    Houston TX, Free stuff (gone, FuzzyWuzzy)

    I am moving 400 miles from 2400 Sq Ft to 600 Sq Ft. I have a lot of stuff that has to go (disappear). I hate to do it like this but I have mess and I am short on time, space and resources. So anyone in the Houston area that wants to come and collect it is welcome to it. This is all or...

    LiFePO4 Voltage Chart

    I was trying to evaluate an old LiFePO4 battery and went looking for a voltage chart. The one that I found did not have 36 Volts (12 cell series). So I took the information and cobbled together a new chart. Perhaps someone else will find it useful.

    58 Volt Fuses

    It has been my experience that finding fuses that are actually rated for E-Bike DC voltages can be challenging. Mostly what we see are 12, 24, or 32 volts DC. However this evening I ran across some that might be of interest: 58 Volt Terminal Block Fuses They ain't what one could call...

    DC to DC Solid State Relay (SSR)

    Please forgive my gross ignorance but is there a reason that Solid State Relays (SSR) are NOT routinely used to switch ebike battery power on and off? Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GP5ZRTN I am guessing high current loss through the load side.

    Brake Light, Motion Activated

    Well here is something that I have not seen before: A bicycle brake light that is automatically activated when one slows down. That could be useful ... if it actually works. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203710387168

    Battery Pack, 48 Volt 20 Ah LiFePO4 cells

    I really do not want to build a battery pack but the Shark battery pack I was going to use on my current Giant Revive E-Bike Build is “Tango-Uniform” (you children that do not know what that means should ask your grandfather). I might be able to fix it but it is likely too close to end of life...

    Power Inverter for Electric Bike Battery

    I have a couple of old sine wave 12 Volt DC to 120 Volt AC inverters. I used to have then installed in my vehicle to occasionally run a power tool. Maybe I live a sheltered life but this is the first time I can recall seeing a 120 AC Volt inverter specifically advertised for an E-Bike...

    Bafang BBS02B Speedometer Sensor

    Can the BBS02 be run without a Speedometer sensor? Is it directional sensitive ? The "rat tail" is an interference problem anywhere I try to stick it.

    Direction for IS Caliper Adapter

    This is probably another one of those "but everyone already knows that" questions .... I do not. So I am looking at my IS Caliper adapter (purchased via Amazon of course), I note the arrow on one face and assume (never a good idea) that it indicates the direction that the part should be...

    What is in your tool kit ?

    I am trying to come up with a minimal list of tools to carry. Strictly for emergencies of the type "Darn, something came loose". More extensive repairs to involve getting the bike transported (do not leave it locked to a utility pole or tree). This is what I have come up with...

    Rear Freehub, Direction to remove

    OK ... so I have ordered a 6 inch long 12mm hex key with a 1/2 square drive. (My Husky brand Allen Wrench set only went up to 10mm). I do not want to make it any tighter than it already is. Stupid question: Which direction to rotate the wrench to loosen it? For inquiring minds: Why do you...

    Bicycle Chain: Stupid Questions

    As I have primary ridden rear IGH hub bicycles, I have always used a standard 1/8x1/2 inch chain. Now I am looking at the 48 sprocket for the BBS02B and the hyper glide 8 speed cassette. The existing chain measures 7.11 mm outside the wide links and 2.31 mm inside the narrow links. The...

    Giant Revive BBS02 Mid-Drive

    This is the actual build thread for my Giant Revive with a Bafang BBS02 Mid Drive. There are two other threads you might also want to look at: 1) This is the thread I first started when considering purchasing this bike/frame and the feasibility of installing a mid-drive motor...

    BBS02 Line Drawing (Side View)

    So I was looking for a good line drawing of the BBS02 to use for a layout of my current project. I was not satisfied with what I could find on-line. Thus I created my own in ARES Commander as a DWG drawing. I used real dimensions where I could find them but some of the details are a wild...

    Giant Revive Semi Recumbent

    Spotted this on the local Craig's list (Giant Revive DX): Now there are at least one or two opinionated individuals on this forum and I am seeking an opinion(s) :) Someone here once said that the best way to get a smooth ride was a long rear swing arm. I reckon this thing qualifies in that...

    Narrowest Fat Tire ???

    I have a stupid question about fat tire bikes: What is the Narrowest Street (as opposed to knobbies) Fat Tire that can be mounted on the existing rims of a 26x4 fat tire bike (example: Bolton Fox Bat)? https://boltonebikes.com/collections/mid-drive-ebikes/products/foxbat

    Well that is different ... E-Trike ?

    I check the local Craig's list at least once a week. This week there was a somewhat different 3 wheel E-Bike listed: 2022 RUNGU DUALIE https://houston.craigslist.org/bik/d/kilgore-2022-rungu-dualie-xr-rubicon/7492447539.html FYI That thing is sporting a Bafang Mid-Drive. What were they...

    Guadeloupe

    I am considering a extended vacation in Guadeloupe (a French overseas region, an island group in the southern Caribbean Sea) next winter. I am curious to find out if there are any Forum members that live there or are familiar with those Islands. merci

    Shockster

    Recently Chalo mentioned a 'Shockster" in another thread. This is a circa 2000 "Rube Goldberg" device that is intended to add rear suspension to a 26 inch hard tail mountain bike. I thought, well that is interesting .... but I could find very little information on it. I found a few reviews about...
