Seems like this sort of borders on talking religion - like asking about motor oil on a moto forum

I get it that if you have no past presta...

In the US every state has it's own laws

At the federal level the 28mph bikes are not class 1 or 2 and so usually can't go the same places...

[AZguy]

The 11 and 12speed pins have M-shaped bevels where the plate engages and the plates' holes are chamfered to fit in the pin bevels - many of the wider...

[AZguy]

The narrow 11sp and 12sp chains are stronger than the wider lesser speed chains - one reason is they have machined pins that are much more difficult to...

My bike came with presta and since I already have presta compatible stuff I never bothered to change it but I prefer schrader, particularly for fat tires...

BBSHD's don't have torque sensors, only the cadence sensor and PAS operation doesn't need to be affected by speed at all if you set it up that way...

[AZguy]

It could also be increasing the reduction ratio

Not saying that's what they've done but if you want more torque that's one way of getting...

[AZguy]

There is a pedal cadence sensor in the motor that detects pedal movement - how far it needs to move, the time it takes and the amount of initial power,...

Solid state will have to shed heat

I've got a project like this on my back burner... seems every time I get back into it I get distracted...

[AZguy]

In the controller

If overheating, bigger rotor is better

If you are overheating from long downhills (more common) then organic pads on aluminum plates is best...

[AZguy]

You should only need to spread them apart

[AZguy]

One thing to keep in mind is that since you mention hills, a ≤750W hub (like rad) will completely choke on slopes at some point of steepness - if any...

It also works just fine in tubes

There are pros and cons to tubeless vs. stans in tubes

Sticking with tubes is super easy and...

[AZguy]

Sounds like you may have a gear with a bum clutch - silly easy to verify and if so, return!

[AZguy]

There is an overrunning clutch - shouldn't be any magnets

If it can turn freely in both directions on the shaft (it should only turn on the...

[AZguy]

What is the LVCO (low-voltage cut-off) set to?

[AZguy]

There's a magnet in the gear? First I heard of that

Hall sensor would stop the motor from turning altogether, not just the chain ring

[AZguy]

FYI - MOSFET's don't "cut out" when they overheat... their resistance (RDS(on)) does goes up a bit which causes them to get hotter and can in...

I have one bike that I mostly loan and so it doesn't see a lot of miles and have about two years on the current set so decided to top them - I went ahead...
