agreed. the torque sensor is not so great on steep hills unless your bike has a full throttle, as the motor's output increases with your input, you have to pedal harder to get more out of the motor. Cadence sensor lets you choose how hard you pedal, so it's an advantage if you have an impaired...

The Woosh Rambletta would be perfect for your height. As you are 5ft5-5ft6 tall, both the Rambletta with suspension fork and Rambletta with fixed fork will suit. The Rambletta with suspension fork has the handlebars about 7cm higher than the Rambletta with fixed fork. Your riding position on the...

I don't know for sure but the article talks about a cheap upgrade of a previous weapon. The first bit is it's fitted to a plane and has a good autonomous GPS guidance system, then a second charge exploding below the waterline after impact, like a traditional torpedo but released at much higher...

did you see the demo video of the new US 'QuickSink'?

It seems to me that the 'natural feel' is more of the product of current control as opposed to speed control when the sensor is a simple cadence sensor. With current control, the amount of extra push you get from the electronics is steady, based on your selection of the assist level. This...

I take it that you mean a choice of gear ratios/speed because lots of hub motors have already got a built in reduction gear box but only one fixed reduction ratio (e.g. 5:1). Xiongda makes several, but only two speed though: NEW Double-speed Motor, NEW Double-speed Motor direct from Suzhou...

I disagree. Cuba is only next door, communist and lives in peace. If WW3 happens with China, the probable cause is unemployment in the USA caused by cheap Chinese goods.

it wasn't that long ago that the West were even looking into Russia joining the EU and NATO. What/where would the world be if Putin did not happen and Russia did just that?

we fit now a new DH sensor that is clever enough to sense which way the magnet disc it is facing. You can flip the disc, it works that out by itself.

They believe it, not our fault but the fault of their parents. Nobody tells them off when they were kids.

I watched 'Anatomy of a Scandal' on Netflix last night. The main character is James Whitehouse, Oxford educated, member of the Blue Boats Crew and the Libertines club (modelled on the Bullingdon). It's pretty much sterotypical of those surrounding BJ and BJ himself. His main trait of character...

what job can he do well? Best leave them to someone more competent.

he may not want to know about it but his aides will have told him.

it was rumoured that the old rank and file are busy talking up Jeremy Hunt. I am pretty sure he'll be ready after the May local election. I probably heard it on Newsnight last night but can't remember.

The conservatives are stuck with BJ until they can find a better PM and in the meantime, BJ continues to endure weekly humiliation at PMQ and Labour chalk up a few by-election wins. Still, it amazes me that the conservatives can't find a better PM than Johnson.

in a way, the Rwanda contract will help Kier Starmer as it is essentially a clear blue water. The plan is a waste of money and illegal in the first place as it denies refugees their right to legal recourse and assistance. The only justification for it is no other party has a solution to stop the...

The West is starting an arm race that Russia can't win. Step by step, Putin will become stuck into committing more troops and resources until the balance of power is totally one sided. Russia is only supported by a few dictators and they don't usually last very long.

you can bypass the sensors if you don't have a full throttle The hydraulic brakes are strong enough to stop the motor. check first that your pedal sensor works properly and does not accidentally start the motor when spinning in reverse.

cable actuated disc brakes have only one piston on the caliper while hydraulic brakes have two. With one piston pressing against the rotor, the rotor bends when you brake. With two pistons, the rotor stays undeformed. the simplest way to improve the performance of single piston is to use a...

I wonder if the Ukrainians get satellite imagery from the US to lock onto the targets.
