    BMC v2 wheel spinning free.

    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...

    Sidewinder Easy Fit Endless Inner tube (24 & 26 Inch Wheels)

    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.

    GoPro HERO3 - Coming soon

    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...

    GoPro HERO3 - Coming soon

    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.

    Schwalbe Big Apple 26"

    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...

    Schwalbe Big Apple 26"

    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.

    KMX Cobra

    Sweet vid Gaston! You scrubbed the last $10 of rubber from that tire onto the pavement. :wink: And I hope you were holding your breath thru most of that toxic smoke. :mrgreen:

    Is that just a loose crank bolt or did the bottom bracket go bad?

    FalconEV 19" triangle bag.

    Yup ... works great! The shoe polish is mostly just black dye, oil, and wax. and it's the oil and wax that helps separate the painted rubber logo from the canvas. So with some work with a good stiff brush it comes right off. If you like the color of the dye and do the whole bag to make...

    FalconEV 19" triangle bag.

    Why advertise the Falcon brand logo anyways? Rub it all out with some black shoe polish. :wink:

    EEEEEEEEEEEWWW YEEEEAAAAKKKK... don't swallow any of that water!!! :shock: You can't move around much or you stir up the bottom and little chunks float up and form a cloud around you. And the flashlight beams look kinda cool but are pretty much useless in that thick and murky bottom. Just...

    15s 15aH?

    I know the OP doesn't have a 15s charger... so for discharging doesn't make much of a difference whether you parallel 1st or series 1st. But for charging (especially if you're bulk charging) parallel 1st is better since you'll only need to break half the connections to charge. And you can charge...

    Noob here with a legit question about disc brakes

    Justin at ebikes.ca sells an Ahlonga low profile mechanical disc brake caliper for $30. It's supposed to be thin enough to fit fine between the front forks and a 9C hubmotor. Look in the Store - Parts - Brakes section. Also, you can remove 1mm or 2mm of material from your bike frame's disc...

    New 12 lb Crystalyte Motor

    Yeah I'd be very warry about the performace claims that High Power Cycles makes on the equipment the sell. IMHO it's a lot of fluffed up marketing that (in the past) they just haven't been able or willing to back up with hard, cold test data. Remember this video where they push a little over...

    Cameras Are Cyclists’ ‘Black Boxes’ in Accidents

    If you look at his other videos you'll see he's just using a GoPro Chesty mount. But since he's reclined back on his recumbant bike it does look like it's a crotch angle but it's actually just above his stomach.
