    What stupid thing did you do with your bike this week?

    Not "with" my bike, but for it... There's a small trail near home. From time to time it need some maintenance, like cutting branches, tapping rain holes... and so. Last week me and my sons went to the trail to cut some branches. Well, we suffer bee attack. Even with some stings, I was decided...

    Newbie with steel parts... Is it worn out ?

    Probably not... lol Yes, I do have a chain wear tool. Just got 0.75 I was thinking about just change the chain... but once the LBS said that I should replace all, I decided to wait until be sure on what is happening. So, by the way it looks, there's no issue to replace only the chain ? Maybe...

    Newbie with steel parts... Is it worn out ?

    Yeah !!! The first pic is what I'm used to see, even that missing tooth (lol). And the jockey wheels too ! Rounded borders, leaning to an arrow-ish shape. But now I know what to be looking for in the steel gears... Thanks a lot ! By the way... The chain just got on 0.75... I was wondering...

    Newbie with steel parts... Is it worn out ?

    Ok, silly question. I'm used to have aluminium cassete and chainrings... Now that I'm using steel parts, I'm a little lost here. My lbs says that I should buy new cassete/chainring/chain. IMO it seems to be kinda ok... but I'm not sure. What do you say about them ? What I should be looking at...

    Best Emtb Wheelset?.

    Hummmm... good to know. I'll check if I can find it in some Decathlon around here. Never saw this kind of parts there. But nothing in Brazil is cheap... lol My intention is to buy only the rims (my ROVALs are dented) and mount them in the original SPZ hubs. Probably get new spokes too. Thanks !

    Is this "charging formula" correct ?

    Here goes the news... I said that I would make a "charger controller"... and I did it. How it works: 1) I plug the charger into my controller 2) I turn the controller ON, and press start button 3) The controller energizes the charger 4) After some seconds, the sensor starts to read the...

    Is this "charging formula" correct ?

    Well... Like I'm a IT guy, I had an idea and I'll try it out. I'm making a project with an arduino. The battery charger will be plugged in it, like a "wifi timer". But the arduino will check the coclour of the charger led. When it comes from red to green, it will turn the power off. This will...

    Is this "charging formula" correct ?

    I kinda understand opinion that says "read the manual". BUT... Imagine if SPZ (for example) starts to write in their manual: "Don't go up to 100% all times, if you let the bike for a period without use, leave it at 60%. But if it's for a short, no problem. But if you let it at 60%, next time go...

    Is this "charging formula" correct ?

    You're kinda right. But I live in Brazil and the reality here is a little bit different.Think like if a replacement battery would cost about US$11.000 for you. So, for my reality, I want the battery lasts for my entire life... lol I'm not that dude that can afford to buy a new bike every year...

    Is this "charging formula" correct ?

    Hummmm....I don't know how do I suppose to use it. Plug my bike.... and how do I know when to turn it off ? Will it be just an educated guess on how much time it will have to be "on" to reach 65% ? Could you give me some tips on how to usethis plug timer ? Thanks !

    Is this "charging formula" correct ?

    Well, I'm new in this e-Mtb world. I was reading some posts about battery care/recharging and ended up in this website: https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-lithium-based-batteries And I'll quote some infos from there: "Most Li-ions charge to 4.20V/cell, and every...
