    drill and tap the holes. there are 3 other methods you can use: 1. use araldite glue or two part epoxy glue to glue the disc to the ring 2. cabletie the disc to the spokes. Drill 3mm holes in the disc to feed the cableties through. 3. Use the horseshoe base that is supplied with the KM...

    Hub kits - Proper jobs?

    no, no, this is the place for constructive criticism. We all love a job well done so any thing that helps to achieve a better result must be worth adding. Here is a solution sent to me by Stuart. He's got Shimano XT hydraulic brakes. There is just no flat surface anywhere near the lever to glue...

    Simon did bring the weight forward as much as possible and it may still be possible to add the rear legs.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    nobody said you are a bad person, nobody twisted your words or tried to. although there have been bad words said many times against one another, this thread invites diversity and I think you can and should put your own views here, even though I am not interested in Tommy Robinson a tiny little bit.

    I thought that it would be useful to have a thread where good ideas of how to fit kit parts can be found in one place. To start you off, here is the handy work of Simon @ FMB: 1. How to fit a split magnet ring on a triple chainring: 2. Here is his converted bike: Thank you Simon for...

    it will be alright on the night. BJ may say this and that, but so far, he has not put the UK at risk of falling out with the EU.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I see nothing wrong with some councils flying a particular flag on brexit day. brexit day is just a legal date, UK citizens are still treated as EU citizens, joining the same queues at passport control. Much more important is the next New Year day, 1/1/2021. Hopefully, we'll have got a better...

    it this is true, then it's a good move from the Iranians.

    that is usually the case but I as the accident happened so close to Tehran, I think the probability of American drones shooting it down is near zero. Getting back to brexit, Ursula Von der Leyen is now looking to extend the implementation period. She used to be a student at the LSE: She may...

    Woosh - thumbs up?

    I guess Rob based his comments on his assessment back in 2014. Bikes are much better put together now than then. and we did not have as much control on the components as we have now. Still, people hold very firm views about which is better, crank drives versus hub drives, hub gears versus...

    Uh? Can you find a folding bike that beats the Zephyr or the new Rambletta? This is the Zephyr: The newer Rambletta: And the new Rambla arriving in 3 weeks: We aren't the showy type, the logo is very discreet, just on the head tube.

    our prices have gone up since the brexit referendum because of the exchange rate. In the aftermath of the vote, the Pound went from $1.40-$1.45 to just $1.25-$1.30. Then they went up again last year when the EU imposed anti-dumping levy, forcing us to assemble bikes in Southend on Sea. That...

    Hi Rob, The last Woosh bike you had ridden was the first Zephyr-B, some 6 years ago. The theme of the Zephyr B was then as is now, a foldable bike that rides like as comfortably as a full sized e-bike. I did take on most of the points you made to make that zephyr-B suitable for sale in the...

    sorry Mark, what was I thinking? I was watching the opening scene of tonight's Silent Witness while I was typing. Must concentrate next time. Your height is perfectly good for both the Faro and Camino but please do give us a call sometime. Delivery is more or less anytime you want. Both bikes...

    there is no way we can have JIT supply chain without the single market and customs union. It's the lack of certainty that your shipments won't get delayed for days waiting for inspection. For Bojo, brexit is just a stepping stone to the top job. Now he's got it, the initial attraction could...
