re mileage - isn't that largely dependant on the sort of country you ride, and how hard you ride? For example, the op's seat is way back, I'm guessing it's not steep country. Much less stress on everything. Every km my bike does is generally hard - up or down and always lumpy with baby head...
I'm new to tubeless; I made my own sealant. I have a 5kg sealed bucket of brush latex, a bit lumpy, well over 5 years old. I have the other ingredients too (I do my own vehicle servicing). For a coagulant I used wholemeal flour :ROFLMAO:. I tried it on one tyre, the rear. Expecting that I could...
Hello all. I have just learnt about the 80% charge advantage for life of the battery. I'll be buying a timer - for me 80% is fine for the majority of rides that I do, so with a timer, not a big issue.
With that in mind, how do you know when the battery is at 80%? Mine (e8000 with e7000 display)...
I was just reading through this post - I'm gluing a magnet too. I think your problem above is that the magnet is up against the lock ring. The lock ring is magnetic - I think you've made the lock ring an extension of the magnet! The sensor wouldn't work with that - I think it wouldn't record any...
Just updating what I've found. I have a new rotor for the rear that I'm fitting on a merida; I have to add a magnet to it. The measurement of my existing rotor with magnet is 68mm diameter (or 34mm from the centre of the rotor). I was able to measure with a vernier caliper because the magnet is...
Yes, they are listed as front because not long ago most frames did not use direct mount, only the forks did. Now most new frames use direct mount. I think the offset mount is 160-203. Like you, I have a merida - 180mm direct mount. This means if you use 180mm rotors, you don't need any adapters...
If anyone is interested I found this charger - prohibitively expensive for me. Saw a video where a bike shop has one, which would make sense. It can charge all sorts of batteries but you need to buy the right lead for it. This can be programmed to charge slow and up to 80%, or whatever...
Yeah, I have no such thing :) Maybe I have? I'll look while it's charging next time. It's shimano, the power comes on while it's charging. I don't think it shows the bars though (pretty sure it doesn't). My only other option would be pretty random guess work using a timer :( Unless there is some...
Awesome, yes I finally understood that, thankyou for confirming it. The problem looks like how to charge it to 80 or 90%. It also looks like the length of time that the battery remains in a fully charged state is an issue. At this point I'm thinking charge after every ride but just before a...
2 years warranty plus 5 years reduced cost of replacement motor? Have I missed something? Or am I way out by expecting 7 years out of a bike? My acoustic bikes are 8 yo and still good. This is all new to me.
I read the article - it actually confirms what the dude said in the video. I think what you're referring to is storing the battery at 100% charge, which is damaging. The video actually says not to store the battery at 100%. After reading the article, the one change I will make is top up...
OK, I didn't know that. Personally I only charge when I have to - eg 2 x 20km rides in eco, then charge. There were a couple of other points though, like the failure of some chargers when it gets to 0 degrees? And the 30min wait etc.
I think the adapter you have is for 160 (160mm direct mount) to 203. I researched these a week or two ago. I have ordered a 203 rotor. Currently I have a 180mm rotor mounted directly - so I needed a 180 - 203 adapter. I found it pretty frustrating - many sellers don't say this, they just...
After a ride, do you wait 30mins or so before charging? Or do you charge it straight away? I see you're from NZ - it must be getting cold there now :oops:. The video link might highlight a few possible causes.
Yeah, sure. I think your spreadsheet is still a great idea. I was thinking I'd get 20,000km or something like that :D. It also puts the battery life into perspective - not really the issue. And knowing what you've told me about specialized is a big thing too. Affordable cycling for 7 years is...
You might want to read this first. I was shocked. I have an e140 and love it. I bought it with climbing in mind (it's really steep here). I have no problems with the bike geometry - just my skill level. It seems just fine descending too. Nothing screaming out anywhere after coming from an...
Sheesh. If that was me I'd be back to acoustic - I will if that happens. The bike I have was a big expense. Compared to a motorbike these are looking very poor value. The least the industry could do is make replacement motors very cheap.
