Nice one. Yeah, Ill swop over to a longer valve soon. My 'controller case' arrived today from China. It was the best one I could find with the potential to fit. It turns out it was about 3mm too small so I had to adapt the interior. I also had to remove all the wires I dont use from the...

The bigger wheel would surly mean higher top speed (albiet at the mercy of losing torque). I'm currently struggling with simpler issues than wheel rebuilds etc... The damn valve in the conversion motor wheel pulls itself back into the rim when inflated, meaning that I can't top up air because I...

Ah ok cool. Ill look into the brake post extenders! Yeah, I'll make sure the bike is setup right. Thanks.

Thanks, Yeah, but can my ebike 'voliamart' kit do re-gen braking!? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Voilamart-Electric-Conversion-Intelligent-Controller/dp/B06XXQK2MD

Yeah, Ive looked at the potential for a brake post 'adapter' but I cant see it happening. Its all very tight in there. Not much space and you'd need an 'L' shape braket to move the pad lower. It just seems easier to make it a 27.5 rim... unless someones made a bracket already!?

Thanks man. So you can buy spokes that are a variety of lengths but all fit the same holes?

Also, This looks like it'd be awesome if I had any clue what size the hub was or where to measure it from. http://www.ebikes.ca/tools/spoke-calc.html

Ok so £49.99 I can get a 27.5 with 36H. Thats not so bad... Now, Im sure there must be a spoke length thats very specific to a DD 1000W motor on a 27.5 with 36H!?

Thanks! So thats a pita! Just realising that the spokes numbers aren't the same. Is there a 'standard' of sorts, where I can buy spokes that will fit a 36H 27.5 perfectly with my DD hub? I dont know what size the hub is but Im sure the 1000W hubs are all the same size?

Today, I bought a used Carrera Valor 27.5 bike for £90 and I've moved my DIY ebike kit over from my crap 18 yr old steel MTN bike. The hybrid shape has force me to put battery on the top bar but I kinda like it. Its kinda like a 'petrol tank'. Its very cool. So, I'm mixing 26 inch DD rear hub...

Cool! Thanks. Well, i got it together and took it for a test ride. All good! I just removed the switch and the 5V. I'll sugru the holes. I've now got an anti spark switch instead of the battery switch. I dont understand the point of the switch on the Hailong. I have the anti spark in the frame...

Hey, Here ya go...

SO, Im DIY building a Hailong Dolphin case (14s4p - I think its a Dolphin) and my eBay BMS is making it soooooo tight. The only way I can make it work is to remove the switch on the side and remove the 5V phone charge port. 1. Has anyone done this without removing anything? 2. How can that...

This sounds promising... So, why not choose 60V instead of 72? Is 60V aimed at lead acid batts?

Thanks man. I'll keep this forum informed... fingers crossed!
