Team Hybrid had an electric motored BMX stunt team that I saw at one display, and they wore the batteries with a quick release lead connection. So it worked for them. .

Surely the logic is that if someone is deemed unacceptable, continuing to show them after that ruling would not be logical. I don't think you'll be deprived, the show will continue whatever happens. .

They can suspend or sack him from the show, since they own Top Gear and can dictate who appears in it. .

Whatever his action, he's a wealthy presenter. His creating such a situation in a world full of restaurants just because a meal wasn't laid on after filming is ridiculous. It indicates a man who has outgrown his boots far beyond acceptability. I've never been bothered about him being in this...

And here is an instruction page on how to do it. .

The latest news that I posted above indicates differently. At first postponed, the next two episodes are now cancelled according to the news I heard at 4pm. These shows take a lot of planning and are made well in advance, so Clarkson will already be in the Sunday episode. Postponed meant it's...

Further information on the 4pm news, the next two episodes now cancelled rather than postponed. Also Clarkson when asked has said he regrets his action. .

Yes, any reduced sprocket makes an adjustment back in the slots necessary. It isn't always possible to reduce the chain by a whole link at that point and half links are rarely used. The added bedding in of the chain and sprokets has pushed the adjustment to the limit .

The Sturmey Archer 8 speed having the first gear as direct drive is a real problem with crank units. One company announced a spider for this hub gear on which chainrings could be fitted, enabling a much larger rear sprocket to solve the problem. It was announced in either A to B magazine or...

Certainly there's no confirmation of violence, which is why I posted "if it happened". There must be some justification for the action the BBC took. It's too serious and costly for it to have been just an overreaction. .

A link is two half inch sections. Also it's often forgotten or not known that there are half links for these single speed chains which enable a single stage to be removed. The complete two section link is removed and the single section half link put in place. .

The situation gets more serious, the BBC have now postponed the reminder of this series. It seems likely it arose from Clarkson punching the producer, clearly a completely inexcusable action which if it happened demands tough action. I think they should urgently seek a temporary replacement to...

They are far nicer and more effective in operation, but not essential. This option is probably most appealing to someone who already uses hydraulics and doesn't want to go back to mechanical. .

Subject to the safety and wiring concerns, this is certainly the most sensible and natural way to carry weight, close to the body. I'm sure a high proportion of our members carry far more than 5 kilos of extra weight against their bodies! ;) .

. Or she could be the Stigess. :) .

and the government too with any luck! Mucking along without one would probably work just as well. .

I don't think it's a stunt this time, cancelling a published top show in the making is a very serious step for the BBC to take. Since he was on a final warning from last year, it could be only an apology from him will allow his return. If he does come back he will have to be somewhat restrained. .

They are new. The competition in the under £1000 sector is very fierce, prompting LEBC to do a deal with the source on a number of them. The price is very good for that spec and the parts are all well known and widely used. .

Here's one at a bargain price for a very short while. Woosh also have some from £599, and they are a respected company. Kudos have some near to your price. And eZee have some near to your price with surprisingly good quality. .

It's the new era love-in! :D Or it could be a Neville Chamberlain "Peace in our time" moment. :( .
