    Brexit, for once some facts.

    when you introduce the notion of ignorance, then your logic will lead to depriving or limiting people (not just citizens of a country) of their rights. That can't be good. There is a phrase in French "nul n’est censé ignorer la loi", that is the basis of the rule of law. The word nul implies...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    and quite rightly so. They are fed up with continuing in the same direction, a slow decline economically and feeling less important politically. oh, why do you think that the opposition can't be effective when brexit happens?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did not have an English education but a French one where it's important to respect the three principles since the 1789 revolution (Robespierre 1790). Equality is fundamental, regardless of one's education, religion, colour and social standing. I cannot conceive the idea that you have to be...

    Two new Woosh bikes are on the way

    I don't know. If it's not done, I'll take it to the post Monday morning and email you the tracking code like I did last Wednesday.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    brexit has not happened yet, you don't know if we are going to do better or worse, that will of course depend on the deal with the EU. If we do better, then the dividend will go toward the NHS.

    If you have 2 pins in your brake sensor and don't want the glue on HDB sensors, get a £2 kill switch. The benefit of HDB is consistent performance and very low maintenance. They will pay for themselves in a couple of years. if you are changing over to HDB, just as well get a pair if only for the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You are pessimistic - you don't believe that people are intelligent enough to vote for their future. I am not.

    you should be careful when choosing hydraulic brakes for bikes fitted with PAS magnet discs because you may still be pedaling while you brake and the motor keeps running on for a second or two after you stop pedaling. Only a few models have built in sensors. They are expensive because they are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What's the problem with using your vote like everybody else to kick them out? Why do you believe that brexit and tories are linked at the hip?

    a conversion may be a better solution.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You should have listened to Keir Starmer - his new catchphrase is 'partnership not membership'. Starmer made it clear that Labour's condition for supporting brexit is a deal with the EU. Mrs May and her cohort of hard line brexiters may be driving the process but at the end, they can't risk the...

    Thoughts on the UrbanX eBike kit and other complete-wheel kits

    Believe it or not, that kit weighs 7kgs according to the web page. if you build a similar kit using a front XD motor plus a box on the handlebars to house the controller and a 10S2P battery, the total weight is about 4.5kgs.

    Thoughts on the UrbanX eBike kit and other complete-wheel kits

    the immediate benefit of such systems is no wiring or very little wiring, These systems are intrinsically low power, reducing risk of mechanical or electrical failures. There is nothing to stop the designer adding a port for an additional battery.

    I bought one for testing. It's good and dead simple to install but not as good as normal hydraulic brakes. You remove the old caliper, install the new one exactly the same way. 5 minutes.

    Two new Woosh bikes are on the way

    I am very sorry for the mistake. The address label was made for your old address.I'll find out what happens and get back to you on Monday. I think the G06 is actually better than the BPM, Bafang also make it in 500W and 750W but it's smaller in diameter, same weight compared to the BPM. It also...

    What cable diameter?

    Hello Cycling Weakly, I use silicon wires, 14 AWG for short length, 12 AWG for longer length but it's much more difficult to crimp 12 AWG. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flexible-Silicone-Wire-Cable-8-10-12-14-16-18-20-22-24-26-30-AWG-Various-Colours-/361296232202

    Panda conversion kits

    The battery that Baneli listed in the first post is 48V 10.4V. whichever way you look at it, a 1000W DD motor will suck at least 25A or 30A out of the battery depending on the controller at maximum power. His bike will suffer terrible battery sag. He'll really need a 48V 17AH battery for a 1000W...

    Hub gears for my bike

    d8veh, there is the benefit of low maintenance of the IGHs. Frayed shifter innercable, spongy outercable are common problems with derailleurs for no specific reason. It could be that is because the tension on the shifter cable is much higher with derailleurs. Plus, the derailleur can get bent...

    I read your previous post about Greek debts, that why I asked oldtom for his view about the eurozone and the ECB. If oldtom were as realistic as you are, this thread may have been much shorter.
