I've been using Schwalbe Landcruiser tyres on a FSmtb with a tubeless setup and only had one slow puncture in over a year. The bike is used both on and off road. Varying the pressures changes the grip level and rolling resistance a lot, the solid centre band gets the power down on road and the...

Re the chainring, I should have added to my post above that due to the increase offset of the Bafang chainring I use a bling ring to correct this on the mtb so first gear alignment is acceptable. However, on the 9 speed hybrid I kept the Bafang 44t chainring and bought a cheap ultrawide...

I would like to add my experience. Living in Wales and doing some off road I went for a mid drive BBS01 on a mtb, a gear change sensor was added to smooth gear changes and give the chain an easier time (essential IMHO). After 1500 miles with this setup the BBs01 motor was transferred to a...

I had the same issue with a FS MTB, the link below was the inspiration for my conversion and I used the same bike too. My battery is mounted under the downtube with 3 rivnuts and two re-usable cable ties. In two years and 1800 miles there have been no mounting problems. There are many threads on...

Is it possible to see what is stopping it from the left hand side ??

I also tried 10 percentage point jumps for each current level but found that the steps were not even, ie level 1 at 20% to level 2 at 30% is a 50% increase in power and obviously levels 8 to 9, 90 to 100%, is only a 10% increase. After some trial and error I went with a 16% step for each level...

Living in hilly Wales I ended up reprogramming the software and fitting a wider ratio cassette to my BBS01 conversion. A bottom gear of around 1:1 works for me, achieved by an inexpensive ebay cassette.

Post a picture please when done.

Bought a Lidl stand last year and use it all the time, superb for cleaning/maintenance etc. Yes, balancing can be an issue but mid drive bikes seem OK...so far.

Oh to be young and indestructible :):)

While the adapter plate looks like a neat solution, at the end of the day the battery will still be held on by just two bolts at one end which imho is not ideal. Riv nuts are easy to install even without a special tool, just search on utube, and a couple of extra strap are a good idea too. They...

My battery had to be underslung on the downtube as rear shock was in the way. I used three riv nuts, two reusable cable ties and two Velcro straps and have had no issues in 1500 miles. There are lots of posts on here too via the search button.

I recently swapped my original BBS01 for a BBS02 on the mtb. The "pad" under the small motor came off fairly easily, however I may have applied a smear of grease before applying the metal epoxy to enable later removal but cannot recall. The main aim was to give the motor something solid to push...

In addition to threadlock I used a small "pad" of metal epoxy between the motor body and down tube to take some of the torque reaction and also a little inside the bottom bracket to remove any clearance inside the bottom bracket. This has worked well on a BBS01 and 02.

In addition to the above in winter I use a pair of fur lined waterproof Gore-Tex trainers to keep feet warm and dry, like these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Puma-Manilla-Hi-Fur-GTX-Gore-Tex-Green-Warm-Lined-High-Top-Boots-UK-7-5/324483112250?hash=item4b8cb35d3a:g:SJIAAOSwK2xgJV06

A friend of mine recently converted a Voodoo Bizango (with 27.7" wheels) with a BBS01 and had to very lightly "massage" a chain stay as it held the motor away from seating against the bottom bracket about 1.5mm. It my be worth checking motor/frame dimensions. There are posts on here too...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. My contacts in Europe have faded in recent years so asking a friend would be tricky. Yes I could try phoning them but having already sent two separate messages, one from the website contact page and the other to the listed email, it seems to me they do not want...

You guys are probably correct, but it would be helpful to put a note on their website somewhere. Still no reply to my emails..... It is a shame as they are currently having a sale and have stock !! I was particularly interested in the Preci bling ring as it has 1.5mm more offset and is (was ?)...

I've been trying to order a chainring from these guys but their website will not allow this with either paypal or signing in on an account. An email was sent but no response so far after a few days. Can anyone shed light on this ? Thanks

Heated grips are great at keeping the inside of your hands warm but less so the outside. The solution on a motorcycle is to turn up the power but this would be more difficult on a bicycle. I still think handlebar muffs would be good solution.
