Been a long time, looking to clean out some stuff in the garage. Not posting this as an ad or anything so please don't delete or flag or anything of the sort, I'm just trying to get some feedback from you all on approximate values of this stuff. The following stuff is on Specialized Stump...

If you build it they will come! I mean buy it (myself included) it has to have high C rating from your website that obviously should not be an issue no bms interference with Amp spikes 80A-100A or so and 60A continuous, lvc cutout and over charging protection the ability to charge it in a short...

I'm running 48v and I use a 24v Soneil (it's only 1.8 lbs) to charge my 4 18ah sla's in 24v parallel at work and it goes into float after about 3.5 hours, granted I'm only going 13.5 miles each way, my CA says I'm using about 400-450 watt hrs or a little over 30 wh/mi. I use the 8A one that is...

How many cheap charges have you already gone through? I think the Soneils would be more cost effective in the long run. I bought 2 24v Soneil chargers, I run 4 18ah sla's in series but charge in 24v parallel, I got the 2408CAA 24V 4A for charging at home and to maintain my second pack (I...

I'm not sure how your covers are designed but I had too much play between shaft, bearing (the bearings have play because of design and quality) and cover on a x5304, I took it apart and unfortuanately there is no way to tighten it up, no proper shoulder to sandwich everything together tight...

Yes and no, I've been running 4 18ah in series for several months now, yes I carry a charger with me and charge it at both ends of my commute but it works for me, the secret is to have higher quality chargers, I spent the extra money and bought 2 Soneil chargers, one for the second set of...

This is a bit off topic of the 3000 mile rule. I would give up the ice if cars actually were able to perform like the Tesla and have a 200 mile range with the ability to charge within a couple minutes, hell yeah I would, and I consider myself a bit of a gear head I've driven, worked on and...

I agree 100%, I got 8 12v 18ah batteries for free, if not for those batteries I wouldn't have been trying to find something to do with them when I stumbled onto this site, and decided, hey I can do that, have some fun, and save some money in the long run, which will probably be spent back into...

I'm looking for anyone that is using getadirtbike's torque arms. I'm looking for pictures of how they fit, what you did to mount to the frame, how they look etc... I'm going to get a pair but I want to see how some of you are using them. I was thinking of heating them up as much as possible...

That would be great, if you post them in this link I'm sure you'll find there are more people looking to buy some, and before you get to many people looking for some I'd like to put my name on the list. The only thing that I'm curious about it how to mount/attach them to the lower part of the...

Any idea where?

I'm building a steel/moly rigid Bianchi mountain bike. I had a thought concerning torque arms, Craigslist has a lot of cheap bikes if you can find a cheap steel framed bike you can cut off the lower part of the triangle including the dropouts as long as the drop is at the right angle, cut down...

Why not? Not that I have one but 2 elusive statements like those need clarification, curiosity and all. I would imagine if it is under the frame that any thing you run over sand water mud etc... ends up on the bottle and will end up in your mouth if you use it. Am I right? Do you have...

Does anyone have pictures of getadirtbike's torque arms before installation of the nuts to see the fitment and other attachments on their bikes? I'm looking to probably make my own but if these work well and the fitment is there, I'm sure they would hold great but I'm not sure on how they would...

Thoughts on throttles. I'm partial to the full grip throttle having ridden motorcycles for a long time. I'm thinking the thumb throttle might make more sense on a bicycle though If I put this together the way that I was thinking then I can take off the controller (get the extension cables from...
