1000 mile update

Everything is still working very well and with the DMV installed to monitor the pack voltage I have been getting more use out of the pack which has also increased recharge times. Longest recharge has been 5.5 hours after a 30 mile trip. I've lost count of the recharge cycles but estimate around 120.

Longest commute is 34 miles without a recharge. I've regularly done the 52 mile trip with a 1.5 hour opportunity recharge at the midway point with no problems. Still have wear issues with the 23c tire due to the excess weight of the pack and will try a different brand then the Michelin's when it is time to replace.
