    Another mid drive

    It's France vs Germany. Same with cars. The French have a very distinctive sense of aesthetics. Also, the Valeo kit looks about right to handle the massive 130NM torque. The Conti kit is smaller in size and torque (Conti kit has 70NM torque).

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's just posturing. We know we need a deal but there have to be two winners and no losers. The normal way to achieve that is to keep the negotiation out of the front page of the tabloids but brexit is not normal time, so they have to go to the wire to avoid scrutiny. The UK has already conceded...

    their website says it's from effigear 7-speed. Valeo is a huge company. Bosch should take notice.

    that I can agree with but we still belong to the top 7 countries in the world as far as the economy is concerned. So a few external signs of presence like aircraft carriers without aircraft may be just the right solutions. Once upon a time, when I was a student, I bought an old Mercedes trying...

    yes, but it's not as good for trails as a full sized bike.

    Updated fast-folding ebike gets a cleaner look, sheds some weight

    I made a 3D printed adapter for my Bosch battery. The main issue with making it for sale is sourcing the contact blades. The company that makes the blades would like me to order 10,000+ of them. I only need 2 contact pins per adapter and they don't want to make a small quantity. I made mine by...

    I wonder where he bought his test strip. Ebay maybe? Do you know that less than 5% of the CV tests return positive? There are some false positives but they are rare.

    BTW, do you know that the Covid variant that Matt Hancock mentioned a couple of days ago, N501Y, has the same double deletion at position 69/70 (also referred to as Cluster 5) as the variant that was on the farmed minks in Denmark back in June?

    A legal question or two....

    your generator is fine, it's the battery that needs to be specially selected. That's why I asked if you have already committed your budget. Now you have bought your battery, there is little more you can do. Most Lithium ion chemistry only allow charging at 2A. If you want fast charging, you also...

    Brompton Cute Q70 question

    The Q70 can run at 328 RPM at most. Brompton tyres: ETRTO 35-349 circumference: 1.315m maximum speed: 328 * 1.315 * 60 m/s = 25.9kph I don't support derestriction. You'd void your warranty.

    A legal question or two....

    Assuming you plug your charger into the 220V socket of the inverter generator, your standard charger charges at 2A and uses 85W on average. That's a very low output for your generator. Let's assume you need 720WH on average per day. Using a normal charger, that would take 10 hours. Petrol cost...

    A legal question or two....

    small 4-stroke petrol inverter generators can give about 600W-1kW output. If you have not committed your budget, you should look again at a battery system can can be recharged at that rate ie 600W-1kW. With such system, you only need to run the generator for about 30 minutes to charge the...

    Covid19 follows a similar pattern compared to the 1918 flu: in the spring and summer of 1918, the disease mutated and seemed to become less virulent but spread much more quickly than in the autumn 1917. The virus mutated again over the winter of 1918 but this time, to a much more virulent form...

    No Deal

    BTW, all anti dumping levies (about 100 against 25 different countries) that we inherit from the EU's single market are against WTO rules. So I expect we'll lift them soon. The DIT may want to keep some or change the level of levies. QUOTE: Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and...

    I wish that BJ's manner of explaining the difficulty in negotiating with the EU a bit less tribal. That would have defused the present morose atmosphere and make compromise more amenable. The lockstep is vice versa. If the EU's standard drops below UK's in the future, we will have equal right to...
