    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Torque Tab's SPD Table

    OK, here's something new to check/try: On the EggRider's Display tab, there's a setting called "Bafang Switch Mode." That can be set to "Only Live Data" or "Live Data and Settings." Here's an excerpt from the manual: Make sure you have "LIVE DATA AND SETTINGS" selected. If you have "ONLY LIVE...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Torque Tab's SPD Table

    For the first effect, it sounds like you might be missing a configuration setting. Here's what you need to do: 1) On the Basic tab: Set Speed Meter Signal to 2 even though you have only 1 magnet 2) On the Basic tab: Set the "Wheel Diameter" to the value that's closest to your actual tire...

    Road weenie karma

    I’ve had nothing but friendly chats with analog road bike riders that I’ve encountered. And often waves from those traveling in the opposite direction.

    Schwalbe Johnny Watts (and other Schwalbe SUV tyres) User Club

    I looked at 3 of our tires and couldn't find anything that looks like a date. This marking appears to be in the same location as your date: All 3 tires have the same marking. Anyway, since the new JWs aren't made in the size I want, I'm going to order these since while the ones we have will...

    Bafang Ultra Recommended Chain

    I've been running the X01 chains on mine and my wife's Ultra/GX setup. Last time I checked we have over 2,000 miles and hardly any measurable wear, using a Starrett digital caliper.

    Bafang Ultra Recommended Chain

    It's not yet 4 years old. The website/company got bought and the new company didn't migrate all the content over. Here's a summary article that's still live: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/4-key-facts-from-the-cycling-tips-ultimate-chain-test.html Here's another more recent article...

    I found them for $65 shipped. How long do tires last in storage?

    Schwalbe Johnny Watts (and other Schwalbe SUV tyres) User Club

    The Eddy Currents look good if I was exclusively off road, but my riding is a mix of pavement and trails and I like the smooth running of the Johnny Watts.

    I have the 27.5 x 2.8 original JWs. They've been great, but it looks like that size isn't offered in the newer version. I really want that extra width. I did find one source for the originals, but at $100 a pop I'm hoping for something better priced. I won't need new tires until next summer is...

    Shimano XT Levers - two styles M8100 vs M8000

    They're Deore so they'll work perfectly. Actually, pretty much any Shimano lever will "work" with any caliper since the outside hose diameters are the same (5mm), and that's that the olive attaches to. Some levers/calipers were designed for the smaller inside diameter hose, some for the...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Voltage Section of Torque Tab

    As a result of an off-board discussion, here is some additional information that might help you grok the Delta Voltage table. It's a different enough way to think about it that did some edits to the first and tenth post in this thread. While the table is laid out such that the input is pedal...

    Bafang BBSxx series, Apple Mac access to programming!!

    FWIW, I believe Parallels works well on the ARM-based Macs for Windows emulation. I personally still have the last Intel-based MBP on which Parallels works perfectly - I have two Windows only apps that use COM/USB ports to connect to hardware and assignment/use is quite straightforward.

    1UP-USA Racks - I'm a fan

    For a single, the 1UP is probably fine, but for 2 bikes there are issues using the ramp for the second bike. Also, if your axle to axle distance is too great, you have to be sure the arms are ALL the say down, and even you've got to lift quite a bit above the tray. And the locking mechanism...

    SRAM / Brose motor

    I'm kind of excited about this. I've done a lot of Bafang Ultra tuning, but in the end what you can do is limited by the motor's controller just being ignorant of what's going on with the rest of the bike. Knowing more about what gear you're in and being able automatically choose gears given the...

    Speed = Cadence

    Note the diameter in most displays is not the actual tire diameter, but the nominal wheel size OK, so a 29" X 2.3 would give you 2326mm to 2330mm. That's off by only 1.1% Some charts: https://www.schwalbe.com/en/reifenmasse https://www.cateye.com/data/resources/Tire_size_chart_ENG_151106.pdf

    Speed = Cadence

    Surely you can choose a different "stock" size on the display. I'd play around to see if a larger stock size ends up with closer approximation of your tire's actual circumference.
