is only 14mph over 1.24 miles.

My bike has 27 gears and it works great :-) TBH though - I rarely shift on the front rings, normally leaving it on the biggest - but I do use all 9 gears at the rear though - I like to pedal at the ideal cadence - any less than 9 speeds and I struggle to find the ideal gear sometimes - in...

Why have the thread removed? I think it's serves a useful "buyer beware" purpose.

Anyone know of any 48v bottle batteries?

I've got one of these motors on order and I'm going to runi it at 63v/650watts/25mph :-) Current Tongxin Nano has over 3000miles with the same setup - just fancy playing with something new (and lighter) :-)

Oh yeah - forgot about the stem :-( The upper and lower bearing races are what you need to know out of your frame in order to fit new ahead ones (even though occasionally they are the same).

No point moaning about bad service from LBS just take you custom elswhere but in all honesty good LBS are tricky to find and 99% just aren't interested in our projects, so you're on your own. To answer your questions:- 1: It doesn't matter what you wear - they just look at how much money...

Cable exits the LH side (if viewed from the saddle) - same side as the disc mount. Yes. Can you see day light? Yes? Then it's enough :-) I'll take a photo of the clearance on my Tongxin and carbon forks. No! Grind it off the hub!

What model Bafang? There are some measurements here:- QSWXK http://bmsbattery.com/327-503-thickbox/qswxk-front-drive-brushless-hub-motor-for-ebike.jpg Looks like it wil fit - you could always grind a little off the hub if it rubs on the left (left looking at the pic - right isyou're...

I used to do **** like this in my early twenties - then I got older and it took longer to recover from the spills :-( Two broken wrists from mountain biking/snowboarding and two broken ankles from power kiting means I don't do stuff like this anymore - and I'm only 34 :-(

See if you can get one of your own padlocks though the clasp ;-P

Would you be willing to sell a kit sans battery?

I think what alot of people are missing re Switzerlands new limits is it's a CHOICE - it doesn't automatically mean every bike will need massive batteries and stronger wheels/gears etc. You'll still be able to buy the low powered lightweight bikes if they suit your needs, but if you need a high...

Cool - not a lot in the warehouse atm. I've already got 63v10ah of Lipo on my ebike that I got from the cn warehouse last year - still going strong. Fancy another 63v5ah to parallel in - it'd be nice if I could get it from the UK.

Car manufacturers? Moped makers? Motorbike makers? Those who just plain don't like cyclists?

+1 There is a set of traffic lights on my commute where I turn left into a side road that stays on red for a long time. I regularly ride up to the white line, dismount, push my bike on the pavement and remount on the road round the corner - entirely legal and within the highway code :-) I...
