    Help! 40k flat commute @ 40k/hr, Direct Drive or Geared?

    40kph = 25mph. You only need 500W for that speed on a flat road. Any 48V CD kit will do that derestricted, I guess you know that already because you own a TSDZ2 and any 48V TSDZ2 can do that. but please move this thread to the s-peledecs section of the forum.

    Fat Bike Wheel

    it's like having 4 broken spokes in your wheel. If the nipples are rusted then you can carry on. If the nipples are in good condition, they will loosen leading to catastrophic failure.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    most parents are forced to take the termination because they can't get the support they would need bringing up a child with Downs. They need permanent care, you can't let them out of your sight, so one parent would carry on working while the other becomes 24x7 carer - or both will have to work...

    it's easy to look only at the numbers and forget the individuals when it's not your family.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think so. The mothers' decision are usually based on individuals' circumstances, IVF, age, religious and political beliefs, family, their husbands' beliefs and wealth. When you look at eugenics, it becomes political, some dictator (elected or not) decides instead. My nephew was lucky to...

    the decision to continue with the pregnancy rests with their mothers, not the state.

    you can't breed out trisomy 21. It's one of the consequences of natural mutations. I have a nephew with Downs. His Mum is a GP doctor.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    freedom of speech is routinely used as excuse for extremist behaviour and the law does not help protecting those who are attacked. A civilised society needs to protect first the weak before protecting those who attack them.

    I sometime wonder what's wrong with politicians, those in BJ's cabinet. They are usually so full of themselves, then appear to be totally subservient to the point of ridiculously aping a Chinese school in their first TV appearance, then behave like last century's bosses. She of course should...

    Help! Electric bike on cycle to work scheme

    you shouldn't worry about your weight, more a question of how fit you are. If you are not a good pedaler, then your choice is restricted to bikes with cadence sensor and a strong motor, such as the Woosh Big Bear LS. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbear-ls

    Raleigh Felix plus, and its brakes

    they are generic. Tektro (typically Tektro Draco) usually have postmount. Try to get something with similar shape and size to your Tektro, you won't have to hunt for longer bolts. If you are not sure, post the link to what you want to use in its place here.

    it costs him next to nothing to put on a hard hat, make the announcement, get some applause and pay some first bills even. The interest for the loan will be picked up by future generations.

    some conservative MPs use the term 'cross currents' in relation to fake news - that seems to mean 'put this in another way'. I don't like the current funding model of the BBC but it has to be protected from Cummings' spads/clones. In France, you have to pay if you receive terrestrial TVs but all...
