    Ultra Tuning: Master Thread -- Start Here!

    That's quite low, as the full 60kg of pressure should output over 3200mV. What were your SPDxx table settings? What was your pedal crank cadence? What was your bike speed? Maybe try setting Full(kg) to some lower value, like 30, for the SPDxx columns corresponding to your bike speed up the hill.

    Changed my mind about my Gear Shift Sensor today - Disconnected it.

    No, the Bafang Ultra motor is normally set for at least some run after pedaling stops. The KeepCur(%) in the SPDxx table on the Torque Page is normally what people associate with this behavior. There is also a KeepCurrent(%) on the Pedal Page, but that's most likely an unused left-over from...

    Ultra Tuning: Master Thread -- Start Here!

    You don't want my Quick-Start settings, which I setup for my riding style, which is that I want to get the motor to assist me as I pedal harder. You basically want a throttle to get you up the hill. That's not a judgement, btw, just an observation. The first thing I'd ask/suggest is at what...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Torque Tab's SPD Table

    Changing the Delta Voltage table will change when max pressure is detected at any speed. Changing the SPDxx values will change when max pressure is detected at the speeds covered by the columns in which you change it. It's easier for humans to control pedal pressure at low pedal cadences than...

    In the Quick-Start post look for the rightmost column of Delta Voltage values

    Ultra Tuning: Master Thread -- Start Here!

    Note that the Quick-Start is a starting point. Depending on your bike, your fitness, and how you ride you should think about what is working well and what isn't. For instance, it looks like between the 38T front chainring and knobby tires that you've set your bike up for off-roading. So I...

    It's probably your KeepCur(%) values, which have to be at least as high as MinCur(%). Try setting each column's KeepCur(%) to that column's MinCur(%) and try again.

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Torque Tab's SPD Table

    Again, make sure you're doing a Write yourself after you've made changes. Do you know how this "special software" is setting the 45kph speed limit? Do you see the "45" listed anywhere on the Pedal tab or Basic tab? Presumably, it's not in the display, since I don't believe Frey ships with...

    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...

    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.

    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.

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

    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...
