    A task to build a new bike mid drive & hub gears for under £700

    Love the design, love that colour! Years ago, my girlfriend had a Renault Clio painted like that. Shame that the propstand has to go, the TSDZ2 won't work with that. Also, the two M5 bolts may foul against the underside of the frame.

    more than that though. This problem is not going away. At the root of it is JC's support for the Palestinian side in the Palestine/Israel conflict which many of his predecessors did not hold.

    Halfords 48 hour test ride

    that's the effect of having a torque sensor. You have to contribute between 25%-50% of the work, the bike supplies the rest. Much harder climbing a hill and riding on flat roads. Cadence sensor lets you pedal as much or as little as you choose, even on hills.

    Which e bike ?

    not only that, it's not lighter than a full sized bike with similar level of ride comfort. I sell a lot of bikes every summer to camping car owners, most of them have racks at the back. The magic weight is about 16kgs - 13kgs if you remove the battery first. most of us can pick up a 13kgs-16kg...

    Cyclescheme purchase

    No, but all dealers will let you top up with your own money. FYI, Cyclescheme takes 15% commission, the standard £1000 voucher is worth £850.

    Hi from near Spurn Point Yorkshire

    thank you for considering the Petite. I can supply the Petite with 2.1" wide tyres for addional £20.

    Which one would you go for?

    the decathlon has larger battery (418WH against Halfords 374WH), suspension fork against Halfords rigid fork. These two differences alone would justify £100 difference.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you eat more than you need, you increase cancer risks. Sugary, fatty foods are just two routes to your early demise. ageing is less with advances in living standard but obesity is the prominent factor.

    Conversion

    Tim, I would recommend a Bafang BBS01B with 13AH small frog battery. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/product/uid-164-bbs01-13ah/bbs01b-cd-kit-with-13ah-36v-hl-battery (you can change the HL battery for a small frog for the same price http://wooshbikes.co.uk/2019/battery/smallfrog.jpg)...

    Which e bike ?

    how much does it weigh your Nano Brompton? my guess, about the same as an e-Brompton which weighs about 16.6-17k with its battery. https://www.brompton.com/brompton-gbr/uk-store/bikes/e-bike-m2l-white-2-speed/c-24/c-77/p-7587

    she might be implicated in the leak. Perhaps some brexiteers thought that it was national interest to show the world how our civil servants disliked Trump. Was it BJ who suggested that it was a minister who leaked the memo?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Did you watch Newsnight last night? Richard Tice (BXP) said that the leaked emails were not marked 'top secret' so it's a public document.

    Which e bike ?

    electric folders are deceptively heavy! The frame and stem are heavier because of the folding mechanism, all the other components weigh about the same compared to normal bikes. The average 20" folding bike with suspension weighs about 21kgs, 18kgs without. Also, you can't fit a suspension seat...

    Spokes

    if you tighten your spokes or true your wheel for the first time, you would want to know how tight you want your spokes to be. I have a spoke tensiometer, so it's not difficult to check, but if you don't, first make sure that all the 36 spokes are tightened at least until there is no slack and...

    yes is the short answer. it's Hunt's department, so he should have a hand in it too.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    John Major may be the only one conservative PM that made me believe that his party is not only for the rich. Since his stepping down, the country spent, spent, spent, the rich got richer and the quality of public services did not go up.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    he was the only PM who left more money in the country's kitty when he left than when he first came it. Not Margaret Thatcher, not Tony Blair, not Gordon Brown, not David Cameron, not TM and probably not BJ. He is the most conscientious of the lot.

    their job is to promote UK imports from the USA. They only do what they are paid to do.
