Yes, there are charts on this forum and all over (just search) that will give you a rough (it's pretty rough) correlation between state-of-charge and...

If you mean "breaking in" the battery you should definitely do 100% charge to balance for the first half dozen or so times you charge
...

[AZguy]

Rule(s) of thumb, at least for me:

Higher charging finish voltage reduces life cycles of a battery, how much is hard to say

[AZguy]

Yeah glass would be a different thing, big enough slice isn't likely to get sealed... it'll be interesting to hear your results - maybe you should run...

[AZguy]

Stan's works great in tubes - they don't advertise so much for tubes as tubeless but right on the bottles they put the instructions for tubes... the tube...

[AZguy]

Yes - another very big reason it just doesn't make sense to do this, at least in my eyes

It's not that it can't be done but beyond doing...

I just don't know enough about them but will say that since I have no issues with flats and it's hard to see me complicating things, I'm pretty lazy like...

[AZguy]

If all is well you won't see any signs beyond possibly a thorn that's lodged itself in the tire... I've never seen residue... I've seen multiple thorns...

FWIW I had put brake sensors on my hydraulic brakes but not only found they weren't worth the hassle, I much prefer the bike without them.

I have joked that when the coroner puts me on the slab he's going to say I clearly led a rough and tumble life

I'm pretty much scarred up...

Rub dirt in the wounds, you get better scars


Pain is temporary
Glory is forever
Bones heal
Chicks dig scars

I ride my BBSHD electric bike all over the place out here and pretty much all the users except MTB guys really seem to like the bike... equestrian users...

[AZguy]

FWIW another option for traveling compact is to simply remove the front wheel - I can't speak for this bike but when I travel with mine it takes all of...

[AZguy]

The battery "level" indicator is just a voltmeter bargraph. The display is likely set for 52V battery which would be why the 48V battery always...

[AZguy]

Pretty much

After you add up the tools, material, time to research and acquire the skills it's not likely to make much sense for a one or...

[AZguy]

FWIW pretty much any EV battery including bikes are very different animals than RC batteries and not just due to the higher voltages and currents
...

[AZguy]

Nominal voltage is roughly the mid-point voltage and state-of-charge (SOC) during discharge and for the cells we typically use, is about 3.7V. Max voltage...

[AZguy]

There are smaller batteries although with supply chain issues maybe hard to find and frankly an 11.6Ah is a nice size - for me large enough for most rides...

[AZguy]

Yeah the wattmeters have an internal shunt so need the high current wiring and aren't suitable for handlebar mount, they are cheap though

...

[AZguy]

Maybe missing some magnets on the cadence sensor magnet ring or it's on crooked?
