Endless Sphere

Sorry guys, been working away with no tinternet, I am back in my work shop as of Monday (20th oct) so will get back on top of things and read up on what I have missed..

A few more pics; http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u10/tench8/P1000979_zps3277d2c6.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u10/tench8/P1000980_zps97bf6947.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u10/tench8/P1000981_zps69143e5d.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u10/tench8/P1000982_zps2ee5fd99.jpg...

This area of the design has occupied my thoughts a lot, this is the first incarnation. Allthough the drawing isn't clear in this area it does have a gusset folded over the top tube connecting the 3 points of attachment to the battery box to spread the load further, not too dissimilar to Tek's idea, ...

Not in this frame but the next one I am putting together will be having a Cro in it. When I get around to jigging it up for manufacture the ability to build the swingarm with extra width will be catered for. I still have to jig up for the fitting of the rear caliper mounts too, I will get that done ...

I have been working on a new frame design for a while, progress has not been as fast as I would have liked but I have now got one together. My thinking behind this frame is to produce and make available to others a frame that people could move their own cycle parts over to from an existing ebike con...

I don't think it is the stator, the sound would be duller, this one rings like it is resonating through the spokes. I think the loose magnet with a little room to move is a distinct possibility. You cant rule anything out or do an accurate diagnosis, it is going to need exploring.

It might be worth retensioning the wheel now you have "settled it down" with some use. This is always a good idea on any wheel build after a good shake down and can only be good for the integrity and longevity on the wheel.

Eclipse bikes in the uk have a 153mm BB cartridge for £10.95, it is not symmetrical but I am sure the end caps can be swapped to give you 2 different offset options. I believe this one is sold by them to enable the Cyclone motors to fit between the pedal cranks. http://www.eclipsebikes.com/153mm-bot...

There was foot path from Pine close through to Briars way but not directly to Maple ave. There was one from Sandham lane that came out opposite where the shop was that had access to the back of some house on Pine close. I remember when they built the houses on Maple ave!! I had a load of mates in Up...

I grew up in Ripley, lived there till I was 18, well, grew up is debateable! We lived on Pine Close by the Hospital.

Hey Quackstar, where abouts in Derbyshire are you?

I would say go for regen if you live in an hilly area with lots of long coasting down hills, if your commute is relatively flat there will be little gain from it. But that is not my main reason for replying in this thread, in your op you mentioned rear suspension and having the battery hanging over ...

Microsoft urges customers to uninstall 'Blue Screen of Death' update One of last week's security updates has bricked an unknown number of PCs running Windows 7 http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9250446/Microsoft_urges_customers_to_uninstall_Blue_Screen_of_Death_update Having read that it sound...

I turned my machine off 2 days ago and it displayed the message do not power off your machine an update is in progress. So I left it and went to bed, like I have done many times before. However the next morning it would not boot up, it took me a while to get in, then I had to do a registry repair to...

It doesn't say anywhere in the listing that this can balance or discharge? so I would liken it to a cell-log rather than a battery medic. cell-logs are available in 8s for a similar cost so I don't see this as being better than anything that is already available?

That Ttrotrx scooter looks great, except I don't like the idea of being tethered to the back pack battery, and maybe it could do with a seat and some pedals! Someone should invent something like that!

The battery on my Acer is specced at 10.8v, I don't know what the cell arrangement is to arrive at that figure but I guess mine would work on a 12v feed from the car.

You have a PM, with a sneaky peaky pic of my new frame design 8) Aren't you afraid that madm3chanic will return with a third design, much reminding to yours? 8) It will be out there very soon for all to see. Maybe someone will see an aspect of it that inspires them in their own build, after all, im...

Justins spoke calculator has the ability to accommodate paired holes in its calculations. Sorry, I misread your post, you should measure the distance between the 2 rows of holes in the rim and knock the same amount off the flange to flange measurement of the hub, or knock half the amount off the fla...

Woa!! Spoke threads are not cut with a die, they are rolled into the spoke, you cannot extend them by cutting! What I suggest you do is use the simulator to try and determine the correct hole spacing to do a radial paired hole pattern with the spoke length you have, if they are not long enough to do...

I like the Renthal grips in full diamond, not the waffle ones. They are available in several different compounds and also a larger diameter, with the thicker ones being better suited to e-bicycle use, the thinner ones are great on a motorcycle when you are wearing chunky gloves. Renthal trial; http:...

That does look an impressive build, Keep us informed on how it pans out. I don't know whether you have mentioned it further back in your thread but is this used in a rigid or suspension frame? A bicycle wheel with its thin spokes has a springiness to it that shares the load and absorbs shocks, this ...

While out with the wife on her Euro legal bike and me riding my Bomber with its 72v 20ah life pack we would travel at 17mph ish 27kmh. At this speed on flat ground with gentle pedal assist the Bomber would give 80 miles (128km) to a charge. The distance you can cover will be very dependant on your s...

I measured it when it was apart Ron, the stator is a 27mm stack of .5mm lams and the magnets also measure 27mm. The wind is 9x7 so 63 strands same as the HT3525. 5% more than the 12x5 HS3540.
