it looks like a new bottom bracket is the best course of action: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NECO-CASSETTE-BOTTOM-BRACKET-SEALED-BEARINGS-110-113-5-115-118-122-5-127/261268256963 Choose spindle length 122mm if the existing bottom bracket has 68mm body shell, 127mm for 73mm body shell.

I think the NHS are doing 5,000 tests per day at the moment. End of 12-March:29,764 tests, end of 14-March: 40,279 tests, 1,372 positives. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public#number-of-cases

not many. Maybe 20,000 tests would be enough. I find that the number of deaths per day is the most solid data to compare our status with Italy's. To protect our staff (and stop my wife to isolate herself from me), from Monday, we will close our shop to callers and organise a new rota so that we...

if that happens, we don't make it to the statistics but I suspect that the NHS does some random testing. In any case, we had 14 deaths yesterday, Italy reached that level on 03-March, 12 days ago. So we are 12 days behind Italy, 5 days behind Spain and only 2 days behind France. If you want...

wheels are machine built the world over, I don't think there is much difference there. The fork is the same Suntour NEX, used on a lot of e-bikes. The cheap Motus has 7-speed Altus derailleur, not a high end one. Both have hydraulic brakes. The Motus comes with a 300WH battery, the Woosh Camino...

I have an electric tyre inflator in my workshop... perhaps I should diversify immediately, https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/123689579137

we have two batteries: the small frog that can be mounted to the front luggage rack block and the HL battery that can be mounted to the curved beam. Controller: Lishui 15A LCD KD58C The motor is the Q70 mounted to a Brompton compatible rim. The price with 13AH small frog or HL battery is £529...

I would have recommended the Woosh Rambla but they are out of stock now, next delivery is in May. You can convert your bike with the Bafang BBS01B kit or the Tongsheng TSDZ2 kit but the centre of gravity of the converted bike is invariably in front of the bottom bracket. The gyro effect cause by...

Brompton kit: they were due after Christmas but got delayed - finally left China last week and are at sea now. Expected arrival in a month.

no shortage of medical respirators in China, about $5,000 apiece. They are not particularly heavy to fly in. I expect peak demand in the first week in May. We can still get them in in time. At least Matt Hancock seems a bit more contrite this morning on Marr's show.

the risk of infection is low until April. First sign of panic buying: my local Sainsbury's has been stripped bare yesterday.

she means to isolate herself from risk taking me until June, when the crisis is supposed to be over!

Paris deserted today. Free unsold food on offer: my daughter decided to leave Paris and come back to London tomorrow. Last day before France goes into complete lock down.

even if budget is not a factor, it's not easy to find a normal folding bike in the range of 10kgs-12kgs. The frame folding hinge adds so much more weight to the frame that a folding bike weighs usually more than a non folding one. vfr400 had a Dahon Vitesse D7 (without the HG) which he converted...

government advice, soon to be announced, is that anyone over 70 years old should isolate themselves! I need to keep active through working to keep my diabetes under control.

I think I agree with your wife on this. We all take precautions but can't put our life on hold for 4 months or more just for the sake of reducing the rate of community transmission. My wife asked me to close the shop to all callers and stop visiting my customers (I still work in computing) or...

it's difficult to electrify the Dahon Ciao. You need a suitable motor wheel, with 83mm fork dropout, in 20" rim, such as the Aikema 75SX. You will have to put up with either a handlebar bag like the Swytch kit or mount the HL downtube battery on top of the beam. The cables are also exposed and...

may be it's in the water.

the Rambletta is OK for up to 17st.

is it this one? Decathlon sells it for £799 which is a very good price. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/e-st500-electric-mountain-bike-grey-275-id_8510150.html
