I'm looking at getting a new setup and having a controller integrated into the battery casing. The problem is I want to be able to use my old batteries for longer range, or if I forget to charge, etc. I figure I'll probably be able to wire up a tail that comes out to connect to other batteries...

It's yours then! PM sent.

Just want to get rid of this stuff as easily as possible without it going to waste. $20 + shipping for as much as you are interested in from below. All was working years ago when last used, but has not been tested since unless otherwise described. - 2 controllers (sticker says "094310WST-MII...

Just thought I'd share that this flashlight is great. $20 comes with a quality battery and charging cable. Battery and flashlight perform far better than anything I've gotten for a similar price. Specs seem legit. 220 lumen mode is brighter than all the "900 lumen" flashlights I got from Deal...

I cannot for the life of me get the Koolstop pads to stop screaming at the top of their lungs. Are there any other options out there?

Ah, dampening, good point. If this had happened on the back instead of front I would have been able to steer better and maybe stay up longer, but I think anyone would have to expect they're going to go down if that mess is hanging onto their back hub. Anyways, the main moral of the story here...

This was a double wall aluminum rim with stainless steel nipples . I searched this winter for a list I once had of the various periodic maintenance that should be done to see if there was anything important I was missing, but I wasn't able to find the one I liked, and I didn't encounter...

I'd imagine it'd be more accurate to say I had hit thousands. It is not really reasonable to avoid them here due to the quantity and having to share the road with other traffic. That being said there are some large enough that must be avoided or the result would be a crash regardless of the bike...

Okay, I think I know what happened, spokes got loose. There had been a subtle noise coming from the front that I thought was maybe due to worn out bearings, but now I realize it was probably the rim shifting a little due to the spokes being loose... Never realized it was so important to check...

Hurt enough I can't go out and have fun tonight, but seems to just be a bunch of contusions at the moment. Probably won't feel good to sleep on my left hip for about a year, but whatever. Only concern I have is that maybe something happened to my left rotator cuff, but I already had surgery on...

Yeah, it's almost 5 years old. Same bike I had when I took a ride with you in Beaverton 8) Pretty sure the spokes are a larger gauge than standard though

I'm really confused as to how the front rim could be the one to fail on me. The back rim is just from some $150 Shopko bike and obviously there's way more weight back there since there's no suspension back there and I have a 20lbs battery on the rear rack. And the rear tire has gotten way more...

The tire was basically the same width as the rim. There was no noticeable ballooning. I might check on that when I'm less sore tho I think a lot of the spokes took quite a beating in the crash. I thought I maybe heard a strange ping come from the front wheel earlier in the night, so there...

Never a pinch flat. I think only 1 flat tire on the rim in 4 years. Tire is actually only 1.95" wide when inflated.

Bought it from ebikes.ca...
