    Shimano Steps running smaller tires

    ... The speedometer is set for the diameter of the wheel and since the diameter of your wheel remained at 26 inches no change is necessary. The 2.00 and 1.5 refer to the width of the tyre and while this affects roadholding and friction, it doesn't affect a speedometer. The speed of the bike is...

    My E-bike experience

    .. That is a sorry tail of shoddy workmanship and product quality and seems to be compounded by inadequate shop servicing.. You deserve better from an 1800 pound ebike. If as I assume you were riding the bike on normal roads then wheel failure , particularly in the first few months if ownership...

Or as bright as the top 6% from India or 2% from Brazil etc. . But they then enter into a culture...

    ... No no no .. the EU will not be a Victor. There aren't any Winners here just degrees of losing. I would like to associate myself with that Spanish mep as posted earlier. Every single one of his sentiments I agree with.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ... Well if they really identify the people who really want the UK people to suffer. That would be a public service. As Donald Thusk has said leaving the EU is punishment enough so it cannot be anyone external to the UK

    About time Dual 1000 watt bosch batteries to be retro fit

    . Yes but that is potentially a bad way to do it. If a number of cells are put in parallel, they will share charge and eventually reach an equilibrium voltage. If one of the cells is initially lower in voltage and all the rest are at full voltage , the current which will flow into that cell will...

    About time Dual 1000 watt bosch batteries to be retro fit

    There are any number of protection schemes which would prevent that from inserting a low forward voltage drop diode in both output power leads or using an old fashioned relay. Nobody should be carrying weight on their back in a rucksack, in any event panniers were invented for that...

    ... It is a very difficult problem, particularly now that both USA and Russia are involved. Revulsion is a fair response to the atrocious attack, but emotional responses are not statecraft.For once I can agree with his disgust. Just because you think that things could not get worse they can and...

    About time Dual 1000 watt bosch batteries to be retro fit

    Well in that case, it would cost a little more. A 20amp contact relay and a timer easy to fit into the cable loom.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would accept that the high representatives from each country who become commissioners , while nominally selected by their governments are likely to be pro Europe, and maybe even pro federal, but remember these are temporary appointments and they go back in time to national politics, so...

    About time Dual 1000 watt bosch batteries to be retro fit

    Yes. It also should not cost that much, just being a bracket and a few cables, .. but on that, I would expect to be disappointed.
