    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am surprised that didn't happen sooner. maybe that's the signal for Trump's followers to start wearing masks from now on.

    New Woosh Rambletta Walk Around

    the Rambletta comes with a choice of fork. Rambletta with rigid fork, £30 cheaper: The suspension fork has 30mm travel. As you said, the suspension fork makes hitting potholes less jarring. Also, it makes riding on unmade tracks in parks and along river banks much more comfortable. On bikes...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the US sues the EU over subsidies for Airbus, the EU sues the US over subsidies for Boeing, don't read to much into that. The UK gives state aids to most industries too. Anyone can apply. The point to negotiate is to seek commitments from both side to state their subsidy rules for the future so...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    this is an old complaint. This goes to show that state aids is more a principle than anything concrete. All countries subsidise their aviation industries - zero VAT on fuel for example. Airbus financing deal was back in 2004. They were given cheap loans to develop new planes.

    TK-1 does not change the bicycle structure in any way which means globally majority of the bicycles can be converted without replacing a wheel

    that's a clever design. You still have to show how to make it into a pedelec. CD kits need two clutches.

    TK-1 does not change the bicycle structure in any way which means globally majority of the bicycles can be converted without replacing a wheel

    one simple thing that all bike manufacturers can do to make the conversion as easy as possible is a standardised front luggage block like the Brompton's.

    TK-1 does not change the bicycle structure in any way which means globally majority of the bicycles can be converted without replacing a wheel

    the woman who joined Simon Calder on the review is supposed to be a bike mechanic but does not seem to know more about e-bikes than Simon himself. They ride the bike on twist and go throttle and rave about it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's still unwise to link brexit to the vaccine. People are a bit fed up with brexit, they want want brexit over and done with. Whatever the deal BJ may come up with this week or next week, it won't bear any remote semblance to anything previously promised.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it seems to me that the competition to bring out the vaccines is at least curious. There are about 400 vaccines in the running, a dozen have already reached the goalpost, many more to follow. The Moderna vaccine was prepared just 2 days after the Chinese authorities published the virus's genome...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No corners have been cut, Moderna took two days to design their vaccine. https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-11-30-20-intl/h_e33ae1918c88b1167f7f858cd728ae10 Then sell it for $35 a pop (30 micrograms).

    Torque sensors and where to buy ?

    I have had KT controllers and they are less satisfactory compared to the slightly more expensive Lishui controllers. Also, I would make life hell for Andy if customers can change the values of the internal registers then tell him that their motor is sick. Just look at how many times people ask...

    Torque sensors and where to buy ?

    torque control may be not useful on steep hills but would you agree that using your feet to control the power on flat roads and small gradients (where you use less than 250W power) feels more natural than selecting the assist level alone?

    Torque sensors and where to buy ?

    that may be possible because the TS hub kit uses a standard 5 bolt ring but I have never tried it. I will check the BCD and the diameter of the controller box behind the ring tomorrow and let you know. Best regards Tony

    New Tongsheng mid drive kit won't power up

    have you got a volt meter? if you have, check first the output voltage of the battery. Next, take some close up pictures of the LCD pins. If they are bent - your problem is there.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am pretty sure we'll have a deal and food prices may go up a little but not hugely. Talks are now about fishing quota, that means the UK have probably agreed to level playing field and 50% of the fish is ours in the first place, so the EU will have to retreat on this and accept a 3-year...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that is because social inequality and racial injustice are two root causes of poor health. These two issues lead to poorer job prospect and education which lead to lack of opportunities and general poverty. When you are poor, everything is a priority and health care is not the top issue.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    maybe because we don't like the way Trump fights dirty. Winning is important but the way you win is also important. The way Trump conducted himself since 2016 is a horrific car crash in slow motion.

    Get rid of those troublesome hubs!

    There is no lateral support to the rims, no load distribution. I would also like to see what will happen to the wheels if that guy hits a kerb or a pothole.
