    the shape of the downtube is OK. There is plenty of space to fit a downtube battery. you can fit the TSDZ2 but you have to do a bit more DIY than usual. 1. remove the cable guide 2. remove the front derailleur and front gear shifter 3. reroute the rear brake hose 4. make a replacement anti...

    Bike Light Battery usage

    I agree with most points except this one. There are lots of quality hub motors weighing in the region of 2kgs-3kgs like crank motors. for example: Aikema 85SX 1.6kgs front, 1.8kgs rear, MXUS XF08C rear 2.8kgs etc. For comparison, Bosch Bosch Performance Line CX GEN 4 weighs 2.9kgs. Hub motors...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    how would you like our government respond to energy companies driving up inflation? France deals with it by nationalising EDF earlier this week. This task is easy because the state owns already 87%. EDF caps electricity price. Would you like the UK nationalising electricity and gas distribution...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    EU membership saves a great deal of fees for small export orders taken on my website. Since 1/1/2021, if I want to sell to the EU, I have to use amazon or ebay. You avoid border costs that way but have to pay paypal fees and amazon/ebay fees, about 15% in total on average. That's why I stopped...

    I am very surprised by this comment. Sure, air forks are nicer to have but coil spring forks like the popular Suntour E25 that are fitted to millions and millions of e-bikes all over Europe every year are nothing but extremely reliable. When did you hear that one of them failed before the bike...

    hydraulic brakes are better. You have two pistons on the caliper, mechanical disc brakes only one. Hydraulic brakes are auto-adjusting, that means that pads' wear is automatically compensated, you never need your 5mm allen key to adjust the gap. Hydraulic hoses don't compress like the...

    What is the radius (or diameter) of the 44t Tongsheng TSDZ2 chainring and how far out does it extend from the edge of the bottom bracket?

    I usually check the current largest chainring on the bike. If it's 38T or more, then the TSDZ2 will fit. You still have to move any cables running below the bottom bracket.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched Newsnight interviewing Prof Patrick Minford last night. How on earth is he still teaching applied economics at Cardiff university. There are of course few options in economics that have only advantages and no disadvantages but it's very hard trying to follow his arguments. He said we...

    if you are heavy, you should get hydraulic brakes. They have greater stopping power, the pads are auto-adjusting and more durable. Wide tyres and good suspension fork are also a good choice.

    Short distance folding ebike to put in the boot of my EV

    almost all folding bikes selling for £1,000 have tiny battery capacity for 30 miles. You'll need at a very least 36V 10AH.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Truss on BBC with Nick Robinson: she seems to contradict herself and under pressure, she just shouted her replies at Robinson. Truss extolls Patrick Minford's economics. She said Treasury [and Sunak by implication] follows economic orthodoxy and yet, she said that nobody follows the same...

    Lithium battery recycling

    The council tip in my town (Southend-on-Sea) take old batteries for recycling. Batteries are considered as hazardous materials (group DG9) but battery cells don't contain hazardous substances (ROHS). If they burn, the plastic, electrolyte and electronics will produce toxic smoke.
