$10 DIY Smart Charger Alternative / Updated_Ver 3.0 @<$30 Been using some version of this since 2020 with a pair of 2a, a 4a and 5a charger without issue. Charge to any SoC desired. I mostly use the 2a charger as I have plenty of charge time between daily rides. I've yet to have a charger fail...

That's a good question as it's not rocket science... but as it stands now it seems to be beyond what the bike industry can produce reliably.

Seems hydraulic shifting has too many flaws to be practical. A few years ago a third party came out with hydro shifting for Rohloff and it died quickly. Cables are just reliable... >9000mi and it just works. And what ever the set up, once acclimated you just do it second nature without thinking...

Contemplated that myself... Just to lazy to be a beta tester these days. That and I have >5000mi on my current KMC e8 chain and still not at 0.5

What bike / motor /battery do you have? I have a Bafang M620 w/860C display My display % is off as well... But the display can be set to show voltage which is very accurate. Here's some info... https://www.batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808b-what-causes-li-ion-to-die/...

Somebody should look into a cable shifter hack. 🤔

I concur.

If you don't use all of that in a single ride you can even tighten that number ( eg 70/30%) if you don't mind charging between every ride.

Glad you're rolliń again and that you like them. Typically a smooth tread will have a lower rolling resistance along with being quieter so if anything your speed should increase slightly. I wonder if the overall circumference of this tire is larger resulting in a lower speed reading.... but...

... and yet there's not a single republican who will cross him no matter the circumstances and they're setting the stage making it impossible for a democrat to ever get elected again.

My brake line as well as the Rohloff shift cables take the same road. Having dropped the motor before... I wouldn't even attempt to snake a replacement. There's just too many tightly spaced direction changes as well as some small wires that could be damaged in the motor cradle.

Well that can be a bit arbitrary but personally I would consider anything over 1 month long term storage. That said, best practice is just that. Near 50% is the batteries happy place and when kept there it's most stable. Obviously the longer the time, the more beneficial it is to do so. In the...

Like I mentioned earlier... Storage charge according to cell manufacturer white paper is 40 - 60%. You can further see this when you buy any new device with a Lithium battery.. It's alway at about 50% BU has a lot of information on all batteries From the above article: Simple Guidelines for...

Yeah that doesn't sound like fun. I guess a third alternative would be to set the bike up inside as an exercise trainer 🙃

I think the motor wear under such minimal load would be negligible.... That said under such minimal load it'll take a while. Unless you're snowed in... I'd dress warmly and just go for a ride. A little more difficult for me to use the light bulb method as my battery disconnects output when not...
