Thanks. I'll look into it!

I've been thinking of doing just this, but went with this as a quick option (and only £10) while I look into converting. That said, when I looked into it in the past, I couldn't see all that many upsides to a ratchet system?

Nothing top exciting. Just new pawls for the freehub as after I last stripped it down one of then just seemed a little too slow for my liking.

Or use electrical tape to join the end of the old hose to the new and pull through that way. Always worked for me.

Very impressive. Is that with an E8000 motor? And the other E7000?

Yes, was planning on either adding another table for motor distance or could add another column for number of motors. Been rather nice out today though so have spent the time on the bike rather than updating tables!

All seem pretty sensible and obvious to me, with the exception of not using an extension cable. With the currents ebike chargers pull I really can't see it being much of an additional risk.

Your wish is my command! Some good distances so far, but nothing absolutely crazy. Was hoping someone would have hit 20k or something, although that would be some going...

Yes, I wish there were. And the ability to buy the ebike parts easily (motors etc).

Well, yes, but it's just a bit of fun! It seems like a lot of people change their bikes fairly regularly, and as someone who's planning to keep mine for a while was interested in who had done some decent mileage. Hours ride time would arguably be a better metric of use, but doubt most people...

OK, I'll get a little league table setup. Probably one for bike and one for motor (could be original or replacement). Obviously it's a disadvantage to those who change bikes all the time, but it's not my fault they have too much money 😉

Just hit 5000miles today on the bike, which seems high, but got me thinking there must be a few who have done mega miles by now. Taking the bike to really mean 'frame' as I'm already on the second motor! Leaderboard added below for bike mileage and column added for number of motors if provided...

Haha, yes, exactly like that! I swear I spent about half an hour searching the other day!

What do you call the little rubber plug some bikes have in the stem cap bolt? Mine had one which finished it off nicely, but I've now managed to lose it. Anyone know where to get one? I can't even find a picture to show what I'm talking about!

I think Seth did a video on them a while ago. From memory he showed they didn't do very much, but were a legal requirement in some ccountries so they come as standard.

Personally, I'm not sure only charging to 80% after most rides will make a significant difference. My spare batteries which I keep in storage I do that, but the main one I just charge to 100% each time.

I've read through the whole thread, and feel the pain. The only pedantic point would make, is that larger (or more powerful) brakes will reduce your stopping distance if the original ones can't lock the wheels. The limiting factor is the lesser of friction between tyres and ground and the...

Low. It might degrade the battery very slightly faster, but it isn't going to explode!

I'd be interested in this too. Mainly just to get better info on how much battery is left.

Are they shimano 203mm disks when the mounts are for 200mm perhaps? Bike looks great BTW. It's cleaned up really well - almost looks new!
