    what kind of connector you have at the pedal sensor? if it's Julet type, swap out with another pedal sensor.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I fear that the debt mountain of £2 trillions is what keep the socialists away from power. Successive conservative governments have borrowed and borrowed to cut taxes. A socialist government would have to a) convince a lot of voters to pay a lot more taxes b) to balance the budget and keep...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree with most your points but not the character assassination of genuine socialists though. Can they form a viable government? They will need to borrow large amounts for a very long time to make ends meet. Would they inspire confidence of the creditors or will they just print paper money?

    Relatively fit cyclist wanting to use car less for a 10-15km commute

    for that distance, I would recommend the Woosh Faro. You can easily upgrade its components - something I would have done if there were enough volume; carbon fork, better transmission, better handlebars, saddle and pedals. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro

    Piggy-backing PAS signal to send Cadence data to Bike computer

    the signal stops when you are not pedalling. It may be useful for a heart rate monitor but useless for a speedometer.

    Piggy-backing PAS signal to send Cadence data to Bike computer

    if you mean sending PAS signal to a speedometer? no, that won't work when you are freewheeling.

    Thoughts on 'friction' drive?

    the main issue of popular conversion kits is the battery. It has to be good enough to give you about 250W of assistance for your maximum regular rides. That depends of course on the type of rider you are, and can be 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours. If you use a small drill battery, 36V 3AH, it is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can understand her ambition but she and the brexiteers are not realistic. Even before any rosy future can be gleaned at, the task to get Britain out of the present difficulties are immense. I watched Greg Wallis (inside the factory - XL, BBC2 yesterday) getting excited about the new red London...

    rear axle dropout on the Rambletta is 135mm. We'll do a rear hub kit for the 20" bike at some stage, for now, the priority is settling down on 21700 cells and crank drives. Container cost is still very high.

    You can lace the DWG22C to a 20" rim but the motor I have does not have the correct winding, you need 280 rpm. The current version has 210rpm winding. The best solution for a 20" rear wheel kit is the motor I got for the Rambletta (DWG07C cassette, optimised for 15mph, max 18mph) but the...

    all our motors are optimised for 15mph. Both 48V geared hub motors, DWG22C and SWX02 give about the same performance (60NM) and efficiency. The main difference is the DWG22C has freehub fitting for cassettes while the SWX02 has thread for freewheels. The DWG22C needs 180mm or 203mm brake rotors...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    should Sunak wins, we would still be hit by recession, high interest rate, high tax until end of 2024 according to the BoE forecast. We could head for a hung parliament.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Tide may be turning for sunak. Liam Fox was on TV telling tory members that we are paying 85 billion in interest payment this year, twice the defense budget. Is it wise to borrow much more? At the same time, Truss said on TV that inflation is set to drop later this year. She should change her...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sunak was referring to the Treasury Green Book, sort of bible that sets out the rules how money should be divved up to the towns and regions. The Green Book was issued in 2013 so he is technically correct in saying the rules were made by Labour or Gordon Brown.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched the Truss/Sunak show on sky last night. The audience was given a voting device, press 1 for Sunak, 2 for Truss. Sky told the audience that the computer crashed so no electronic result. The audience was then asked to vote by a show of hand. I reckon about 15% of the audience voted for...

    yes, you are right there. The kit wheels and BBS01 kits are sitting in China waiting for to the wheels for the bikes to go in the same container. The schedule for the bikes slipped. They will leave China next week or the following week. Very sorry.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    decisions that are good to everyone are rarer than hen's teeth. People have to choose between lower taxes and bad public services or better public services and higher taxes. This country's natural instinct is a selfish one whereas in most of Europe, it's more socialist.

    most important for tory membership is less taxes. On this, Truss is on message. If I were to advise Sunak, only a pledge of increasing inheritance tax threshold to 1M in tonight Sky Leaders Debate would improve his chances. I saw Truss decidedly more careful with words in yesterday's husting...

    Lithium battery recycling

    There are already laws obliging all manufacturers to recycle their products but not to reveal how they do it. There ought to be for transparency. BTW I think it is probably unnecessary to use liquid nitrogen and cause more pollution when you can crush and shred much bigger items such as whole cars.
