the problem is the tyres. Some don't fit or don't fit properly, some do. If in doubt, choose American tyre size 28". If you have V-brakes, you may have to adjust your brake blocks because 29er rims tend to be wider than 700C rims. If you have disc brakes, then you only have to pay for a new 28"...

good luck with the auction.

yes. Any unprung weight greater than 4kgs at the rear wheel should really have a torque arm. It's not just for the torque, when your bike hits a pothole, the inertia can pull the wheel off the frame or round the dropout openings.

on a lighter note, suppose we have a second referendum and remain won. What would brexiters think of this? QUOTE: The morning after the referendum, we will immediately chuck out the pound and adopt the euro. Is this a good idea? Oh blah blah financial stuff blah. Boring! As the Brexiters told...

there is still the accumulative effect even if the nuclear wastes are low level.

May I suggest the Woosh XF07 front kit? http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#xf07kit

those rules do not concern the products, just the way to conduct trades. Consumer protection is left to member countries to decide. That is why WTO regime suits a large number of importers and exporters.

although I don't disagree with what Sir Meyer said: “Trying to get people to grasp that there is merit in the WTO Brexit option is like trying to persuade the 17th-century Inquisition that the earth rotates around the sun.” WTO is the free market with the emphasis on the word 'free', it will...

it does not matter much what is on the label, you need to check the characteristics of the motor. Those advertised as 500W or 1000W or even higher, 1500W, 2000W etc are usually direct drive motors, they do not have internal reduction gears. They are good at over 20mph but their heavy weight...

I see nothing wrong with discussing hypothetically. Geared hubs and CD kits have excellent power to weight ratio at under 28mph, beyond that, direct drive motors. Anything higher than 20mph will require considerable increase in torque: BBS01 and SWX02 code 12/13 can maintain 22mph easily, code...

it's nice and easy bike to convert with the XF08C kit but (legality aside) you can only maintain about 20mph with the XF08C - your Trek is at present substantially faster. The benefit is you get about 20% more miles out of the XF08C at 20mph than the Trek at 22mph. If you fit that Cube with a...

if you check the web page: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?karoo I only give an average indication of 50 miles for 13AH. Legality aside, if you derestrict the Karoo, you won't cause much attention because the assistance reduces quickly above 15mph to nil at 22mph. The Woosh Karoo: Matt black classic...

there is no reason for me to argue with your personal experience. I sell bikes to people of all shapes and sizes, each customer has his/her own requirements, there isn't one size fits all solution. As I said, here is the tool to guesstimate what battery capacity you'd need. You can input your...

you should read members' reviews of the Woosh Karoo.

there may be specific problems with that bike like the battery has a bad block of cells. When you use a bike for commuting, one leg may use more battery than the other because of elevation but by and large, power consumption is pretty much proportional to the cube of speed. This is a fundamental...

Rules for SKD and PKD: QUOTE: In brief, for what concerns the classification rules held applicable to imports of components for vehicles assembly (Chapter 87), GIR n. 2 (a) can apply if components are simultaneously presented to customs for clearance. The definition of the terms simultaneously...

I reckon that the EU will give TM her transition deal. They only need to fudge their red line on the NI border a little. 1. the future EU/UK relationship will be a close one. 2. the ECJ will decide what happens to trade on NI border after the transition. 3. EU citizens will continue to move...

I suspect JC does a 'Trump' on this subject. The sociologist angle is this: like in a TV wrestling show, people want to see their politician as 'good guy' or 'bad guy'. DT excels in this. 90% of media comments are hostile to him and yet, he may win another term of office. JC does not need to...

have you tried an electric road bike with rigid fork, large wheels and skinny tyres?

how far do you want to go? with a 17ah rack battery, you can hit 100+ miles on pedal assist with a rigid fork and 700-28 tyres.
