My original bbs had lith/moly cv grease refreshed regularly and is still going strong at nearly 5000 miles. Mobilgrease 28 is apparently...

    Lith/Moly grease in BBS01/02 secondary drive?

    Hi, Question about Bafang BBS mid-drives. Does anybody add a little extra lith/moly grease to the secondary drive cogs (accessible by removing the chainring, the 5 or 8 crosshead screws and removing the cover)? Cheers Darren

    ebike mid-drive kit without throttle?

    Yes, thank you for your replies on this, much appreciated. I shall get on to Bafang after the New year jollies and see what (if any) plans they have to develop their products so as to ensure EAPC conformity in the UK/European Union come 2018. Unless that is also already posted here somewhere :)

    ebike mid-drive kit without throttle?

    I think I arrived at the correct conclusion, that's as I understood it, thanks. Seems odd to consider the elderly and disabled for only a couple of years then just forget about their previously identified needs? Just seems daft, it's about making cycling more accessible to more people and...

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    I get out that way sometimes, everywhere is closer since discovering off-road ebike. I'll keep an eye out for SRS :) Call me lazy or missing out but I tend to stick to single pivot set ups for pure ease of service. Santa Cruz Superlight/Heckler/Blur all lend themselves well I find and I really...

    Hi from Darren, Brighton and Hove :)

    Hi, Long story short... My family ran a cycle shop as I was growing up, so was lucky to always have bikes around to play with. Worked in a number of bike shops since they packed up some years back. (the shop that is, they're still with us I'm pleased to say!) Always dreamed of electric bikes as...
