    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you look at this news article, which doesn't sound pro-trump, you can see that the crowd matches his photo. at 1:52. You three must be letting your derangement get the better of you.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I already told you, they stopped the count and sent all the observers away at 3 a.m., then started again at 4 a.m. I haven't heard a suitable explanation for that yet. One counting house said there was a burst pipe, but no water or burst pipe was found and it was supposedly fixed in a time...

    Best puncture resistant tyres?

    This is weird. I know loads of people with MPs. None of them have ever had a puncture with them. Also, can you explain how you fixed all those punctures if you had to saw the tyre off each time to get at them?

    Battery building for a conversion project

    I'd recommend that you buy your first battery, then if you feel you want to do a lot of messing about with bikes, you can consider making your own battery. It only makes sense to build one if you're going to build a few or if you want/need a special shape one.

    Don`t leave home without one of these .

    Surely, the best solution is to use Schwalbe marathon Plus tyres and not need to carry a pump at all, and not have to waste time pumping up your tyres in the middle of a ride. When I go on my road bike, I carry a Lezyne mini-pump, which is very light and works on every tyre. I've fixed more...

    New bike or conversion for ME?

    Hydraulic disk brakes don't cost much and they'e easy to fit, The difference it makes to your braking and maintenance is unbelievable. I would never have anything else on a bicycle.

    Battery building for a conversion project

    750-1000w is meaningless. It has no bearing on how much power your battery needs to supply. You need to know how much actual current your controller will allow, then you choose cells and BMS to be able to supply that amount of current reliably with a bit of headroom. It's hard to justify...

    Carrera crossfire/vulcan tuning

    I prefer the 8 or 10 magnet pedal sensors because they're the most compatible. 48/11 gives a cadence of just over 60 at 20 mph.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Are you saying that Trump's executive order of 15th sept 2018 is fake or do you think Trump doesn't exist or the electio didn't happen?

    New bike or conversion for ME?

    If you're already a cyclist, you don't need a 20Ah battery. 10Ah would probably get you 50 miles depending on your weight and how many hills you have. A rear motor is always better than a front. If you have free-hub gears, you need a cassette rear motor The thing that lets your bike down a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Remember Trump's executive order fron 12th Sept 2018 about foreign election interference. I asked a couple of days ago why he did that and whether it's relevant to this election. It stands to reason that it was done for a purpose. It puts USA in a state of emergency if foreign interference is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When you look to see who's connected to your PC, there are often all sorts of IPs that you don't know who they are. One thing is certain, and that's that they are either sending or receiving information. That's OK as long as you authorised them and the info being transferred is allowed by you...

    Best puncture resistant tyres?

    We don't get enough snow and ice to make them worthwhile unless you like changing your tyres between breakfast and setting off to work. They're great when you're in the snow, but it's normally all gone from the road within a day.

    Carrera crossfire/vulcan tuning

    I reckon you'll need 48T chainring. I always chuck those cheapo square taper cranks and replace them with the cheapest Hollowtech ones. There are loads of good cheap used ones on Ebay. If you get a double one off a road bike, you can either fit a front derailleur and shifter or just hook it over...

    Bafang throttle not cutting off

    Hang on, it was working OK in the old frame, and one morning when you went to use it, you found it in a new frame and it didn't work anymore, but nothing could have happened to it? Are you sure about that? Do you have a brother, housemate or similar?

    Woosh Camino Tyre Change

    Yes, you can use any width you want. It's very straight-forward. take a photo of the washers and spacers on the axle so you know how they go back. Make sure the cable goes downwards (towards the ground) when you put the wheel back in. when you reconnect the motor make sure that the connector...
