    Looking for a strong non-residue tape?

    I have jigged a stand made out of wood where my battery will rest on the triangle. I've enclosed the battery in a padded cooler case. The case is colored red so I'd like to wrap it around with some sort of black tape (mainly for stealth reasons). I've thought of duct tape, but that usually...

    Half cm flexible tubing to funnel hot water?

    This is not bike related, but you guys have been so helpful in setting up my various ebikes, I'd figured I'd ask here. My fridge icemaker is not working and one of the solutions recommended in another site is to use a turkey baster to shoot hot water up this hose, which is pointing downward...

    Ideas for reinforcing a brace/shelve inside the triangle?

    I want to rest my battery pack on this platform while at the same time enclose it in some kind of ballistic nylon case that will be velcro strapped to the top tube. I've tried just suspending the pack in a velcro case before and eventually the fabric tears. I'm thinking a platform will have...

    Is a dinple or dent catastrophic for a hub?

    I just noticed that one of my golden motors hubs has a little dimple, like a rock hit it or something. I don't know who it got there. However, it is powering up and running fine. it is very small maybe smaller than a dime. It is also at the top close to the spokes. This is a direct drive...

    Is there such a thing as flat bottle cage screws?

    I'm looking to build an enclosure for by battery that will go in the triangle. I plan to fasten it to the bottle cage holes. However, all the bottle cage screws that come with bikes have a raised knub or nipple. Need all the room I can get. Have any of you seen some flat or low profile ones...

    Diagnose my Bionx PL350 problem (w/pix).

    A few days ago my Bionx stopped working. The display went blank and I could not get it to turn on again. I checked my external wire connections and they all looked good. When I tried to hook it up to the charger, the red light on my charger came on, but the one to the right of it did not. It...

    Is there a "Batteries on Sale" thread?

    Did a search in this General Disc. section, but nothing came up. Am I looking in the wrong place? It seems to me that conversion kits are a dime a dozen and you can find good deals on craigslist for people that have gotten tired of their ebikes. However, batteries are seldom included and if...

    My GM build.

    See the controller hidden under the rack. I will eventually add a red reflective stick-on to further hide it. I wrapped some of the connectors around old bike tubes. It could serve to protect them from rain, too, but I haven't really ridden in a downpour. Toggle switch: Super stealth...

    Where do you get your electrical connectors etc...cheap?

    I've got a couple of radio shacks that are in malls and their selection leaves a little to be desired. It seems that they carry cellphones, cell batteries and more consumer items than the stuff that the hobbyists are interested in. So, do you guys recommend any online places that can sell me...

    Anybody add a disc brake to a rear golden motor?

    I currently have your basic rear golden motor with a 5 speed sprocket. Was wondering if anyone had modded their rear GM motor with a disc brake? I've seen a couple of sweet mtbs with discs that I'm coveting. How difficult is this, if possible? I don't have a lot of fancy tools, and am not...

    Ok, I ordered the following triangle pack from ebikes.ca: http://ebikes.ca/store/photos/B3608CdT1-EL.jpg I also got the custom fit triangle bag. Now, I'm looking for a full suspension bike that would fit this pack in the triangle. Any front suspension only bike would work with this pack, but...

    How do you install/remove handgrips from your bikes?

    Any tricks to removing and installing handgrips without destroying them? On my build I went from a thumb throttle to a twist grip and back again. In the process I had to destroy two handgrips because I couldn't remove them. Any lubes you use. I understand LBSs have air guns, but that...

    Possible to hang a battery from triangle suspension spring?

    I would like to get your opinions on hanging a battery bag from a suspension spring in the triangle of a FS bike. I don't have a picture, but I drew the following crude drawing. I think it would be ok since those thick springs don't compress that much (at least that has been my experience)...

    My full suspension candidates for my planned ebike.

    I'm looking at the following bikes for a planned ebike conversion. All have front discs and are full suspension. I plan on doing a rear hub. I think front discs are extremely important because of the weight I'm carrying and the speeds. I am a little wary of these xmart bikes because my...
