Are you sure your hall/phase wires combo is correct? There is one combo that will make the motor spin backwards and so it never engages the clutch. I had the same thing happen to me when re-wiring my BMC V2 motor from a BMC controller to a Crystallyte controller. Just kept trying different wire...

If the important thing was to just get you back home... then just cut the old tube off.

Yeah the 6 month mark is really to make sure your bones have mended and fused up solid enough. Your doctor can better tell you (after a couple of post-op xrays) how well your bones are mending and when it's safe for you to put heavier loads on them. Until then be careful and patient. Last thing...

Good to hear you're up and riding again Greg. You took a lot less time to get back on than I did after I broke my shoulder because I couldn't put any weight on it for the 1st 3 months.

Good luck on the PT. The range of motion excercises can hurt like hell at first but they do get better. Any words of advice so the rest of us can avoid the same ordeal?

Wow Sandy really hammerred you guys Greg. I hope you were hunkered down pretty well recovering from the shoulder and all. And yeah you prolly got enough batts to power yourself if you had to.

Lol... the GoPro and that angle bracket takes a pretty good lickin'. What a fun little distraction while raking leaves in the yard.

No I'm not getting one anytime soon. Can't justify getting a HERO3 Black right now. I still haven't outgrown the HERO2.

Eeeeew... fresh road kill. I love the view with the GoPro low and facing rear Greg. Awesome! BTW GoPro is about to release their new HERO3 action cam. They use the same mounting location (rear axle facing rear) on Ducati sport bikes on their new video promotion. Check it out. I also love the...

Looks like GoPro is releasing it's brand new HERO3 action camera and it looks awesome! Who's getting one of these? No word yet on when it's supposed to hit the retail stores but GoPro is already taking pre-orders. The $399.99 USD is a pretty hefty price but I guess some people will buy it...

You just took apart the covers and swapped sides right?... and not remove the bearings right? So the wobble is most likely from the side covers not seated properly to the center magnet ring. It would definitely be worth rotating the covers to see if the wobble can be minimized. And while you got...

Only 6 miles... no wonder you're so hard on your motor and controllers. If you break down pedaling home is difficult but still doable. And no wonder you can get away with a relatively small battery pack. My commute between work and home is 35 miles one way with some pretty tall hill climbs so I...

The USB/programming cable to your computer only lets you program NEW SETTING values. It doesn't let you read the existing settings. And your Lyen controller will only accept the new program settings if it's POWERED OFF.

The 2.35" Big Apples are very good tires. I used a set on my commutes to work (which is over 70 miles a day (350 miles a week) for about a year and a half. So they should be fine for you on your 100 weekly miles. They're light and roll fast but because of this they tend to transfer more noise...

The Schwalabe Big Apples were made light and strong to roll fast on the street. The Hookworms were made as an alternative off-road freeride tire that doesn't have the knobbies. That's why the Hookworms are so much beefier than thet Big Apples.
