    Brexit, for once some facts.

    true, but if you look at a parallel in North Vietnam, it took something like 20 years to locate most (and still not all) those MIAs remains. It's more a guarantee that the USA won't just do a DT on them.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've got a bit of arthritis in my wrists, that all. but if you look closely at what DT and K.Y.U. have conceded, DT tried to spin his version, that military exercise is very expensive and he's always wanted to bring US soldiers home, so he cancelled military exercise while Kim blew up some...

    Waterproofing

    hub kits don't suffer much if at all from water. You don't have to do anything, other than drying your bike after riding in the rain. The LCD is a bit more exposed, so keep the glass at an angle for the water to run off. CD kits suffer much more from water because the controller is inside the...

    simple tandem conversion

    we usually check the pictures that the customers email us for the following: 1. which pedal sensor is easiest to fit. The left pedal sensor needs the left BB cup made in metal, it won't mesh with a plastic left cup. The BB axle needs to be 122mm-125mm, short spindle will not leave enough gap...

    Disc Brakes

    there may be a bit of dissolved air in the brake fluid that will separate over time and collects in the reservoir at the handlebars. It's quick and easy to check: squeeze both brake levers, if one feels spongier than the other, that is an indication.

    Zero Trip Distance on KM529?

    To zero the trip meter: hold down both the top and bottom buttons for 2 seconds. Be careful, if you hold down just the bottom button, the bike will be put into walk mode. So Squeeze the brakes just in case. A short manual on the KM 529 LCD is on page 15 of the manual...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it is a positive step, better than nothing but before you give credit to DT, just think about the background facts. At the time of Obama, NK would rather eat grass than giving up on the A-bomb. As long as China let them develop their nuclear weapons, there was nothing Obama could do to stop NK...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    as a matter of fact, North Korea did not commit to a timetable nor verification. DT has achieved publicity but not much substance. NK is going to trade WMD for food anyway. Nothing the the signed document forbids them to 'leak' their technology to others.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you see too much into it. The EU is a rule based organisation. You know the rules, you play the system. It's more tightly organised than the UN talking shop but their civil servants still can't do anything without the heads of states. EU directives take years to negotiate. Juncker can't do much...

    if that image is taken as of the outside of the fork then yes. 48V SWX02 in 700C will arrive in August. 36V SWX02 in 700C will arrive in September Not very. I don't have spare rims and it will take about 1.5 hours do do without the spoke machine. The spoke machine does the same job in 1...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Rees-Mogg: "no need for customs checks at Dover in no-deal Brexit" I thought he wanted to control our money and border. Rees-Mogg: “The delays will not be at Dover, they will be at Calais.” What is the difference if the tomatoes rot in Calais instead of Dover...

    How Best to Tackle Hills on a Longer Ride?

    that motor has winding code 13, maximum efficiency: 15mph, maximum speed: 20mph on 26". Maximum torque: 4mph. You can also run it at 48V but my 48V SWX02 code 16 beats it on hills and is lighter.

    How Best to Tackle Hills on a Longer Ride?

    On a geared hub like the BPM, its maximum output is about 650W. let's assume for the sake of argument that the gradient is 8%, your weight is 90kgs, bike + stuff you carry = 30kgs and your comfort zone is 60 RPM, that is where you can pedal most efficiently and at that cadence, you can sustain...

    How Best to Tackle Hills on a Longer Ride?

    their comments are suitable for crank drive bikes where your motor will thank you for selecting the right gear. You are not driving your car up a steep hill in the fifth gear. The Big Bear is a hub drive, the torque you get does not depend on the gear you are in. So relax, you can control the...

    Smaller Wheel = Fewer Broken Spokes?

    No, the risk is about the same. Better quality control / wheel build = less risk of broken spokes. Spokes work in traction. If one of them gets loose, you have one chance out of 36 that the loose spoke is at the wrong place at the wrong time when you ride over a lump, it'll get compressed and...
