Sorry, another q. If the controller is part of the mid-drive, do I then have to source a battery without an inbuilt controller, or will any downtube battery work?

Display? I like the 500c with the integrated buttons but I am wondering if there are any advantages by choosing one of the newer models such as the P850c or 750c (with BT)? Do the newer displays allow access to more tweaking options?

And is the controller built in with the BBS01B?

So the 44/42t chainwheel will turn/drive independant from the pedals?

Yes, sorry I didn't explain properly, I understand that I can freewheel but I meant going uphill (which is when my hip invariably plays up). It would be nice to be able to keep riding using the throttle without my legs having to move, instead of getting off to push.

I have an old injury that gives me a clicky hip, so I just wanted fit a kit with a throttle so I could stop pedalling every now and then and keep going. Obviously with a mid drive the pedals will turn if I used a throttle so I couldn't do what I need. I am only going to be using my bike for...

This isn't as easy as I had hoped. I can't find anyone with UK stock and looking on the likes of AliExpress etc it seems that very few of the stores will ship from EU to the UK (good old Brexit). But I am just getting more and more confused. I am settled on a rear hub configuration and the Mxus...

Couple of questions. Is the number of magnets significant? If four would be enough, is it feasible to attach four neodymium magnets directly (using their own magnetic ability) to the bolts on the smallest chainwheel and then position the sensor accordingly? Or, in order for them to be...

Looking at your photo vfr400, is there something (spacer?) between the magnet disc and the bearing? I have zoomed in but cannot tell. I have a scrap pas to experiment with (as per photo). Would I be right in thinking that I could Dremel out some of the centre so that the disc fits onto the...

vfr400.... No, you aren't wasting your time at all. I am a carer so I am up and down stairs frequently, in between typing replies and reading, so there is inevitably some cross posting. But I appreciate everyone who is replying and I am reading everything (sometimes in catchup).

And his explanation was that the sensor would only work if pedalling backwards. I didn't say anything to him but my immediate thinking was surely just reverse the two wires?

Nealh, fitting on the other side was exactly what I thought (and asked the question when I collected the bike) and he said impossible. Any chance of pics of yours please?

Nealh, I haven't purchased a kit yet because I still deciphering what I need to order.

I had been thinking that a sensor on the rear brake only would be sufficient and, from looking at the various types, I was thinking of drilling the lever and fixing the magnet with both adhesive and a small self tapper? (once I have ascertained the correct position of course).

Two places now have said that there is no possibility of fitting on the chainring side because there isn't enough space? (Was typing while you were posting)

Good morning and thanks for allowing me to join. I would really appreciate your help, please. Last year I took my MB to a company local to me so they could check whether it was suitable for a rear-hub conversion. It was wheeled off to the workshop and 5 minutes later the answer was “yes, no...

Morning all. Mid 50's, overweight and confused. Very active until about 10 years ago when I snapped both my biceps (more painful than I can describe) and, not long after, fell off the back of a delivery van and injured my hip. Looking for advice on converting my Boardman Pro FS (2009?). Will...
