Reminds me of what Thompson senior of the Thompson Stores told A to B magazine back in 2003 when they were critical of all his e-bikes at the time being single speed and very low geared. He said bluntly, "My customers don't pedal, won't pedal". With his five stores selling 7000 e-bikes that...

It's because it is so inconveniently efficient, so close to 100% efficiency that it's not worth trying to measure the difference. Nothing else comes close, simply because derailleur isn't a gear system with losses, it's just a choice of a number of single speeds. .

She's very confused, Ireland is one of the 27 so the above is impossible. And keeping free travel between EU member the Irish Republic and Ulster with no border control means no control over immigration from the rest of the EU. .

In d8veh's link and elswhere you'll see divided opinion on this, but both can be right since there are two 10 speed chain width standards: 10 speed - 6.2mm (Shimano) 10 speed (narrow) - 5.9mm (Campagnolo) So it depends what chain you are using and what standard your chainwheel was made to. .

I understand the first three being wanted by you, but why the Human Rights Act which has done so much good and prevented so much that is wrong? None of those opposing it now said anything against it until David Cameron had his rant, wanting his Bill of Rights. Lack of rights more likely...

Hi Phil, welcome to the forum. The Electric version is called the Giant Revive, long discontinued now. Its motor unit was a variant of the Panasonic crank drive motor, last made in late 2005. I quite liked the design but it didn't catch on with the public, dealers ending up selling them...

Although I have better, the majority of my photography is with pocket cameras, and they've produced most of my best photos. One was the winner of a 2015 photo competition. Pocket cameras from the respected marques in the last few years are capable of excellent results with many subjects. I've...

The locals will overcome it as they always have, just crossing anyway regardless of what the law says. Theres a similar situation at the Norway-Russia border, the latter under sanctions. But every day both sides wanting to trade gather at the border and cross to communicate and trade. The...

Probably of particular interest to those who believe the EU will fail, there's a program on BBC2 next Thursday 9th February at 9pm. In it Katya Adler investigates the nationalist mood sweeping the eurozone and how it now threatens the future of the EU. It will also be available on later dates...
