The braking forces are carried by the brake caliper, whether rim or disc, not the dropout.

No it's for his grass cutter.

You do of course realise that the bike you have bought apart from having butchered wiring ( how it could get into that state is beyond me) actually appears to be illegal to use as a bicycle in UK other than on private land.

Shower cap.

Another vote for another bike here. I would have thought he would be much happier with a torque sensor bike, certainly not one with a speed controller.

You used the wrong stuff, you need epoxy putty not glue (and plenty of it) to make a sausage that can fill both tubes completely for at least 15mm and something in the middle like a screw or tube to give additional support.

There is no need to change the derailleur on systems like this, there is no such thing as a 7 speed or 8 speed derailleur. The difference in how they work is all in the shifter, changingthe derailleur actually increases the chances of getting something wrong by routing the cable incorrectly...

Looks to me like the angle it is out is the equivalent of rotating the casing by one bolt hole on the first picture.

There is a lot more to it than that on every dropper I have owned / used. The height is infinitely adjustable between high and low rather than just 2 holes. Mine have always been hydraulic, sometimes the operation is by cable opening a valve or sometimes with hydraulic operation too. I always...

Control for the dropper seat post. Sit on the bike then operate the lever and the seat should go down, take your weight off the saddle and operate it again and it will go back up.

I think you might find that correctly specified and set up heatpumps are completely viable in UK. The problem is more that many installers (not helped by the poor requirements of surveys required for government grants) don't have a clue how to set systems up correctly. To set a system up...

Beg to differ here, heatpumps work fine in cold weather, lots of heatpumps in Scandinavia and here in the Alps where temperatures are often well below freezing. The biggest problem for heatpumps in UK is humidity leading to icing of the condenser, when it gets actually cold the air doesn't have...

How do you know it is identical to what was tested? Just because it looks the same at a glance doesn't make it the same.

That is how I would do it too. In answer to the OP's question on the reach modern MTBs tend to have longer reach and more relaxed geometry to help you get your weight forward for more front wheel grip. How you feel about that for longer rides I don't know, many on here prefer a more upright...

Large cables with not If aluminium was perfect for use in small sizes with potentially considerable flexing it would be used in all mains cables as it is much cheaper than copper. It is perfect for the pylons etc as you mentioned previously because it is much lighter but even then it is usually...

If th If that won't move then that will be why it snapped in the first place. A rear shock will only snap if the ends aren't able to move (rotate) while the suspension moves.

I'd be more concerned at the fatigue life of the cable rather than it's current carrying capacity. Aluminium is fine for fixed rigid cables, it is not really suitable for small diameter flexible cables.

If they are going to get serious they will do what they do over here. The police have access to a small portable dynamometer that is mainly used to identify tuned Mopeds but has been used to identify dongled ebikes too. I don't think it is actually calibrated for power but provides enough...

I very much doubt that many of those came from bikes with Bosch / Yamaha / Shimano etc systems which have higher level communications between the battery and charger / motor than a lot of the cheaper options.

Modern mountain bike geometry, riding position and riding style puts much more weight on the front wheel than "Old Skool", meaning you can use the front brake much more than you used to be able to. This enables you to slow down much better, even going downhill (bear in mind I live in the Alps so...
