my brompton, in this year alone practically every single thing i own have broken down, frequently catastrophically, inbetween all that i invariably findmyslef serenely floating along on the brompton, its indescructible

paying £1.5 billion/annum to cover debt isnt irresponsible, or at least worrying?

i see where youre coming from (certainly scotland seem to have a sense of communnity that seem very absent here), BUT ethnic diversity doesnt have to mean competition: I'm a first generation migrant (of not too many years) who voted labour because i believe in a more shared community, much of...

yes, but isnt this kind of laissez fair approach to banks the thing that got us in teh doggy dooh in teh first place?

against the odds - seeing that we are comprehensively screwed for five years - i'm hoping this gets taken to its logical conclusion (some kind of manic consumerist dystopia where veryone hates veryone else, we're well on our way there with the torys) and that there's a more broad reaction...

may thanks, yes - but i'm afraid i have a very serious yen to waft around serenely on something heavy and relaxed this summer rather than the vibration of my current setup. If all else fails Ill have to put a suspension fork in a stretched raleigh loop frame

I'mjust installing a new suspnsiono fork on an old raleigh twenty - you can buy entire standard headsets on ebay for circa £6, i think yours is 1.5 inch if memory serves right? I'd be hugely surprsied if this fork headset combo isnt standard.

i think the s12s is 25 amps, which at 36 V is probably more like 8-900 watt, happilly BMS also sell the s12sh (35A) and s12sm(45A) if you want to push teh motor to its limits

dear all, last night i tried to retighten one of teh nuts holding teh battery to teh downtube and it (predictably) stripped it's aluminium housing's thread. it was a long time coming - the bike (an dold aluminium racer) simply vibrates too much and thsi causes a whole host of problems...

it sounds just the kind of thing i saw last time i went out for a spliff..

am with you on that - apart from EU referendum debacle and human rights act i work in the nhs where its increasingly a matter of picking up the pieces as social care is destroyed. It feels a step towards an increasingly fragmented, uncaring, frankly insane society.

I've got two conversions to my inexperienced name (the latest a decent kit from oxygen that really works). Here's one lesson i learned - a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing,the internet creates a lot of instant "experts" on the basis of someone having read a few threads in endless...

For what its worth, I think this process involves too much reading and speculation,it happens to many at the beginning,get away from the pc and spend a few weekends visiting 50cycles,woosh,kudos,decathlon (they have an impressive pedelec for 620)

To me the lack of hydraulic disc brakes and suspension fork would be a deal breaker. Good luck.

There are two sides to every incident. The last time a driver deliberately cut me off and forced me to stop to avoid serious injury, I was left in no doubt about her motives (or the likelihood of her pretending it was all an accident if I were injured). I didn't bang on her car because I was too...

There's no need to be such a cow,other people don't trample on your experiences

a lot depends on the kind of roads involved. i have a 12 mile commute - 38 minutes by fast pedelec (and faster than a car) - but i dont do it because its a dangerous road with fast cars without a shoulder and (t o a lesser extent) the crap british weather. if tehre were a cycle path i'd do it...

Well,apologies if I misunderstood your post. Butbi'm not sure its necessarily a matter of "almost always good guys" having a Hyde part of their character provoked by getting behind a wheel. I suspect it can all be a more disturbing phenomenon, but i perhaps i took milgram's experiments or lord...

I bought one and stuck it on a btwin triban (budget racer from decathlon),I'm happy with the kit - very,it cruises at around 26 mph in a 700c wheel and a very steep hill only becomes undoable when I had an all up weight of over 110 kg on the bike. When I bought it wiggle were selling half decent...

i do a fair amount of driving myself, as part of a job. i think the safety of other road users, comprehensively, trumps any frustration a driver may feel about britains road conditions. in fact i dont have much sympathy for that kind of stress, at all. in fact i dont think it justifies road...
