May I take this opportunity to welcome myself to this wonderful new bike group. Again I must thank Katherine Chen for getting me past the initial difficulty I experienced getting started.

I am from Tasmania, Australia - Hobart, to be precise! I have a 2013 Giant Talon 29er which has a Cyclone 3000w mid drive fitted. I've recently upgraded the battery to a 72v 20.8ah but there's a bit more to do before I'll be back one the road with it.

I'm really enjoying acquiring the knowledge I don't yet have, but crave. Until it becomes my area of expertise, most of my questions will pertain to this bike!

I'm looking forward to chatting with a few of you e-bike conversion enthusiasts. For those who can afford the top end e-bikes, you are the people I envy!

..... cheers, Norty
