Yes, since as KTM said, you want to run a post mount caliper on an IS frame Your 51mm says that your frame is an IS one. .

To understand you have to stand in the accuser's shoes. From their point of view they see someone pedalling, then perceive a motor driving. They know nothing about relative motor powers or pedal control to apply power, what they see is apparently someone being driven along by a motor while...

You'd only be liable if the product you supplied was faulty and the fault caused the accident. The whole range of applicable standards is very complex. However, if you use a reputable bicycle that has been built to those standards, plus an e-bike kit from a reputable supplier that meets the...

They'd still call it cheating on the basis that Adam is cutting his journey time by a third by using e-power. No matter what response we make, the cheating accusation will persist, simply because the accusers are comparing directly to cycling as it's generally understood. In that sense they...

Drying it off after riding could dry the road dirt onto the bike. Perhaps you should have shampooed it before using the hair dryer, assuming your wife wouldn't mind the bike stood up in the bath. Nexxus shampoo sounds ideally suited for use on a bike. :D

You've added wrong headings, both are Post to IS for rear brakes. They will suit if the space between the mounting holes on your frame is 74mm and not 51mm. The first one is for the listed brake discs of 160mm, 180mm, and 203mm. The second is for the listed Rotor fit 203mm discs. The way the...

Seems to be discontinued, no longer in their range of models in their website: Qwic bicycles .

They're discontinued, Mercedes did the same with their last e-bike a decade ago. These bikes are only introduced for a while as a sales and publicity aid for their Mercedes and Smart cars. Several other car makers have done the same with both unpowered bikes and e-bikes, sometimes including...

I have a 60 tooth chainring on my 20" wheel e-bike to give me a sensible gear range. They aren't a standard item, mine was made by Zenith in France and I bought it from Highpath Engineering, specialist cycle engineers.

As an ex trade man, I know that what Kudos Dave has posted about margins is very true, no independent dealer could stock and sell at such a low margin as £70. The only way that's possible is if the importer sets up their own shops as 50cycles have done for example. That way the importer...

That line is not only weird Jonathan, it's also affected the "Reply" behaviour. Normally when using the reply button the quoted text persists, so has to be used or a post made and deleted if necessary. In this case that doesn't happen to your lined through text, when I quoted to check it out...

Yes, very much so. The BTwin has an average front hub motor, while the Big Bear has the powerful high torque BPM motor. Subjectively you'd notice a big difference, especially in hill climbing. .

Yes, lumens are additive, but not to the eye. Our eyes are logarithmic so to get double the perceived brightness requires a huge increase in the number of lumens. For the same reason we can only just see the output of a 200 lumen light as more than that of a 100 lumen light. .

Things settle in the early weeks of use and a need for tightening can result. In particular, spokes settle in and can often lose tension initially, leading to wheels getting out of true and sometimes giving spoke breakage trouble later. Square taper fit crank arms can slacken slightly leading...

Not really the same thing to compare though. Full throttle on an S pedelec uses up to 500 watts rating to take the machine to 28 mph (45kph). Full throttle on a pedelec uses only 250 watts rating to accelerate more slowly to a maximum of 15.5 mph (25kph). Allowing full throttle on these is...

I very much agree, but that's entirely our own fault. As I remarked above, our liking for attacking others in a major cause of that hatred. From the crusades through to Afghanistan, we have a very long history of violent interference on others lives and affairs. We don't have to continue in...

Yes, the Barnet formula has always been unfair and adds to their gain from making their own decisions. As for nuclear weapons, most of the world's countries including bigger ones than us manage without and have no desire to have them, so why should we take it upon ourselves to have them...

Yes, it's the trouble with so many of the refinements. Fine in the lab but in the worst working conditioins simplicity can pay off best. .

But that's come about since they got their own parliament and started making their own decisions about how the money should be distributed. There can be no better illustration of the respective priorities than their refusal to accept having nuclear missile submarines and the UK parliament's...
