Personally, I'd avoid putting a hub motor on carbon forks, I just don't trust them in that application.

Quite possibly - I recall the cost of recelling a power tool battery from a decent refurbisher with a reputation to uphold. Now of course, there's a flood of Chinese made power tool batteries that make recelling nearly not worthwhile.

Indeed, you can get what is colloquially known as a 'daylight MoT'. It has no official existence, but simply notes the lack of lights, which are not compulsory. If fitted, they must work, of course.

Very interesting, thanks.

You always find the odd twat. It's life.

I used to cycle canal towpaths for easy flat exercise, but the timing is critical. Get it wrong and your path is strewn with rods and fisherblokes, necessitating a lot of dismounting or swearing from them. To be fair to them, most see you coming and move their gear but there's always the odd one...

The van driver's been charged with careless driving, as far as I know.

Or poly-chlorinated biphenols, beloved of transformer oil manufacturers a few years ago. Nasty stuff indeed.

That'll do nicely :) I bought a lifetime's supply of good old leaded solder a year ago, just to make sure I don't have to resort to the dreadful lead-free stuff.

Godwin's Law.

{Gear ratios} No, still the same terminology. A gear ratio is nothing more than expressing the number of times a turn of the smaller gear would 'go into' the larger gear. What's misleading is that people speak of 'higher' and 'lower' gears, but that's just a numerical habit instilled over the...

Same from here to everybody.

I'm definitely buying one now - my lilo keeps tipping me off.

Now that's handy, and very cheap to do. Thanks.
