    Samsung Ebike Battery - faster or/and more portable charger?

    Would something like this be suitable? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/42V-2A-Charger-For-36V-Li-ion-Lithium-Battery-Two-Wheel-Self-Balanced-Vehicle-/322293550476?hash=item4b0a314d8c:g:GtUAAOSwYIxYAKAu It's for a secondary charger to top up for the return trip. What could the drawbacks be to a...

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    It ended up being a bit better when I oiled the chain. It is quieter as well. I had ridden in the rain before the puncture. It is still quite a bit slower in rolling performance but maybe half of the performance loss in total is better now that the chain is oiled. How often is everyone oiling...

    Ok, thanks. I suppose I probably, wouldn't want to go below 35 width with an electric bicycle right?

    Oops actually the old tyre is 700x38C I misread it in the dark some ridges of the numbers were more worn and there was an extra ridge. Here's something, I took out the inner tube partially to see more and it's a 700x35 one I think, could this be why the speed is down? x38 tyre but x35 inner...

    Yes they used a whole container in the two tyres, I was surprised because I thought I'd get a mostly full bottle as well but they said they used it all up. It was a big bottle. Ok I've decided to get new simple inner tubes and puncture resistant tyres instead. Could I replace my tyres (CST...

    I don't think so, it seems the downhill performance is reduced, it seems to have rolling resistance when the motor is off, I think.

    Could I replace my tyres CST Traveller City Classic 40-622 700x360 with a 700x35c one? Are these a lot worse than those other top quality ones...

    But I always thought with more pressure tyres rolled better and needed less energy to move.

    Yes I'm noticing a lot of rolling resistance vs before the slime. There's no way to take slime out once it's in is there? Because they were expensive puncture resistant inner tubes. So I would have been better off with a new puncture resistant tyre + basic inner tubes and no slime or liner...

    Thanks, that was a sticker, I couldn't see anything else written on the rim, would I have to take the inner tube out to read what it says underneath on the rim so see the size? I took out the liner but it still is a lot slower than before. So it must be the slime or the puncture proof inner...

    Does the. CST Traveller City Classic 40-622 700x360 Mean I need a 36 wide tyre?

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    OK thanks, I'll try some of those things. I probably should have just got a puncture proof tyre instead of all those other things. What would the cost be of a set of puncture proof tyres in AUD aprox?

    Yes the front wheel when spun is making a slight noise at one point when it goes round, although it still spins for a long time. I loosened the brake lever but it must be the brake assembly not the actual brake pad that is touching slightly. I'm not quite sure how to adjust it though, here's a...

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    I recently took my bicycle to a bike shop after I got a lot of punctures to get some puncture proofing installed. They suggested a puncture proof inner tube and some slime. I also asked for a puncture proof liner as well for added puncture proofing. Anyway ever since the bicycle has reduced...
