My sympathies. Make sure you have removed the Cryptowall 3.0 virus in reformatting the SSD before reloading your files. There's advice on this link if you need to do that, scroll down for the gen. .

We even had a light sprinkling here in the south-east this morning, but it quickly melted away. .

Another point I should have mentioned is sprung seatposts, When those are fitted as they commonly are, they add a bit of height and affect the size choice. Since the amount they add varies, always check the personal fit even when you know the acceptable frame size range. .

Dealing just with the size issue, yes, that is correct that it's primarily the pedal reach that's important, riding with legs too bent is ineffective and inefficient. I have the same inside leg measurement and can only touch down with a toe area at a standstill, the foot angled down to do that...

Loosen the bolt or bolts on the handlebar stem and it can be. :) .

Well done on the record d8veh, I know what you mean about the fitness and muscle build-up. Two years after retiring and losing fitness I resolved to greatly increase my cycling, unpowered at that time, leading to well over 5000 miles in the year and a large gain in thigh muscle. Mostly lost...

Being clueless on a technical subject is perfectly ok Billy, we're in a complicated world where none of us knows everything. :) The power becomes lacking if riding very much faster because wind resistance rises so rapidly with speed increase. For example, cycling at 12 mph wind resistance is...

No, you can't use it or similar on a hub motor bike like the Cyclamatic. There are two things that can be done to tune that. First to increase speed, the ony method is to use a higher voltage battery, in your case a 36 volt in place of the 24 volt. That increases the top assist speed by half...

Answering for Martin, yes, the photo below from the group that he linked to shows the new bracket in that position. Anyone with a prior bracket can get that new one since Martin has them in stock:

The largest of my local Halfords did the opposite, moved it from a large area of the ground floor to the first floor, the ground floor filled with a big expansion of car stuff. They even scrapped the bike stand outside leaving nothing to lock bikes to. They do at least have a guy who appears...

I always do the opposite, complete the return online as early in the start of a new tax year as I can once all the information I need is in. Since interest rates on capital have been very low I even pay online the moment I get the figure owing at the completion of the return. Definitely the...

The EU law and UK Law both imply a legal pedelec is not a motor vehicle since they specify all motor vehicles are subject to type approval but that law does not apply to legal pedelecs. These they describe as pedal cycles with an auxilliary motor, and I think the term auxilliary is crucial...

Very true, all part of the personal nature of saddles. Affects sprung seatposts too, the pillar type never work for me unless I slam on the front brake and sit down hard at the same time! .

Member Martin at e-bikeshop who handles both Bosch and Yamaha equipped e-bikes will probably come in at some point and see and answer your question. It certainly does look a bit vulnerable, but the sub-base looks as if the display might rotate on it. .

Saddle choice is very personal. I'm happiest with one particular type of gel saddle from Velo, on which I've done plenty of circa 50 to 60 miles non-stop rides over around four hours without discomfort. A wider version of the same was torture though, showing just how finely tuned to the...

That's a very sensible carrier on the Woosh Gale. All too often small wheel folders have the carrier more forward where the heels when pedalling foul any panniers fitted. .

Just as well, link here :p .

I agree Jonathan, I'm aware of the existence of that treaty article. I've mainly been concentrating on the all too typical situation of a police prosecution going no further than a magistrate court initially, where no doubt the UK law could result in a conviction at that point. .

That perhaps wasn't quite the case in this instance Jonathan. The 2002/24/EC Type Approval law was implemented correctly right on the six months deadline on 10th November 2003, that law having been issued to all member governments on 9th May 2003. The error was in not dealing with the conflict...

In fact no-one was likely to be successfully prosecuted for a long past period either: This from the DfT in mid 2011: "The Department has considered the responses and supports recommendations to harmonise power limits (from 200 Watts to 250 Watts) with similar provisions in place across the EU...
