    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?

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    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...

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    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.

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    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.

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    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...

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    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?

    Big speed reduction after installing 3 punture proofing item

    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...

    One (33g + aaa battery) spoke light - balance?

    Has anyone tried these ones on ebay? Would they add a lot of wind resistance? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12Pcs-Bicycle-Bike-Mount-Wheel-Rim-Spoke-Tube-Strip-Reflector-Yellow-75mm-New-/292044043053?hash=item43ff2e732d:g:xBkAAOSw32lYuViO Is there any risk of anything like this coming off of...

    One (33g + aaa battery) spoke light - balance?

    Thanks, Maybe I'll look into strip lighting, I was thinking of getting reflector tape for the wheel rims, would that be good?

    One (33g + aaa battery) spoke light - balance?

    I was just wondering if for a casual electric bicycle rider a single spoke mounted wheel light at 33g with 1 x aaa battery placed will unbalance the wheel (700c size) to cause any noticeable negative effect for casual general riding. Just comparing some basic spoke lights, there are smaller...

    Lots of punctures - replace with solid or puncture resistant

    Ok but the cst is actually nearly new I've only ridden a few times. Could new inner tubes with some sort of puncture resistant liner strips be an acceptable option for now?

    Lots of punctures - replace with solid or puncture resistant

    Ok thanks so I won't go for a solid tire. I'm not sure if I should just take it to the local bike shop or order something in and try to install it myself. The tire I had was a CST Traveller City Classic 40-622 700x360. So I'm not sure if that's good or not, I could just get new inner tubes of...

    Lots of punctures - replace with solid or puncture resistant

    I was riding slowly on a path and there must have been lots of three corner jacks because both my tires are filled with about 30 causing many, many punctures. :( Some broke off leaving the spikes in there which are hard to remove. I was thinking would it be a good idea to go to a solid tyre...

    Lion - charging the day before?

    How long will lifepo4 last if you use it until the power drops off, vs having a meter?

    Lion - charging the day before?

    Ok sounds good, but I only have a basic charger with no settings for charge level. Also is it worse to charge to 80% then discharge to almost flat, than charge to 100% but only discharge to 20%?

    Lion - charging the day before?

    With a Lion ebike battery how crucial would it be to charge it the same day you plan on riding it rather than the day before and storing it fully charged overnight. If done all the time how would this effect how long the battery would last?

    Leaving charger connected but switched off?

    Ok thanks. I always unplugged it when it's not charging so far, I was just wondering.
