the ONS had the data, UK government did not want ONS to show the weekly death figures compared to the previous 5 years' average. ONS publish now these figures every Tuesday morning. We all suspected that the real figure is at least one third more than hospital figure because news reports from...

I sold the Sundowners for £699 and 7 years later, he wants £625 for it. I am gobsmacked.

of course he did. I thought I gave you constructive criticism but I accept you did not see it that way. Let me clarify. It's a 30 second job for NealH and vfr400 to whip out a crank because they have the right tool and the right skill. Someone else may just rip the thread of the aluminium crank...

of course I tried to sell you my kit but the reason I seem to dig holes in your DIY project is not for my benefit. Vfr400 and NealH have helped hundreds if not thousands of members sorting out their bikes over the years. However, your project is more difficult than most. It's importing your kit...

the Rambla is a second stab at this 'solid plodders' market. If it sells well this year, then I will fit a hub gear and a enclosed chain cover next year. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rambla

measure the same thing 1,000 times a second but actually come to the same conclusion. I don't dismiss the higher sophistication in design and the better stability in performance. The positioning of the motor has a big impact on how you like your bike, sensing technology is a separate issue. I...

you are not going to fail if you follow the advice of members on here. I often recommend customers who want to do special projects to join the forum and post their questions on here because the collective wisdom and knowledge is greater than any individual's. However, converting a Brompton is...

it's always useful to know how to true a wheel or replace a broken spoke but what you try to do is more than wheel truing, it's wheel building and that's a bit of a special trade. Have you converted a bike before?

No kits until end of July!

they still retail at $155 though. http://www.topbikekit.com/akm74sx-24v250w-36v250w-ebike-front-driving-hub-motor-fork-size-74mm-p-823.html

If you have to produce a wheel every hour, you'll soon do things a certain way and can't watch anything but where the threaded end of the spokes and the top of the nipples go. You can't use the spoke keys because they'll mark the nipples, you can't bent the spokes because they will scratch the...

To build a good wheel, you need to register the settings from the original Brompton wheel on your truing stand so that you reproduce them on your motor wheel. Plastic truing stands don't work. You'll need a truing stand made from steel to build wheels. By the time you've paid for the truing...

yes, it fits the Brompton OK but why do you want to lace a wheel and worry about removing a crank?

mid drive gives a very natural ride feel. Gear hub gives a more motorised feel, especially in when you accelerate, but once you gain in speed, the difference disappears.

don't worry about the 45k trailer, all the bikes above can pull it. 60NM.

I am thinking that in most situations, the weight of the battery over the front wheel is not a problem because it's low down, not perched on the handlebars and not interfering with the ride quality. What I don't want is having to remove the battery and carry it with me inside the shop. So the...

thanks for the link. I should have done more home work before trying to reinvent the wheel! I did make an adapter for my kit to use the Bosch 36V battery too. But I knocked that up over a weekend and it shows:

yes, very much so. Bikes are different, even if they look similar and have similar specifications. You should always test ride as many as you can.

the Big Bears can be delivered in the first week of August, at least for those who have placed orders, Santana3 middle/third week of August. Hatti looks after bikes, I take care mainly of kits.

yes, easily.
