    Clothing complaint

    I decided, after going from (at 65) 22 stone two years ago to 13stone, to get a new wardrobe in general, and as I had just returned to cycling, proper clothes, not expensive branded ones but Halfords and the like. My annoyance is sizing. WHY is it that whilst all of the clothes I have chosen...

    I want to stay legal, but

    I have two bikes both with Bafang motors, 100% identical setup. On one it is no effort cycling in setting 1 of 9, in 8th gear, for the other bike to be as "nimble" it has to be on power setting 4. How do you "look" at the "power" settings of each 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/ please, many thanks
