Just checked my e8 chain. Double official KMC Headquarters issue. Ridiculously hard to use... Though no tools were harmed in the process. Again thousands of miles on the much more user friendly knockoffs and that's what's on my bike now and have been for a while. I did purchase a Shimano 10s...

Yeah PC... You gotta get your missing links from Headquarters!

So see knowing something and being able to implement it without purposely training isn't much help. Allowing hundreds of accidents to occur isn't something I would recommend to anyone other than Stefan 😜 I can't tell you how many drops I avoided by putting a leg down and pivoting back to balance...

Depends on the speed and terrain but tuck and roll can be a better choice... don't try to break your fall with your hands or face.

Yes and no... Sometimes you put yourself in precarious situations and full well know that a crash is possible. A true accident you don't see coming and is harder to defend. That said... Hundreds of accidents and you are definitely doing something wrong or just oblivious. All accidents are...

In my conversation with APT the manufacture of the 500c and the 860c that I'm fond of... The information is coming from the controller and the display is just that, only a display. So Ananda may be doing a better job with the controller and 3rd party batteries since they don't manufacture...

But still hasn't learned how to avoid them.. Got it.

I'm thinking scooter. Much easier to to handle/store and no wrinklling of clothes or getting your olives basted.

Since I ride pretty aggressively and have had very few accidents, especially those I didn't see coming ... I wonder if it's a good idea to take the advice of someone who has crashed hundreds of times 🤔

But for clarity.. The full 100% charge doesn't change the battery's capacity, its to keep the percentage fuel gauge accurate on the display... Correct? I've always read the calibration instructions reversly. You drain the battery down near cut off and then fully charge to mark the low and high...

Might be something to do with the KMC 6,7,8 sp quick link... The one that came with my KMC e8 chain was ridiculously hard to close.

I've yet to have one fail and my bikes are 750w and 1000w mid drives. They outlast the chain. But like you said I do carry a pair of spares in my tool bag just in case. Can't go through all that to wax a chain. I use Boeshield T9 which is basically wax in a solvent. After applying you let it...

The KMC ones can be very tough, especially on first use so I tried some knockoffs and haven't had any issues in many thousands of miles. Risk Quick Link Mucho easier and take the amount of force one would expect. So cheap... no reason to reuse.

My Samsung tablet. They've had this feature for years. I've been following this advice from Battery University and set my version of the DIY Smart Charger to optimal charge voltage (51V for a 48V battery) by default In terms of longevity, the optimal charge voltage is 3.92V/cell. Battery...

Well you're a unicorn. When you say it works... Is it that it does eventually show a lower percentage? This is the first I'm hearing that anyone finds them accurate or useful. There is no calibration for them other than setting the correct nominal voltage.

I think the caliper and zip tie conspired to flock with you. I'd bet the brake pads were in on it too

Next time spray lube it and hit it with a heat gun. .... and yeah, route it correctly 🤣 .... and .... and... I carry a little eye dropper bottle with some WD40 in my bike tool kit. 1 with isopropyl alcohol too 👍

Well you did all that's doable. Using voltage becomes second nature after a few weeks

Welcome to Bafang. Supposedly they are functional when used with a Bafang battery.. Continue to ride down to 48v and see what happens, but at that point it's useless in my opinion. And are you sure it is set up for a 52v battery in the display settings... if it even has that feature as there...

Most of them show 100% until the battery drops at least 5v from full. There's nothing to do... But how far have you drained down the battery in volts? That said you answered your own question... Just forget about the % and familiarize yourself with using the Voltage reading.
