conversion

Simple conversion kit to turn your car into a comfortable microcamper. It can easily be inserted/ removed from the boot whenever needed (no fixings required). Only selling as we've upgraded to a bigger van. We've used this in our Peugeot partner but would also fit similar sized vehicles eg...

Helo all recumbent riders. I'm wanting to convert my recently acquired (second hand) HPVelotechnik Grasshopper from under seat steering to above seat steering so if you have (or know anyone who has) done the opposite and still have the redundant above seat steering or you/anyone you know wants...

Do u need to use the Hall effect brake sensors if u have hydraulic brakes,I’m toying with fitting a bafang mid drive

I have an older Trek carbon frame that I trashed by severely bending the derailleur hanger. It’s sitting in my barn, staring at me reproachfully every time I go in to get my shiny new ride. This morning, I was wondering if there was some way to convert the dropouts to accept a fixie/single...

It's been two weeks since i asked advice what bottom bracket I would need for my apollo tuck folding bike. I can't see any reason for staying on this forum. So moderators remove my membership

I'm looking for a conversion kit to turn my wife's 700c hybrid into an Ebike, can anyone recommend a good uk legal and compliant kit that has a good cadence to power delivery, I have used one in the past that was awful, you turned the pedals and it shot off at full speed, it doesn't need a huge...

Right re my last post re ebike I'm gonna go down the conversion route IV watched a few videos and it seems mid drive is the one to use, fairly easy to fit ,and no messing with my existing brakes or stuff I'm thinking 36-48 volts and 500 -750 watts ( I know it's more than legal allows but in...

So i have a Carrera Crossfire 1 bike, currently it once again has issues with his gears and his wheel hubs are gone. Now i can change this but to be very honest it is'nt worth the investment for me in terms off, for the same money i can be a second hand. However currently everything has...

Apologies if there is already a thread running of this nature but after a half hearted search I couldn't find one. First of all; E-bikes, factory built or converted - they are not cheating, they are just different and people choose them for a myriad of different reasons. And we cannot all be...

Which old mtb frames would be the best for conversion to gravel/commuter/beater/fun bike? I was looking at a rigid Stumpjumper but realized it doesn't have any rack/mudguard mounts.

Hi all, I'm hoping to pick the brains of those far more experienced than me! I’m looking to convert my Elephant bike (refurbished Royal Mail bike) to an ebike - photo attached. It’s a pretty robust steel frame made by Pashley, weighing in at at hefty 23kg! The main issue I can see is that it’s...

Firstly, let me apologise for being too impatient to trawl through the many SS/Fixie threads (which I'm sure already contain the answers) but, as always your knowledge and experience would be greatly appreciated. I have decided after many months of pondering to convert one of my two Cannondale...

I have a 20-something year old Trek 6000 which has, at various times, been my play bike, commuter bike, exercise machine and London transport alternative. I really don't see myself doing any real mountain biking stuff in the foreseeable so the bike has become my exercise and grocery shopping...

Does anyone make a plate that clips into a MTB type Shimano SPD pedal that allows standard trainers to be worn ? Would like to go for short rides with the girls (10 & 8) without wearing my cycle shoes. I know there are dual type pedals available but just looking for a simple conversion plate...

Hi all it’s been sometime since I’ve posted in the forum. Had a year of bad health usual stuff lost weight and muscle wastage. Ive decided get myself back into cycling to help I’ve converted my Surly LHT Using a bafang 250w mid drive motor connected to a 17 amp hr battery. Had my first ride...

I did a DIY conversion of my Brompton (https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/variation-on-a-nano-conversion.251868/) which uses two small bottle batteries rather than one larger one so that it fits on the Brompton without affecting the fold. It then occurred to me that buying two batteries meant I...

I've just done a Nano-based conversion of my 2006 Brompton, but I did not want to use the Nano electrified luggage block/converted bag system, but instead to have the battery mounted somewhere on the frame. I found a 36v bottle battery on eBay that is smaller than the usual ones, at 5.6Ah, so a...

I've undertaken the task of converting my wife's new Genesis Columbia to an ebike. Its I think a good candidate with being steel frame, internal gear Shimano hub with disc brakes I did a little research of battery sizes available and made a guesstimate if the battery would locate in the frame...

Hello guys, I'm looking at changing my Specialized Crosstrail elite to single chain ring. Never use the granny ring and I like the simplicity of single. To be able to keep my chainring at 44T, Maybe even increase it slightly, with a narrow wide chainring, It looks like i'll have to use a Road...

Is it possible/practical to convert my Day One to a Steps system? I really don't want a hub motor, so if the Steps is a 'no go' is there an alternative?

I am going to attempt (and that is putting it mildly) a body swap using the guts of a 7speed Uniglide into the body of a 7speed Hyperglide . If it works it will be fitted to my Vitus 979 rebuild. Has anyone done this type of thing and if so would you share the experience ? Pitfalls and all :smile:

Here’s a cheap hack. I had a pair of the standard Brompton roller wheels lying around after changing for eazy wheels, so I drilled out the river to remove the standard single roller, then found some threaded bar, nuts, washers and 3 spacers (from inside skateboard wheels), drilled out the...

My wife doesn't like cycling as much as she should, even to get around town. I think an ebike conversion for her Trek ladies hybrid might help. It is a mixte style steel frame with steel forks and 3x7 speed on 700c wheels What are the options for conversions ?

As the title, after some brifters to convert a flat bar hybrid to drops, but I'm open to suggestions on the exact config... if you've bought the gear to convert something similar but never got around to doing it and fancy offloading it, come at me, bro :okay: Not bought anything yet so looking...

I've read through a few of the other conversion threads but either I missed it or I didn't find the exact answer. I'm thinking seriously of converting my flat bar '97 Marin Bear Valley to drops due to getting some hand discomfort over longer rides, which I don't get on drops. It's a 7 speed...
