I agree that converting the Gtech is straightforward with something like the TSDZ2. The alternative is also OK, but you'd need the 48V SWX02 to get a substantial improvement. If you want to consider that solution, I think the Gates rear cog can be transferred over to the new motor wheel but...

You don't have to take it apart. It's fitted with a Gates crankset, the bottom bracket has the torque sensor but for conversion, you just remove it, the fitting is standard 68mm x 35mm...

By the time the next A50 extension runs out (22-May, 30-June or December 2020)? I doubt any PM can get anything done.

don't worry, plenty of MPs will want that chauffeur driven Bentley.

yes, you can but it's a rather expensive conversion. You have to replace the battery. The Gtech 200WH battery is not ideal for a crank drive motor. Total cost is about £700 + a new rear wheel with hub gear, approaching £900-£1000. Convert something like this £365 Fairfax SG2 IG 8-speed hub gear...

I think we are heading for a deal + confirmatory vote. It's only the questions on the ballot paper to be sorted out when the time comes. If Common Market 2.0 + WTO/Canada + remain are put on the paper, then there should be widespread consensus because all three solutions have a chance. Plus...

@ jaundice: how many miles do you get out of your 200WH battery?

whoever is the next PM, I expect the same choices remain: how long he/she will ask for an extension or revoke A50 on the 11th April.

we keep all parts used on our bikes, electric and mechanical. Most local bike shops carry only mechanical parts and don't have the skills to fix electrical faults. I you come to my shop, you can expect a diagnosis in under 5 minutes and the fault fixed while you go to the High Street for a...

it's the logical step. Think of Britain as the ageing David Beckham having a mid life crisis.

Hi Ross, when people do a conversion, they have issues like postioning the disc rotor, correct the chainline etc, people will have to re-arrange the washers for an optimal fit. The anti-rotation washers are 3mm thick and the normal washer 1mm but it's not always possible to move them outside so...

we are not leaving the EU yet. we have up to 11-April to decide how long to ask for a new extension. Meanwhile, the revoke A50 petition currently stands at 4,252,875 @ 13:07 At current progress, it'll hit 5 millions tomorrow. TM can't ignore it anymore.

define brexit. most people can't, because most of it is unprovable for decades to come. If we join customs union or single market, about 15% will say it's not brexit and the rest will wonder why we brexit in the first place because we would still pay money, adopt directives and ECJ's verdicts...

I think the general perception is the EP's job is to rubber-stamp anything the Commission puts to them. The EPP, the largest grouping of MEPs, is identified with Germany and whatever they say usually goes. There is no real opposition inside the EP.

these motors come with normal washers and anti-rotation washers. The anti-rotation washers are usually fitted inside the triangle. If you fit the anti-rotation washers on the outside of the triangle, you don't need spreading.

Our choice of the President of the European Council, the President of the Commission and the President of the ECB didn't get passed. If they were all Brits, maybe we'd want to stay.

that choice is ours to make, the EU has no hand in it. EU27 will ratify the WA treaty if we vote for it, nothing to do with the political declaration. The fight is entirely inside the conservative party and the DUP. Labour is pro Common Market 2.0. TM allows a vote on customs union, that means...

don't be so hasty. There is no free lunch in Lithium ion cells. You trade between density, maximum discharge and longevity. The 29E used to be the highest capacity 18650 cell from Samsung. That position has been replaced by the 35E for sometime. The fair comparison is between Samsung 35E...

the referendum is once in 50 years. I think we just take Common Market 2.0 (aka EFTA membership).

that's the size of the swing if there is another referendum. the leavers overdid it and started remainers' revolt. the conservatives lose grip on power.
