Do not use the beta6, it has a major bug with the menu.mauri_78 said:Hi, i haven't erased but before i had stock firmware. This is my first installation of open firmware. Do you think that i should erase all and then reflash?
I was thinking to downgrade to 18.2 i have seen that there are a lot of users that are experiencing problems with 0.19.6 version.
Someone suggest to use the display firmware 0.19.5 with motor version 0.19.6... Problably there are some bugs in this version.
Please give me some suggestion i haven't more experience with this firmware.

hefest said:I need opinion.
i have 30km on ODO now and starting to get the feel of the bike. Recently I noticed that when I'm starting by putting pressure on the pedal, there is "notchy" feeling coming from the motor through the cranks. It seems to me like I feel the gears "clicking". It goes away when the bicycle starts moving, just with that initial start I'm getting this.
Is this normal behaviour that I didn't notice previously? Or did I somehow manage to wearout the blue gear already (PS: And I avoided overtorquing it as much as possible).

However, the light specifies 6-60 V DC supply and:
Requires at least 7.5 W nominal output of the drive system's light connection
Does the tsdz2 (6v for light, controlled through display) provide enough A (1.25A) for this light?

That's normal. The motor needs to calibrate at start, if there's a pressure on the pedal the calibration will be wrong and you get a weird behavior of the motor.
Just to understand it, try to push strongly either forward or backward at start during calibration, and try to ride (on a safe place) you'll see why it's important to not put your feet at all on the pedals while starting the motor.

I always leave it to turn on without touching pedals so I don't think it's that.
I'm talking about feeling clicking through pedals every time I start from the standstill, on traffic light for example.
There is a supposed to be a delay in the power applied based on crank rotation in the original firmware to avoid using power when stopped with a foot on the pedals. No rotation=no power. Some of the aftermarket firmware turns this off. If there's just one click after a partial rotation it's probably just the power coming on. If it's clicking the whole time you're stopped I would say something is wrong with it.hefest said:el_proletario said:hefest said:I need opinion.

Yes, the chainglider works like a charm. Be sure to take the right sizes front and rear though.el_proletario said:Did some of you install a chainguard with this motor ? (Especially with an internal gear hub). Any recommendations or warnings on compatibility ?
I'm about to order one of those :

yes it will fit i swapped mine out for a 36 chain ring as well, on 26 inch wheels and a fairly standard mountain bike casset i find the gearing to be perfect with the assist.
i would try to find a narrow wide style chain ring though, i splashed out on a hope one but raceface and others make them.they are much better at keeping your chain on.

What IGH is that? I have Shimano Nexus 7 and the chainline and shifter are a possible issue. I'd love to do that.knutselmaaster said:Yes, the chainglider works like a charm.

Ugh, just hate that 5x110 selection is limited and very expensive. Just installed 11-40 cassette (had 11-34), wonder how much easier it will be. Still want 36t on front though.
knutselmaaster said:It is a nexus 8. Chainline is perfect. Everything is original, no problems with the space between the motor housing and the chainring, no problems with the space between the chainring and the bashgard. I used the 42t chainglider in the front (short version) and the one suitable for 18t in the rear.
In any case, the chainglider is suitable for nexus and alfine hubs, I have it on several bikes in my shop.
Thank you very much. Chaincases are almost unkown here in the US. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on one. I have a TSDZ2 Nexus 7 bike. 44x19 gearing. What do you guys do for chain maintenenace with those? How is it different than an exposed chain? Maybe a wet lube but less often?knutselmaaster said:It is a nexus 8. Chainline is perfect.

I could sell you one and send it to the US but that will probably get quite expensive.Retrorockit said:Thank you very much. Chaincases are almost unkown here in the US.
