Hey stop stealing my smileys!  ;D

Hey guys I can't believe the cold today for the 7th June, I don't want to go out on my bike and there is some heavy downpours around too. Frost forecast for nights this week, I've never seen frost in June!!!

WTF is going on? This is weird, we had the coldest winter on record the last 2 winters, and this is summer. I want heat!


And yeah Ginge hurry up!  ;D

Okay I'll hold back on the Monkey time ;)

But I'm in total agreeance with you!@@!@ But I'm on the other side of the world, and winter LOL - even still there was forcast for snow in Melbourne last night. Didn't happen but it's cold enough, if it did it would have been the first time in my life its snowed in the suburbs here in my life!!!

I have come to a conclusion, that working on bits on the bike so much in my cold shed has given me a huge coldness tolerance. I used to be 3 pairs of pants, and numerous layers (as if I was going to the snow!!) but now I'm down to 1 pair of pants, 1 tshirt and jacket and I'm feelin only a little brisk!!!

I would say to you have a big cup of cement and harden the F#$^ up@!!!! hehe jks ;)

Currently 5deg celcius right now haha thats crazy

10 deg C here, not fair. I want at least 25!

Something funny sure is going on with the climate that's for sure! I hate to see what this winter will have in store for us!

AH maybe I should go out and pedal I have no batteries yet, so that would warm me up!

It's crazy my batteries are still out of stock!

OK Cheeky Chimp, it's time for a new title, "Gadget Man" it is.



Now you have your own cape, just like Gary. ;D

10 deg C here, not fair. I want at least 25!

Mark, I'm sure you'll feel much warmer knowing it's currently 25° in my little "office", and 16° in the garage. ;D

Mac Man?

They both seemed to be appropriate for you, Smiley Man or Emoticon Man just didn't sound right.

Still havent reset my controller from the GM Mini, so running abot 500 Cont, 750 peak watts

dinge ? .......honey wine ???

I find it takes about 30 minutes to spoke the rim, and about 1-1.5 hours to true the rim, taking time, drinking, adjusting, drinking drinking, adjusting, dwingkin, awdjustin, dweekin, adhusteen.....blkinkeen, mujahadeen.........looks fekin straight to me.......lers go ;)

right then, controller, powered up to 20 amps cont, 50 amps phase, and some issues developed ( however this is a 6 fet mini thing) , however I have heard of this problem on the mac, where phase versus cont current @x2.5 can cause this.....

However the stuttering clearly caused some over phase issues, as the little plastic covers on my phase connections melted :), yay now thats what im talking about ...melted plastic.....easy rider  ;D ;D  :P :P :-*

so with no pedal ~( and as usual, im abusing the ~$£" out of it........)

no pedal ....28 MPH on the level
pedal.......30 MPH on the level

So if I instigate the 120% setting, im in to 34MPH....( on the slow wind mind you, fast wind is on its way from china

did some acceleration from 0...the motor is well able to handle it....but the noise.....its a different beast

I think if you want  to comparet the noise with the pie......think cat purring to dentist drill....both hum, but.....

Saying that, its not that bad, ....just not a pretty noise, not elegant like a DD motor, but its light, will power up hills, willl freewheel

Ill do a massive comparison thread soon

however this mutha needs composite gears ( I have one steel too), and some alphawire love

Ill continue on a new post, comparing all three motors :)

Mark, got cellman to answer eventually,, spare composite gearset  coming also, 8T wind :)

I have a serious recommendation you guys and your primo testing should try a small wheel diameter.

If I had ground clearance with my frame I would have dual 16'd my bike but went 20" to be practical instead. I've never, and won't go back from smaller wheels!!!

I can pedal my dual drive without any assistance for great distances, uphill I do admit its a bit of a challenge but it isn't that bad. I can't do that on the 24" ebike I have.

Just wish I lived in NZ so I could make an uphill video of this baby


I have however, sourced some very decent local hills I'll be hitting up once this thing is finally finished :D

funilly enough, I have been given a small BMX frame, ( but a pro one, with embedded tubes, if that makes sense)...just waiting for money, my spoke cutting tools, etc etc....

What, monkey, is the advantage of the smaller wheel racer In your opinion ( apart from BMX handlebars :) )
