    BBS motor with Gates belt...

    ...here is a picture. Why am I fixing a puncture on a brand new, just out the box, bike? Also no clamp to hold in the seat post included either.

    BBS motor with Gates belt...

    So, after about 4 or 5 weeks and a little over 200 miles all is still good with the 3 speed conversion, I ended up using the original narrow axle as fitted to the Sturmy 3 speed and just adjusted the o.l.d. to about 130 mm using spacers between the lock nuts, the axle thread had a good few turns...

    Video Editing Software for PC.

    I've just down loaded DaVinci onto my Windows 10 desktop but it keeps crashing. As it's loading I get an error "unable to load plug in: USD.plugin DLL initialisation routine failed" It does load and I'm able to import and combine clips, but it'll frequently fail and the program closes. Any ideas?

    "Government to investigate whether headlights are too bright"

    I've had over 20 Vauxhall Omegas over the years and they were one of the first cars to offer modern xenon headlights to the mainstream back around the year 2000, the government said they could only be fitted if they had automatic self leveling which, in the case of the Omega, uses sensors on the...

    Another Sur-ron accident.

    They do a road side swab which tests for cocaine and cannabis (why not heroin I wonder?) which is very accurate, this leads to an evidential blood test.

    Another Sur-ron accident.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-68698286 This one is a bit different in that the bike rider is in his 40's and the car driver is in his 20's and has been found to be unfit through drugs...

    BBS motor with Gates belt...

    I'm just back from an initial test ride after fitting the 3 speed and all seems good so far, there was a bit of a noise which I've just identified as the link in the single speed chain passing through the tensioner, but other than that I'm happy with the conversion from 7 speed derailleur.

    I don't have a HD but the one I do have has a function whereby you can limit the amount of power being delivered so hopefully t'will be fine.

    BBS motor with Gates belt...

    Thanks for the replies, I've had a think and have decided to fit a 3 speed Sturmy Archer hub to my existing bike instead, see if that can quell the desire I have for New Stuff. I purchased a new hub already built into a 700c wheel a few months ago but when I came to fit it I realised the axle...

    Mid Drive Pashley Sovereign TSDZ2

    Is he still on the Forum, E-Pashley? It's been a while but if he is then I too would like to add my praise for his obvious conversion skills, he's done a luverly job.

    ...has any one done this? I'm hankering after some shiny new metal as a bit of a treat for my upcoming birthday and have spotted a new belt drive bike with hub gears, It looks like the bike uses a concentric bottom bracket to tension the belt and I'm wondering if it would be possible to at least...

    From the picture it looks like your pads have worn low and allowed the brake arm to contact the mudguard.
