I meant in the sense of not needing to resort to a decimal point or fraction. In this case the bigger number measure is superior since it spans in whole numbers the whole of the need with tyre pressures. The metric system is an arbitrary one which has many very inconvenient measures, unlike...

We also have metric and BAR measurement but most prefer to stick with the more precise pounds per square inch (lubs per squinch :)). conversion is 14.5 lbs/sq" to the BAR

I can't see these little lights even being noticed by drivers, especially in town and city with so many lights around and even less so in wet conditions when windscreen views are less than optimal. .

That looks and sounds awful in so many ways I can hardly begin to list them! Reminds me of the old Cyclemaster versus BSA Winged Wheel cycle motors of long ago. The first had everything inside the wheel like the Copenhagen, while BSA put the motor outside alongside and it's larger fuel tank on...

Yes, I saw that. I've never had this problem of an arm view, here's two of my setups:

It is very difficult to get above 80 lbs into a largish tyre with most pumps. I never took a Marathon Plus above 80 lbs anyway, they are quite stiff types and easily get uncomfortable when too hard. Being near the lighter end of the spectrum I usually had 55/65 in my MPs. .

Definitely. I first got a mirror years ago when I found with a hood when it rained didn't allow looking over the shoulder successfully. I found it so invaluable I won't ride a bike without one now, a mirror if it's properly used is the best protection a bike rider can ever have. .

Best bet is a large Dayglo message on the back of a jacket: . . ..HARD UP . . . . .NEED COMPENSATION . . . .PLEASE ..RUN INTO ME Motorists would collide with everything else while reading the message, but you'd never get touched. :) .

That's the lines I was speaking of too, compact one piece but the convenience of a separable battery for charging. .

Very true. These mirror indicators only appear to indicate at the front, surely it's the overtaking cars that need to see the turn intention? .

I suppose it'e the apparent simplicity of swapping a wheel that causes creators to automatically think wheel only Trex. A CD one would work and a compact battery could even be clip-off the front for separate charging convenience. .

Indeed since it was created long ago. For most batteries the one year period should now be at eighteen months, or possibly two years for the best high price examples. Otherwise the formula can still work. .

Exactly my opinion too, I can't see this wheel fitting any present market and doubt it could create a new one. There's precedent. US corporation Berkestrand launched the "Motorised Wheel" years ago with similar intentions, but it flopped. Their motor rights were sold to Sanyo who produced it...

No need to wait before charging, doing it either immediately after or before rides is fine Noel. The only restriction on charging lithium is that it shouldn't be done to a very cold battery, near to freezing point. .

No idea, but Flemish isn't really a language, more a group of dialects. I'm sure anyone in Belgium will understand the English words "Chinese" and "technology" though. .

That tube is normally very thin and won't need much of a knock to indent. .

I can't say exactly but there was a single vertical side battery Esprit around 2010/11 and the price back then was a little over £1000. Of the various Twist variants on this theme, they usually priced the twin battery versions around £1500, single battery around £1100 with a slightly lower spec...

The tube is quite thin so it only needs a quite light tap to indent. I've done this twice when fitting a much larger chainring which fouled the frame. Either a soft mallet or a layer of softer material like hard rubber or leather between hammer and frame does the trick and it's easy to gain 2...

Many makers put an indent on chainstays at the contact point for chainwheel clearance, and you can do the same in your problem position without weakening the frame. .
