Gary, is there any sort of automatic spellcheck on this website, or a bloody breathalyser lol ...i got a breathalyser installed on Facebook, the forum needs it hehehehe

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Despite my complaints with China, I have the pie up and running and I'm as happy as Mrs Miggins in her pie shop!

Pie loaded, battery charged and went out for proper testing yesterday. Fantastic!!

Went out with 20Ah 48v battery and covered 15 miles continious with ease. The terrain was less hilly than my commute route but will test that tomorrow. Battery green light indicator did not ever go off (which seems to good to be true - less than half a battery for 15 miles). Because I want to pedal I've already found that staying in a very high gear and just changing up and down the large front cog works a treat.

Ginge - massive thanks again for your help with just about everything especially the forks and torque arm.

all that worry was for nothing    glad you've got it ssorted, China definately do not help elliviate stress.  Sounds like you've got very nice battery pack to run with the Pie

[Webby]

Yup, I'll post a piccy later as my cabling was inspired by you Andrew   

so your right, all my toys are back in my pram - its now a world of pure piedom.

Cheers for the help with the washer idea!

[DirtyGinge]

And after I left you webby, got to go and install brand new shocks and springs on my zafira.....working till 11 last night, makes you realise why we are cycling....

DIDNT EVEN DRINK

you and andrew are both running the same battery packs give or take 10%....remember to monitor very closely when charging

bad news on the car, actually in Feb I spent £600 - wish I had known about the land of pie then as would not have bothered.

OK now for some pic's (Andrew please check my tidy wiring - nearly as good as yours. BTW I'm thinking the bike looks better than I thought on a 700c - notice the inbalance in that the rear does not have a pie (yet) 

Lights etc will follow when have some more cash ..

[DirtyGinge]

looking nice ,

so most of yesterday rearranging and rearranging wires, stroking the pie, re-arranging wires...up and down garden for more cable ties lol

[Webby]

yep! lol

can't believe it was mothers day today - the event has kept me away from my bike and looking after kids instead! Now normally thats fine and I like catching up with them but the day after a pie install  - come on that is just plain rediculous. Shocking - don't people know that every day is pie day? 

Ginge - I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow. Extensive mileage testing and recharge timings - I'll be baking my pie all day

Sorry about that Gary, it's just that it took me so long to correct the other 50% that I finally had to admit defeat!

It's a bit like weeding the garden, just when you think you're nearly finished, you find loads more popping up all over the place.

ah, so its not my special " its only 11% I swear, stand up like a man" wine then ( beer for you aussies said Ginge taking off his coolie baking  gloves)

[MonkeyMagic]

Hey nice build Webby, I really like front wheel drive bikes

[DirtyGinge]

Hey kevin, done any software changes yet, any impressions if you have ?....ready for a full day of work ?weather looks good, light rain lol...

Got my new front forks today and fitted....Marzocchi dirt jumper 3's, and my full face MTB DH helmet, so morning should be entertaining at least......the donkey is looking......well, scruffy and unkept, like a good himalayan donkey should

Bikemad, controller on its way, should be with you tomorrow hopefully if citylink don't manage to lose it

Thanks again for that Ginge, I've volunteered to help the wife sort out the end of year accounts tomorrow later today, so I'll definitely be at home. I'll let you know as soon as it arrives, providing it turns up before I go to work, otherwise it will probably be around this time again.

I'll let you know as soon as it arrives

It's arrived, and it seems a whole lot smaller than I thought my other one was 

I'm hoping it will fit without too much hassle, but it looks like it may have to wait until after Easter, because I have got a long list of things that I must do before my daughter's wedding.

Thanks again Ginge, I will let you know the outcome when I've had chance to install it.
