    Chain link length

    I recently got a SA IGH in the mail, it came with a 22t sprocket, which is way too high for what I need. However I was out in the garage testing a length of 7spd chain on sprocket. the chain is 1/2" length and (I assume) 3/32" The roller width was okay, but when I wrapped the chain around the...

    Digital Multimeter reccomendation?

    My POS radio shack DMM appears to be dead. Any reccomendations on a replacement? Hopefully under $50ish? Its mostly just going to be used to check that my cells are balanced, etc.

    B cycle

    Neat bike sharing thing going into Denver. http://gizmodo.com/5530730/b+cycle-the-gps+equipped-bike-sharing-system-i-want-right-now Imagine that with e-bikes and the stations as charging station. How cool would that be? Pop downtown on the train. Only pedal bikes for now, but its a start.

    M-55 Bike

    This was up on Gizmodo. Apparently they are claiming 43mph out of 1300w. Looks interesting, I can't find a price or detailed specs though.

    Its alive!

    I installed my cyclone kit today. Things I thought would be hard like removing the bottom bracket, especially the fixed cup, actually came off pretty easy. It came with a cartridge bearing that I can't make completely flush with the BB, there are still a few threads showing. The threads are...

    Made the plunge.

    I finally did it. I ordered a 360w cyclone along with their 10ah LiFePo4 battery. I wanted the 500w originally, but concerns that it'd be too much motor for the 10ah battery, and a need to keep weight down since this is a commuter I'll need to carry everyday made me down grade a bit. I'm...

    NiCd Batteries?

    So I'm trying to decide on a battery chemistry, and I'm having trouble seeing if there is a big downside to NiCd. Lighter than SLA by a good margin Cheaper than LiFePo4 Supposedly high cycle and discharge rates. Pretty hard to damage Is there a "gotcha" that I'm missing? Do they not provide...

    Cyclone mounting plan

    I don't really like the under the BB mount of the cyclone kits, but the normal 3 chain ring kit doesn't look like it'd work either. I have a folder, so everything has to be attached to the back of the bike. Measuring the area where the rack mounts above the rear v-brake there appears to be...

    Cyclone LiFePo4 Batteries?

    I think I'm going to end up getting a 500w Cyclone kit, just looking for batteries now. Does anyone know if the LiFePo4 batteries that cyclone-tw offers with their kit are any good? Other than that, how are the Hobby King lipos? I only need about 10ah, and the hobby king lipo is much much...

    Prepping for first build.

    So I read through the 83 page monstrosity of a RC thread trying to get an idea of what I need to do a build. I'm not looking for max power, but for low weight and compact size. This is going on a 20" wheeled dahon folder so I have little advantage in geardown. 750-1000w would be fine. 1) The...
