A nice coincidence of Farage and farago in this context. .

If it complies in respect of 250 watts, pedelec power control and 25 kph assist limit, yes it's an EAPC (UK) and EPAC (EU). This looks promising to create a lower price velomobile. .

OK. Let me add some excitement to keep viewers glued to the thread :): It's the fat content of flour that makes for heavyness in the context of light baking. For example: Potato Carbohydrate 25% Protein 10% Fat 5% Sweet Chestnut Carbohydrate 25% Protein 5% Fat 10% One can see that though...

It would be money down the drain anyway. In mainland Europe and indeed Britain, there's a barrier at about a third of the voting population beyond which people won't vote for the far right. Mosley, Farage and the Le Pens have all flogged this dead horse in turn, without success. The only...

I agree, potato flour, though not as heavy as sweet chestnut flour, is too heavy on its own for any recipe that requires good rising characteristics. .

I think it would be very likely if the only terms that could be agreed with the 27 are markedly different from a true Brexit. Abruptly casting the country to life without any EU trading seems unthinkable, so backing down on departure could become the best option. .

That seems to be an absolute for any EU dealings. The position for agreements is the same as that with trade. In both respects the EU is just an administrative overseer, all trading and agreements are with the other 27 members individually. Effectively that means each has a veto, very much...

That's reasonable, the Giant Lafree crank drive of the same period delivered 20 miles for most riders from 24 volts 6.5 Ah of NiMh. .

We had exactly the same van delivery service from Ever Ready in the 1950s, the only direct supplier of a component at the time, all other bike components came from factors like Brown Brothers, who now only supply car based stuff. The bike makers like Raleigh delivered direct to shops though. .

Well you never know with a Yorkshireman. I cast my mind back to army days when a group of us were out in Andover, several on a midday drinking session. One Yorkshireman who was in married quarters and very much under the thumb of his wife ended up with too much to drink and hours overdue back...

Derogation for such as pedelecs has to be the outcome. Inclusion of all the unregistered classes mentioned would have the ridiculous outcome of illegal vehicles such as Segways having compulsory insurance in law. The courts would never accept that. .

When I entered the trade in 1950, we were lucky if there was a choice of 1 for any component in our war recovering country. Spokes were just long and had to be threaded further down and cut shorter for smaller wheels. Most spares/components were unbranded generics, but gears were...

Mostly clever marketing preying on consumer's false notions and their often elitist snobbishness. .

You're not alone. How about these two, both from the same supplier: Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-Speed Cassette £43.08 SRAM Eagle XG-1299 12 Speed Cassette £298.99 That extra rear sprocket appears to cost £255.91 :eek: And that's the discounted prices, lists are £74.99 and £353 respectively. .

Depends on the pedals and spanner thickness, often you can, but some have a very narrow flatted shaft width and need the slimmer pedal spanner. .

Good idea, but if not: Allen Keys, the most common sizes on bikes are 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. They can be bought as a three way tool. A pedal spanner is needed, since it can need effort to either install or remove a pedal. You only mention screwdriver owned, you could need both Phillips and slot...

Stuttgart pedelecer Redalexx who has posted above has written an illustrated article theorising on the causes of the Impulse 2 problem. At his request I've revised the English grammar in his English version article without any alteration of meaning and he has published it on the German forum...

An American drug trial at Northwick Park Hospital in Britain led to six otherwise healthy young men suffering horrifically from ballooning misshapen heads and ending up with fingers and toes lost in some cases. All six were left much more likely to suffer cancers. Since it's impossible to...

Unless you make your yorkshire pudding with potato flour. :)

An aside. Thalidomide has never been withdrawn and is still a valuable aid in combating a variety of cancers, some with no other successful treatment, plus a variety of other illnesses. The major difference is that women requiring it have to agree to two forms of simultaneous birth control to...
