Anthony, I'll send you 3 spokes tomorrow.

I am going back to France in any case.

I have left the office, so couldn't check. I think we use 2-cross pattern. The problem is usually spoke tension. They need to be even on all 36, firm but not too tight.

there is no predictable reason that brexit will fail. Most of the brexit topics concern trade with the EU, little else. Trade does not make happiness, and there will be winners and losers whichever way we go.

you can use the spoke calculator here: http://www.ebikes.ca/tools/spoke-calc.html select Bafang BPM as hub, 26" rim as rim, 1-cross as pattern, We have spares if you need some. edit: our spoke length 200mm.

but that is like burying your head in the sand. It's going to happen.

that is so far not a lie. The public voted for brexit and as long as the public still chooses brexit if asked, then it is still 'the will of the people', the politicians have the moral duty to implement it. OG, it's time you should declare which brexit you'd like to see.

what do you expect? it has to get worse before it gets better. Brexit is a big step change. There will be winners and losers, at the moment, we can guess who are the losers but the only early identified winners are the super rich.

yes, it seems that way. The Chinese are going to set themselves up as EU producers, like the Japanese have done with their cars.

well, I have just finished reading the complaint under article 5 of the EBMA, it seems that the EU will have to do something to curb the market share of Chinese imports. ZEG shows us how to do it: fitting Bosch motor to bikes made by Vietnam Strongman company. $543 for the bike without motor and...

I used to attend Intel IPI conferences - death by powerpoints we called them. We have to attend to keep our accreditation but only go for the gossip and free meals.

OT and OG don't say anything about which brexit they want, albeit that's where we are heading. he was selective. We still have to cough up the money in case we crash out with no deal. The EU wants a firm commitment that the money will be there before they start talking trade, and they will say...

so these guys are taught how to remove the three bolts? how much are they charged to attend?

the EU does not ask us to pay for a good trade deal. It is just that this tory government does not want customs union, the ECJ and FOM. Therefore, the only deal the EU can do is CETA type, on goods that attract already low duty. Our government wants passporting for our banks and mutual...

I did not expect reading this from the Torygraph: The trouble with Brexit, they should have said, is that it will be monumentally tedious. So monumentally tedious, in fact, that beleaguered voters will actually beg their MPs to make the media shut up about it. Such has been the experience of...

about the same, 36V * 20A or 48V * 17A. The 48V kit is 1.5kg lighter.

I read that article yesterday. Can't say I am not depressed. Let's wait and see if the EU will slap ADD on the e-bike kits as well.

it seems to me that'll be the only way.

direct motors are not efficient for lows speed hill climbing. Rear geared hub motors are better for hill climbing. Take the Bafang SWX02 in the Woosh 48V rear hub kit for example, its internal gearbox has a reduction ratio of 5:1. Its speed after the gearbox is of course 5x lower, that produces...

there seems to be a general objection from brexiters with paying to sell to the EU27. Let's take my business. Like KudosDave, I sell e-bike kits to EU customers. The reason is simple: it is not realistic to send my kits to the other side of the world and expect to be competitive. The EU is a...
