    Ezee conversion kit advice

    The gross at that voltage with a 20 Amp controller is 960 watts peak consumption, so at around 70% efficiency say, perhaps some 670 watts maximum. That's not right through the rev range of course, the maximum delivered will be in the 50 to 60% operating speed zone, which will also be your...

    Ezee conversion kit advice

    On the power potential, they are strong hubs so I'd guess at around 1000 watts actual. That should be no problem electrically but of course that will create higher gear wear and perhaps need for more regular opening up to regrease them. .

    Ezee conversion kit advice

    The Ezee controller on kit and bikes is 20 Amps. Over a decade ago they could deliver about 28 amps but not since about 2008. Your trouble sounds like the internal gears may be running dry of grease or worn. The new Ezee importer should be able to supply the spares: Greentech eBikes...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've long criticised Theme Park Britain and it's obsession with history that limits it's capacity to catch up with the rest of the modern world. But now we're getting something backward enough to fit Brexit Britain perfectly, a Vintage Trains company that will be running scheduled steam...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Theresa May has for the first time admitted that a second referendum is possible if her deal is turned down. Meanwhile Labour have moved closer to that position too, so we may yet get a chance to vote again. The sooner the better. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really do wear blinkers, either you haven't read my posts or don't understand what's written. It's not about money, only about practicality as it affects certain smallest businesses. Nor is it about the maternity law that I'm well aware of. It's about who one employs and the law supports...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why the gross exaggerations? No, some very small firms cannot cope, the government has set 4 employees as the level, but it can vary slightly. Some with two can cope, some with several might not be able to due to different specialisations. The great majority of companies have no problem. I'm...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It;s all very well you being PC about this, but you have no answers to the mess that governments create, like this: An employer must not discriminate against a skilled woman on the grounds that she might have a child, so they employ her in that single staff role. She has a child and must be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not speaking of heavy weights permitted under legislation as a normal part of a job. I'm speaking of much more, permitted by exception. You've acknowleded above that females are generally less strong than men and I'm only agreeing that some jobs are unsuitable for most of them No it...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree about hypocrisy but am totally oppose to targetting by gender since it's just a different form of discrimination. The potentially successful can always be successful without this. Totally agree. This can be valid though and has been recognised by government within laws. I'm...

    HELP BRAKES KALKOFF PRO CONNECT

    Kalkhoffs that I've known have used unbranded generic V brakes, so there's no specific handbook. Instead use a You Tube video, this one explains how V brakes work and how to adjust them. It's very likely your local bike shop will have pads to suit. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, so why do they put up with it? Exactly 50 years ago in 1968 the Ford women machinists went of strike at Dagenham and Halewood, protesting at Ford refusing to grade them as Skilled. Of course they were skilled, they stuck to their guns and won the equal treatment which meant equal pay...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not wrong because I agree, the discrimination is there. What I've said is that they can still succeed if they have the ability and the will, and your daughter proves it. That's the way to get rid of discrimination, proving the discriminators wrong, not making rules artificially favouring...

    She had the will and the oppportunity, so she took it, proving my point that women can succeed if they are good enough, or the relative converse of the competition bad enough. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Which is very wrong, they shouldn't have done. We saw what happened when Labour set all women shortlists and we ended up with a number of incompetents. The only qualification for management is being good enough, not gender. When women are good enough they succeed to the top and there are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not ancient views, just those formed by relatively recent experiences. I'm not disputing female capabilities and potential, and I fully agree that they have had a raw deal for centuries. The fact that continues is largely their own fault now though, considering the breadth of power they now...

    The following women leaders of major countries started or waged unnecessary wars as well, so that's an empty argument: Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, Eva Peron, Golda Meir, Soon Ching-ling, Aung San Suu Kyi, Khaleda Zia, Chandrika Kumaratunga and probably more I don't...
