By your description I'm going to guess chain stretch. It's unusual though to have a chain stretch that much in 600 miles. I'd recommend purchasing one of these for future use...

Have you been able to get in contact with Pushkar for a definite shipping date?

How long have you been waiting?

I was waiting for the 'Karens' ( Calhoun & Djangodog) to start whining about never listening to music while they ride. You two just couldn't stop yourselves, could you?

I usually ride while listen to music (Shokz bone conductor headphones). My main music source is Spotify. I also have the Amazon music app on my phone, but it tends to stop working on a regular basis, so I seldom use it. I also us my Apple watch to record my cycling. 👍

Here's a photo of the Archer wireless unit installed on my bike. Just for the heck of it I weighed the bike, without the battery and motor. 35.0 pounds.

My frame doesn't have the internal wiring ports. No wires running through the frame, except for the derailleur cable that I pulled out this morning.

I'm thinking of going with an Archer wireless shifter, like F&F did on his WW bike. I already have the unit, which is not being used right now, so I wouldn't have to purchase one. With the way the cable is now routed the motor would have to be dropped to replace the cable.

I think you hit the nail on the head. There's connectors that don't connect to anything, plugs that don't connect to anything, clearances that are WAY too close for proper wiring, and cables that shouldn't be routed where they are. Overall, I still have a soft spot for this bike, but this bike...

Nope. Kindernay is on the Hydra. WW did something weird with the rear derailleur cable (see the photo below) The cable runs along the chain stay (#4), then goes into the frame (#1) and runs between the motor and the frame plate. Then it exits the frame plate (#2) and carries on along the...

Smorgasbord, the wire that goes into the downtube comes back out again is the same wire. It's really long so whoever put the bike together stuffed the excess it in the downtube. I just pulled the motor back out and it looks like both of the wires from the battery came loose from their...

That's a good question, smorgasbord. I can't help but compare the wiring job between my Hydra and UC Pro. The Hydra's wiring is tidy, while the UC Pro's wiring is a bloody mess, with multiple wires/connectors that don't connect to anything. I couldn't wait another week for my new display to...

Yes, the Anderson connectors were the main problem. For 75% of the space between the motor and the frame plate there's not enough clearance for the connectors. I did have some electrical tape around the connectors to make sure they didn't come apart while I was trying to fit and bolt the motor...

This is a DIY kit that I'm very interested in, but it looks like there may be a crank bearing issue. Check out High Voltage's video:

J.R.'s solution is the easiest. I can no longer find the link, but I know there is a relay that can be added between the power source and the light to turn it into a flashing mode. I found it on one of the LED light forums.

I finally got the motor bolted to the frame. 🥳 It took me an hour to the install the 3 bolts because there is VERY little room between the motor housing and the motor frame plate. Whoever designed this frame should get a big kick up the arse. There should have been an increase in depth between...

Ravi, looking at the handlebar grips I can't see how a bar-end mirror can be mounted. Usually, the end of the grip can be taken off or cut out and the mirror mounting plug put through the hole and tighten on the inside of the handlebar, but with the grips on the Photon the tightening bolt for...

5000 miles....is your nickname 'Iron Butt'? :D

I like riding in hot weather, but not that hot! Yikes!

I'm on my second pair of Shokz bone conductors. After a couple of years the first pair's speakers detached and eventually failed. It was a common problem for the early model. I wear mine for riding, gardening, and walking my dogs. Great for listening to music and podcasts.
