    Just to close the loop on the PAS install, I really needed to get in tight against the BB, since the magnet ring is so tight to the BB shell. Needed to really bend up the orig bracket. I needed to make sure that both ends of the sensor were reading the magnets, originally one end was riding up...

    No need to reply D8veh, and thanks for the replies. I found the answer regarding the shunt mod. I'm actually happy with the torque/speed mix of the set up I have. Plus I need to conserve battery as I am just making it on my 25 mi commute that I tried on Sunday. In fact, I needed to pedal a...

    Great ideas :roll: I'm good at pedaling faster and that's the only one I could think of. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought I had read a mod to increase the amps that the controller gives, mine is 18a but if it was 20 or 22 wouldn't that increase speed and/or power.

    Which I think leads me into my next question...how do I modify this set up to make it go faster.... :D

    BTW, I did get a piece of this and it looks perfect if I had a metal frame, nice and sturdy, if anything a bit too heavy duty. Too nervous to clamp onto my carbon stays...

    I'm wondering about these connectors, seems like they are proprietary to this BMSBatt set-up. These red ones are for the brake cut out connectors that I will never use. Is there any other reason I should keep them? Is there anything else that I could use them for? I would prefer to cut them...

    Bafang BPM2 front hub with 48V11.6ah battery kit from BMSbattery. Had some range anxiety but made through my first 25 mi commute yesterday... https://www.strava.com/activities/406133859

    Figured out the problem with the speedometer on this great thread for LCD3 info. The preset for parameter P2=1, which says 1 pulse per revolution when, in fact, my bpm2 sends 6 pulses so the controller thought I was going 6 times as fast. I set P2=6 and I got 29mph in an unsprung speed in my...

    LOVE the new eBike conversion, way fun :lol: A few blips but...worst was battery noise bouncing around on the back, OK, I did hit a few fireroads and it did not work out, this is truly a road machine, but...I can put my 29 x 2.2 nevegals back on at any time. Built a new retention system...

    I have the manual but I did not get a separate speed sensor, did not think I needed it. I reduced the wheel size down to 10" and it gave some readings but still twice the speed I was actually going (checked with my Garmin). The LCD3 says I went 45 mi when I really went 24, which is a range I...

    Maiden voyage...will need to make it private soon since it has a KOM on a major bike path that is inaccurate due to my use of a motor. Improved my time on that segment from 6 min to 4 min but took a KOM from a guy who earned it with his legs, over 1500 attempts on the segment. Averaged 20mph...

    Almost ready for the road. Went out for a quick test drive in the dark and it felt awesome. New front brake lines needs adjustment at the LBS. Batt bag turned out to be a bit bulky but whatever. I wrote down the default LCD3 settings, may start another thread. Wheel size seems drastically...

    Almost there...got the PAS figured (hopefully) and the dropouts figured. After I hatched the 'sensor under the BB idea' I realized that I could prob keep the granny and just move the sensor back. Too late, I had already glued the mag ring. Dropouts :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: Thanks for...

    Thanks for those ideas Lew, I may just get a pair of clamps and strap them onto the seatstays down close to the dropouts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bike-Rear-Rack-Mounting-Hardware-Bicycle-Seatstay-Rear-Rack-Clamps-14-16mm-Frame-/301318032134?hash=item4627f44b06 For now I'm still working on...

    Also, seems clear that once I get the spacing right I will need to dish, I guess that's pretty common. I have my own truing stand and have built a few wheels but still...ANY helpful tips appreciated :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: 8)

    Ok, thanks for that, good to know the directional washer works on the outside. I think I am almost there on washers and spacing and such except that I have to deal with my lawyers lips under my double torque arms. Seems the easiest is to dremel some washers so they fit around the lips, next...

    Yes Lew, mine is a 9.8 but close enough, and correct, no rack mounts, would need to devise something. Both the post and the rack are good quality being a Thomson post at 27.2 and a Bontrager rack that I bought at full retail at a LBS. My concern is the rack breaking rather than the post, even...

    Had a hard time again trying to fit the motor wheel, almost seems like a 2 person job, what a PITA. And I don't even have to rotor on there yet. Well I had to sacrifice the granny ring to fit the PAS ring. This thing is gonna work so good I wont need a granny right :arrow: :!: Glued in on...

    Its good advice to go slow on the filing and the dremel works great but maybe a little too good, tough to go slow. Think I went too far on one side but I got two torque arms so I still feel OK. A tight fit width-wise to get the wheel in there, I lost patience and moved on. Wish I saw...

    The space I was seeing is for the anti-rotation washers. Did not realize the one extra washer was a known fact, I thought it was trial and error, thanks.

    Thanks for the replies. It is a front motor so no freewheel but I definitely plan on a dry run install before any dishing. Seems like there is space between the motor and the forks for a couple of washers.

    Thanks so much for all the help, I placed the order for the 48V BPM2 front hub with the back rack Panasonic 48V11.6ah battery. I hope it is not too much motor for me on front as you guys have warned. I feel I need the power if I ever want to make the long commute. Too nervous to put a rear...
