and here it is covered in stocking. So nothing to get caught on anything and also more 'stealth'.

cord comes out just at top of front of seat post. yeh drilled a hole at top, hole at bottom. I used to have cable coming around the front too, but I've swapped to back - with the fixed mount it's pretty easy to plug/unplug now and neater than having it coming around my front. I find it gets in...

So - all working now ! no more slipping. thanks for folks help. I took 2 inches out the chain length, and then started from scratch setting up gears again. I also lubed the chain with Muc Off as recommended. I think a combination of chain being too long, it maybe not being set completely...

hmm.. you got me thinking - pictures worth a 1000s words.. attached on biggest and smallest. I think maybe chain is too long as you say ? :?:

I've adjusted the rear derailed pulley to be as close in as possible. With the 48T I needed the full chain length of a new chain to get into largest rear cog, so replaced original chain with new one for that - original one wouldn't go into largest rear cog as had stretched rear derailer out as...

I'm no bike expert, and I've been through all the 'googled fix chain slipping' links.. so hoping you guys can help. build brand new bike - 13 incline alpha 27 speed. converted to BBS02 with a 48T chainring. Set up the gears to change smoothly, etc and all rides well, but in top gear (on the...

Hi guys, thought I'd post some pictures of my new build. It's a new 13 Alpha Incline, with BBS02. I like to have my batteries in my backpack as it means I can switch between bikes easier, plus I like the way the bike feels lighter for jumps/bunnyhops/etc. So I have XT90 fitted under the...

So = you were right. short black to high speed and i now have the full 30amps. thanks again. stu

my mistake then I always thought this controlled the amount of the assist for PAS. You are saying it's basically a speed limiter with 3 levels, and the default is medium. Interesting - I shall give it a go - I wonder if on the KU123 the default was fast then, since it hit its max 30 amps with...

speed limiter - yes as I said - left open. speed switch: I don't have one - with the KU123 I just left them unconnected and it worked fine. I'll try connecting the black to orange/high then and see if that makes a difference though, thanks. I thought that was only for PAS though ?

My KU123 controller blew a few weeks ago, and this is the only replacement I could get quickly: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/48V-1000W-15-Mosfets-30A-Brushless-Motor-Controller-Electric-bike-hall-sensor-/272294501676?hash=item3f66045d2c:g:ptIAAOSwOVpXeApg...

Ah - floating earth - good point. Ok, keep it simple and just monitor the base cell on each pack. then easy. no regulator required for mini - 5v part will run off 3 to 5v so can disconnect internal regulator (though it only uses about 10ma so I'll probably not bother to be honest). I can't run...

I have basic 4P6S lipo setup. each of the 4 packs (assuming all the cells are good) should not be discharged beyond a certain low voltage. At the moment, I have a buzzer on each (monitoring every cell), which is ok, but I'd also like to have a configurable cut out. So I was thinking of just...

Hi Guys - I'm gonna stick one of my spare wattmeters not used on the bike in my motorhome. thing is - shared earths or van body means it's difficult to know where I can actually stick it. There are two 12v batteries (one each side of van) wired in parallel. I've tried the 3 wire method on the...

36v Q85 front motor. 48v K123 contoller. 4 22.2V 5500 lipos in 2s2p in a custom aluminum quick release box. Fitted to my old Dawes MTB. Pulling 1500W peak. Does around 35mph on the straight at around 13amps. 11ah gives me a fair range as long as I'm putting in the effort...
