    Dowsing for Water

    But there is precisely zero evidence it is possible (certainly no proper double blind tests) Magic seems a good a description as any. Dowsing should be consigned to the scrap heap of homeopathy , crystal healing, chakra realigning and other such nonsense Fools and their money ....... is my...

    Which battery for a 350 mid drive?

    Many variables here e.g. How much effort you put in, wind, assistance setting etc. Also, can this battery output enough amps to cope with the system demands ? Can you link the exact one ? I would suggest it be a very close call for both ways . And I also suspect you won't want to pedal one way...

    Advice Needed Re: Waterproofs for Commuting

    A poor choice of words on my behalf. What I mean is I don't try to.keep my feet dry. I wear socks and trainers. They get wet and I change into dry socks and shoes at work. I don't cycle in bare feet !!

    Advice Needed Re: Waterproofs for Commuting

    Oh I should add that distance is everything For first 2 years I had a commute of 7 miles round trip. Cheapo stuff was fine. Next 6years it's 15 minimum depending on route. Nothing cheap lasted for that much time of downpour I guess that's why hydrostatic head tests are timed

    Project X , emma's folding e-trike

    There is a broken 20 inch bike on gumtree in brighton. Sounds like throttle or controller have gone but equally might just be dodgy wiring fault. I've emailed the seller already. Was considering as a fixer upper for resale but might suit you ? He was after 100 and claims the 8ah battery is...
