@Woosh - do you know what the power % on this for each assist level - I'm fair wooshing along, even up some smallish inclines in pas level 1 - I was doubting the speedo read out , but checked it today against gps - it is correct. Maybe the larger 48t front cog is helping my pedalling effort...

Bought a few things off AliExpress - battery mount, hydraulic brakes, tools, Bafang rear hub kit (came from Poland but was significantly cheaper than ebay)- all been fine so far - no duty to pay so far. Try to use trusted retailers, topbikekit, greenergy etc where I can

Mahle x30 ? I've heard of the x20 and x35 but not x30. https://mahle-smartbike.com/x20/ https://mahle-smartbike.com/x35/ There does look like aftermarket speed derestrict devices but they look very expensive, probably void the warranty and would be illegal unless insured / registered...

I read it like that too

No - never had them posting or replying on pedelecs

Just one tweak that I made, so to recap I got rid of the front derailleur and chose the 48t front cog that came with the kit (you can choose a smaller cog). I noticed when I was using the highest gear (11t cog) that it was occasionally slipping. I wasn't sure what was doing this, if it was the...

Who knows - makes a better headline ? Get more clicks ? - I never trust journalists to accurately report science - have a look at The Telegraph, Times, Express, Spectator, Mail reporting !

GRL Paper ....Global mean temperatures averaged for the last 25 years (1980–2004) over land and ocean were 0.38 ± 0.14°C and 0.19 ± 0.06°C respectively, above the 1961–90 climatology. These numbers suggest a warming ratio of ∼2.0...

Yes - thanks - that is the link that I followed - that is to a news report on a wmo report : https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/new-report-shows-impacts-of-climate-change-and-extreme-weather-latin-america-and I skim read the wmo report and I don't think it makes any such claim -...

OK - bear in mind it takes a little time to look at each link Africa WMO "State of the Climate in Africa 2022" https://library.wmo.int/records/item/58070-state-of-the-climate-in-africa-2021#.Y2E5kezMJR4 So that included a useful graph which I think answers your original riddle If you look...

My source is NASA https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/global-temperatures You'd have to look exactly what each claim is based on - I suspect news channels are incorrectly summarising scientific research but I will have a look at some of those links

Don't think I have attempted to answer that question. Could you link to one particular claim ? Around the equator warms least quickly and the poles most, (and I guess most people live a fair distance from the equator) but I would be surprised if there's a lot of difference. I have a vague...

2015 !! Here is the relevant section of IPCC AR6 WG1 (2021) https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/chapter/chapter-2/#2.3.1.1#2.3.1.1.2 Looks like a raft of subsequent studies showing Mann was correct and his critics were wrong

1) All there graphs are temperature anomaly not actual temperature ( so temperature difference against a baseline period) 2) There aren't actual thermometers on these MSU satellites, they infer the temperatures from irradiance for different levels of the atmosphere. The lowest level of the...

It doesn't matter, you are being fed a line by people that know it doesn't matter. This has been done to death by climate sceptics. There are tens of thousands of temperature measuring stations across the world, you actually need only around 80 to do a global temperature reconstruction as...

Pointless questioning the historical surface temperature record. It has been reproduced many times using many different sets of stations using different methodologies by different groups and it always ends up with nearly identical answers. In fact the Cowtan and Way "independent" analysis...

Yes, as far as the torque sensor specifically is concerned I like the simplicity and intuitiveness, if you are exerting pedaling force, the motor assists, if you aren't it doesn't

Global Greening is a symptom of the well known phenomenon - the biosphere absorbs a lot of man made CO2. Even accounting for that CO2 has risen from 280 ppm pre industrial to 420 ppm. The worry is that as emissions increase the biosphere will not be able to absorb the same fraction of CO2...

It's brilliant - few quick observations - will do a fuller review later So on one of my bikes (Carrera Vulcan) I had the ubiquitous ebay / amazon / Ali Express 48V Bafang G020 / SWX02 (12) motor kit with cadence sensor, throttle, brake sensors and light with the bog standard speed based square...
