Welcome to the forum, I hope your kit conversion leads to years of e-biking pleasure. .

ISIS are finished, basically having committed suicide. Any violent movement seeking real change needs to have political skills as well as force, and it's there that ISIS have failed. Through their blinkered stupidity they've made the whole world opposed to them, even those they seek to help...

It should do the job at least as well as the Salisbury, which was one of the lower powered pedelecs of its time, and a very old design now. There's good chance it will be noticeably better, things have moved on a lot in the over ten years since the Salisbury first appeared. .

That definitely isn't the case, we do get police shipped in in numbers from time to time for major events, but they only perform mundane duties such as lining routes. We're far from short of our own armed police and the entire central area has always had them in numbers all the time. And it's...

But not the originating post in a thread, the author cannot delete that. .

Don't know anything about it, but the item in this adjacent thread looks ideal for stealth, looking more like a hub gear than a motor. .

Absolutely, but the BBC is at it again this morning, cancelling the normal programs on BBC 1 from 11am and having an hour long extra news program to do the terrorist's propaganda work. .

OK, so Diane Abbott's mathematics ability would not make her a good choice for Chancellor of the Exchequer, but the other lot have Boris Johnson as Foreign Minister, for his diplomatic skills? If Labour are unelectable, by the same token the Tories are. Little wonder many say they will not be...

The weakest cycle bell implementation has to be the 2007/8 Kalkhoff Agattu one. It was a tiny dome inserted in the left brake lever housing with a little lever which one flicked. The result was a tiny single ping. Here it is illustrated below:

Yes. It's for the USA's own safety that they retain the ultimate control. It should never be forgotten that at the start of the 1930s the USA had an advanced plan to go to war against Britain, something that was finally fully revealed under their release of documents time interval rules...

I don't think that's an option. Although the submarines are ours, the Trident missiles are under US control with software and maintenance essentials from them.. We either have the upgrade or nothing. This has been the case throughout, from the early Polaris system through to Trident. A bit...

It seems a plausibe theory, but it doesn't stand up to examination. Robotics and automation are largely restricted to manufacturing and some repetitive outdoor work. But when it comes to repairs and replacements, all too often only the manual worker can do the job. Such things as tunnelling...

On the record it's safer than laptop batteries have been. If they've no objection to laptops and tablets, there's no problem with your bike. .

The modern ones are mostly useless, those from half a century ago worked well with a loud double ring. .

But that's a cure for the problem too. ;) .

Not surprising, the majority of the public are drivers or benefit from cars, and they know that really helping cyclists results in half the road getting taken behind a barrier and the rest of the traffic in a single file jam. So for many their point of view is, foxes are furry and have the...

No, we need strong man, Vadlimir P. would be ideal. No more of a string of horses pulling a golden coach to take the queen to parliament, Vlad would ride there alone, stripped to the waist on a horse to sort those buffoons out. And since the Russian oligarchs live in London, most being his...

Far from it, my father was on about £6 a week at the time. The doctor was doing ok though, living in a very large house in exclusive Queens Park Avenue, even a name to go with that, Doctor Westgarth Taylor, and drove a Jaguar. To be fair though he more than once pushed the half crown back to...

I'm old enough to remember it pre-NHS, walking to the doctor as a kid clutching half a crown to pay him for seeing me. That was equal to around £8 now. And as a 7 year old in hospital for three weeks with an infected arm, the only kid dumped in a mens ward with my arm tied up to a frame above...

Calm isn't enough, try these: Method one: "You're looking very nice today, have you changed your hair?" If that doesn't work try slipping over a fiver next time. N.B. Method one might not be advisable if the receptionist is a bloke. .
