I'd have guessed the stator too. If you take the cover off the side you might be able to see if your coils are burnt out/discoloured. If so that's probably the cause of your power loss.

I hadn't noticed it said that! Updated now! :)

You can get complacent believing digital torque wrenches are more accurate but this isn't always the case. Traditional or Digital, most are only guaranteed for 1 year from first usage. If accuracy matters to you, then you need to have it torque checked or calibrated. I'm in the UK and it...

The UK, England!

Its the unexpected views that make it all worth it.... It looks serene, but around 100m behind me was the busy A1 motorway with the roar of constantly passing traffic disturbing the peace!

Depends on how big the hole is! :D Although I've never had much of a mess. Wipe clean and patch it, good to go. You don't want to put too much Slime in or you'll knock your wheel balance out. You really want just enough to coat the inside of your tube and little more.

You need to add the Slime before you get a puncture. This way it will seal it as soon as it develops. I swear by the stuff. Always worth buying quality inner tubes, and buying tyres with a layer of puncture protection built in. I carry a Spare Tube, Slime Scab patches, and also a can of Zefal...

Thanks greeno! I'm really liking them! They had them in 160's too but I wasn't sure whether to go for them or not. I didn't think you'd feel that much of a difference having cranks just 5mm shorter, but you really do! I use to get quite a few pedal strikes so I'll see how these fair. I might opt...

All fitted. I don't think they look too bad! :) I might even have to clean my bike to make it as shiny as the pedals :D Amazing how much you notice just 5mm difference, these new crank arms are 165mm, the standard bafangs are 170's. Slightly different offset, about 27.75 compared to 30...

They've arrived! :D Will try fit them this afternoon if possible :)

I tend to ride within my bikes limits so I don't fear it as such but it's certainly happened to me once or twice... one time around 25 miles from home and I was seeing 20% left on the battery. My backside wobbled a bit then... I made it home but it was a long old slog of a ride, mostly under my...

Hello peeps, Does anyone have any recommendations for a rear mud guard for the Frey EX? 27.5 2.8 tyres. I've been using a Mudhugger and although I can't fault its mud stopping abilities, the cable-ties it uses to attach with are prone to breaking which isn't ideal out on a ride. This has...

A few shots of the damage. Cross threaded a bit and at an angle, it didn't want to come out easily! Lots of debris, threads heavily worn away Turned the Camera flash on - shows up the threads better. Still some definition, but shallow ridges, no depth in cut. I doubt they'll hold out for long...

So I've already been ordering new parts :D I opted for the Hope E-Bike Crankarms over the Mirandas. Hopefully the build quality justifies the extra cost! Slightly shorter than the standard ones at 165mm. Also got myself a new set of pedals, keeping with the Hope theme I went with the Hope...

Yeah it's crazy really. The grounds of Ashridge House today are some 5,000 acres. In its heyday when Kings and Queen's stayed there, they would have also owned most if not all of the surrounding farms. I don't think they done much with it as such, but ownership was status and power. The boaters...

My pedal felt strange this evening when I noticed it was almost about to fall off. Luckily I was only 5 miles away and throttled it all the way back home. It's now half out and twisted at an angle. The threads are clearly damaged. I don't have much faith it will tighten properly again...

I have about 1300w between my two batteries on my Frey EX. Real world usage I get between 45-60 miles in range depending on many factors. Terrain, elevation, wind etc... I tend to ride 30 mile rides so I'm well within range, at least most of the time.... I know if I can empty the tank in 15-20...

A few photos from my recent rides.... Pegsdon Hills Nature Reserve, this whole area is just a cycling delight. Strange rare breed sheep! Look at those horns! Worth riding up the hills for views like this.... The Grand Union Canal. Slightly jealous of the people that live on these...

Check your side walls too for deterioration. I rode a set of tyres for about the same length of time and the side wall gave way, left a bulge that I thought would pop on the way home - luckily it managed to hold out!

500w isn't exactly underpowered - it's twice the power of anything available in Europe, but more is more... These are quite heavy bikes too!... On the programmable Ultras (uart based) you can set for both power and speed. But chances are you'll receive a canbus based motor, and it's not...
