I'd definitely be interested in details and though it might not be immediate some of my friends want e-bikes for delivering locally produced food, and what we will definitely need are more folk skilled in wheelbuilding for these... which coast are you on? nearer my way (Frinton/Walton on the...

Apparently the xylene in "old" hammerite has been replaced by acetone or similar "less nasty" solvent and I've seen a fair few net sources claiming the new stuff is better off applied with a spray. I'm not sure if you can get "old formula" metal paint from other sources though. It would be an...

I'm still fairly young, most of my friends are only in their 20s and 30s and TBH I feel there is a misconception about actual attitudes of youth. the vast majority of my generation who want mopeds, motorbikes, cars or any other sort of faster vehicle know exactly where to get them from, the...

there used to by types like that at one of my old employers in SE England and TBH they actually put me off cycling (even though in hindsight it would have made more sense than trusting the buses). They treated each day as a competitive race, and were equally arrogant and competitive at work.

Even for mains I've only seen these connectors become more popular since the late 1980s and the rise of the PC (as in models based on the original IBM PC), as well as various kinds of AV and music equipment designed in the USA and Japan, Prior to that mains connectors on UK kit were usually...

Perhaps done deliberately for comedy value but behind the kids the old enamel sign reads "VERBODEN FIETSEN TE PLAATSEN" (it is forbidden to leave bikes here) :D that is impressive on many levels, especially as I was sceptical about this new concept of using DSLR's to make moving pictures as...

I'm not yet 40 but remember Janet Brown and her Thatcho impersonations (as well as the real thing). Also the local ILR station where I lived in Reading was Radio 210 so at night time Luxy used to bleed across into it on some receivers I owned. In my era though it was Laser 558, and also the...

yes, there's still risks of unauthorised use of access control passcards, inattention from the security staff, not enough eyes to watch monitors or even blatant collusion between thieves and security staff... however this sounds like a large-ish enterprise which would have more risks and is...

I'm left handed but have always got on from the left hand (conventional) side and never had any difficulty in this (or even given it any thought until now!)

I had a look at this bike and can't see the advertised models having any sort of display, though Mike may well have a newer model which does have one. however because of their use for a speed display, the magnets are very common things to find on bicycles (even push bikes) so its not a...

I am a mod on another VB based forum which has gone to VB4 and we had exactly the same requests. And our user base there is mostly young people with reasonable eyesight. I am lucky as my (corrected) eyesight and colour vision is good (essential as I work in IT & telecoms) but anyone of any age...

if its the same shifter as the 905, is it not possible to move its position nearer to the handlebar (or is it already as near as it will go?)

My extended family are from Malaysia, where they have come very close to banning all e-bikes outright due to paranoia over the high powered Chinese kits making their way over there. they haven't banned them but there is a Government study being carried out at the very moment, which will almost...

I think it will be a few years before the cops find e-bikes to be a problem, but it will eventually happen. At the moment, the youngest riders of e-bikes are in their late 20s or 30s, they have made a concious decision to use an e-bike rather than a motor car or motor bike (often due to cost...

what tests / licenses do you need in Belgium?

i guess that puts the kibosh on their sales slogan.. The new era has come, the new battery has arrived !Not explode, not burning, safe!

if they aren't just middle aged scallies, maybe try and discreetly find out why they are in the area? if all 3 of them are in drink on a Saturday afternoon I doubt they drive the 20 miles as the cops surely would have busted them by now, and unless they make a habit of randomly popping into...

having looked at some maps and local info (which I had to do anyway as being a Southerner I had no idea where Buxton was), it might be possible the trio spend their weekends going up and down on the train - and perhaps doing a bit of trainspotting along with their drinking, and at least one of...

I am very strong minded about supporting customer service, but in this case I wouldn't at all say you behaved badly. From the description you gave they didn't sound like customers at all, but three drunken men who were trying to waste your time and disrupt your business to boost their egos...

Although RNW claims to be independent its part public sector funded (like the World service here) and its remit is to create positive spin and trade opportunities for the host nation. It also has a slight liberal/progressive bias - and thus gives a lot of space to the opinions of "yoof". No bad...
