    A Question about Rats and Air Guns

    Rifles yes in France, handguns no. A .22 Webley Tempest within 2 metres range and with the right ammunition is plenty enough to kill someone with one shot.

    A Question about Rats and Air Guns

    I have a Webley Tempest .177 which will seriously hurt a rat at 10 metres. I wanted a .22 barrel for it but that would seriously hurt a human being at 10 metres and requires you to be a policemen or other handgun permit carrier... Back on the farm it was a 12 gauge for rats, possums, rabbits...

    Regenerative braking?

    Oh you naughty Italian person! :D When I am in the Spanish bit of Spain I always explain to passengers not to be surprised if my driving becomes slightly more aggressive. After many visits I found it was easier to drive like them to fit in the flow of traffic. The mother of my two youngest said...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just to cheer you all up, yesterday I signed the document for my first HLM (translated literally: habitat with moderate rent). The savings in rent mean I could buy a brand new pedelec every year! In real world terms it will mean I will actually be able to buy train or bus tickets to visit my...

    A FRESH START

    They are heavy but the quick charging and huge output more than compensate I feel. I am pretty sure I could almost get 10 Ah from the Graphene without going much below 3.6v per cell. As I have often said in other threads I will probably get a welder and build a 20700 cell battery. I am back to...

    A FRESH START

    GSM from woosh. My LiPo is 10 Ah, I had problems with a 4S Multistar brick but once I started paralleling with a 4S Graphene the low cell started balancing! With 20 Ah I am not putting any stress on the packs, sag was down to the 10ths of a volt

    Regenerative braking?

    It works in the mountains, it is a waste of time anywhere else. Stromer use a rear direct drive hub motor for a reason, they are Swiss...

    A FRESH START

    I am a tried and tested user! :) A 17 A 36/48v KT controller, KT 12 magnet PAS and a 44.4v 12S battery is probably mid drive happiness. What LiPo are you having problems balancing? Hobby King Graphene costs, Graphene rocks!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Italy and Spain need to solve their issues with corruption. There is no problem of available cash in either country it is just that the dark economy is too powerful. Italy and Spain have strong industrial bases but one has the Mafia and the other hasn't gotten rid of the Franco fans...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For the crisps I will fall back to Spanish ones cooked in olive oil it's the weetabix I'm worried about. In any case they will will go bankrupt when they can't export them to NZ after the court case... :D

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'l stocking up on crisps and Wheetabix while the lorries can still bring them! What are your lentils like? I know the Spanish and French ones. I thought that the beans in baked beans were grown in the UK? I did baked beans a while ago (from raw ingredients of course) certainly a bit tastier...

    Days numbered for over 250w pedelecs??

    I regularly use a shared path that is also used, illegally, by IC mopeds who are often at death inducing speeds. Like in the UK, not enough police and they have "more important" things to do... Before tackling electric mopeds (a pedelec does not have a throttle, you have to pedal): - ban all 2...

    Days numbered for over 250w pedelecs??

    Why? Because I was attracted by the headline of a "newspaper" article which I read then wrote of as non information? I analysed the content and rather than thinking "We are all doomed! End of the 250 W pedelec!", like some who shall remane nameless, I concluded that it was probably written by...

    Riese+Muller Delite 2018 Nuvinci Review

    I never get out of the seat except for coming of a footpath onto the road when I have to go a little faster than usual to force my way into traffic. Big Ben tyres inflated to the correct pressure and NCX seat post. Speed bump technique is to accelerate in to put the front suspension under...
