OK until I find something better I've attached a lump of Sugru which seems to do the job.

I got a kit maybe 4 years back which included a thumb control and a twist control. So far I've broken two thumb controls - mainly due I think to banging up to things on public bike racks. I've fitted the twist control but don't like it and want another thumb control but I need something more...

Thanks for the response. There's no particular time it cuts out. Sometimes it can be when I'm about to pull away from traffic lights and I find it's gone off whilst waiting. Other times it's after going over a bump. I've not done much hill climbing. I was in Holland last week - about as flat as...

i've got a kit using the KT-LCD3 display and KT36ZWSRT-LCD controller. It runs fine most of the time but has a tendency to cut out. The display goes blank and I have no power. There doesn't seem to be any particular reason for this, and it always comes back on straight away when I press the...

Ok an update. I've been working on the kit over the weekend, and have got the bike running. Following help on here, I've learned how to adjust the 6 speed so it changes smoothly, and with battery power it's pretty impressive. I've only ridden it a mile so far and it needs all the wires tidying...

Yes - following trex above I've cleaned off the grime on the old wheel and found the numbers. It is indeed a cassette.

So my old wheel with the 8 cogs - is that a free wheel or a cassette? You can tell I've not done much beyond pumping up the tyres.

Thanks for this. My dropout width, that is the spacing between the two sides of the spindles that sit inside the forks is 135 mm. The new motorised wheel and 6 cogs just fits, but interestingly the cogs are spaced a little wider than on the original. The 8 cogs are 5 mm apart, but the 6 cogs are...

Thanks flecc - that's a really helpful description. Trex - thanks for the suggestion. Although this would be the ideal way to go, 8 cogs take up just too much room.

First time here so apologies if this is a regular topic. I just got a kit for my bike which has come with a 6 speed shimano freewheel gear set ready attached to the wheel. Well I think it's a freewheel though I've never taken much notice. The existing bike has an 8 speed gear set. If I can make...
