16T freewheel mod. Brings speed from 16mph to 20mph, lessens torque though. Much better for where I live. Only other "easy" mod is 36V if you have an 07 or earlier bike.
I'm not saying the temp is definitely the cause just an odd coincidence that it's the first time below freezing and also that it only flickers up hill and works when spinning the wheel in air.
Today was the first time it has been below 32 degrees F (26 to be more precise) and I took my bike out of the garage to begin my ride. I noticed right away that the cycle analyst speedometer has stopped working as I start climbing the first hill on my route it starts flickering between 0 and 7.x...
41.7 @ 1500 watts(probably a tail wind when this happened) normally it's 36-38mph @ 1500 watts
3000 watts should get me to 44 or 45 but I haven't tried yet.
Yes that's slow, I'd like my bike to average 35-40. You'll pedal yourself silly in a very short amount of time trying to keep up at 32mph (on flat) with 48T/11T gearing.
Someone over on mtbr.com opened up his MS pack that was having some problems and the voltages were: 4.27,4.27,3.86,3.86 here's a link http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=667581
Glad I just bought that lyen DC-DC converter but I'm debating taking it off because the extra voltage sag costs me...
I don't think a pedal failure or seat would be the worst thing possible as long as both don't happen at the same time.
I'm going to keep this thread in mind next time I want to try 50 mph down my favorite hill
Saw this earlier this week and got their mass e-mail few days ago.
It's not all Magicshine batteries being recalled only the ones sold by Geomangear(aka if you bought from another seller your SOL), they will be recalling them and supplying everyone with new batteries sometimes in the near...
8.4 is the max voltage because that's what the MS battery pack puts out.
My cooling mods are continuous 40 degree 30-35 mph wind.
Lots of people run them at 12V, my 10 is somewhat conservative.
