Maybe they sold an avalanche of bikes. It's rough, but its robust and fantastically cheap. My brakes are at last getting a bit better..... They are still far from being like the hydraulic ones on the other bike. Are you going to give this one away too? :)

This woman is obviously a nutter and the sentiment she posted was obviously disgraceful. But - is a fifteen month jail sentence a proper response to a stupid, and nasty remark made on line? Given the shocking leniency of many sentences for actual acts of violence in other times. people...

I could be wrong in blaming the Russians for the Nordstream demolition. See here -> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnvyz1472rpo Nevertheless, we should still be wary about the risk of having a lot of nationally critical infrastructure under the sea - especially in international waters...

In that case, that's the right thing to do.

Yes - but meanwhile..........

I'm not against experimenting with human made fusion, but as the Energy Prof points out, we already have a gigantic fusion reactor working only 93 million miles away and in areas like the Sahara, the sun provides 2.8 Mega Watt hours of energy per sq meter in a year. That is a phenomenal energy...

I reckon my 8.5Ahr one will likely be 10s3p, so the current will be limited for sure by comparison to a 15 or 20 Ahr one.

Did you order the folder as well Saneagle? I should emphasise that the little folder does climb ok, but the hill in question has bits that are probably getting on for 18 - 20%.

Lunatics. They should be certified and locked up. How do you recognise if someone is a vegan? You don't need to. They will soon tell you.

Lovely day today so I went for a 15 miles spin on the Argos cheapo folder. What a blast. I enjoyed every minute of it, even climbing up the monster slope near Greenhead on teh way back. It must be half a mile long and gains about 300 feet. It is really steep in parts and the hub motor showed...

Is there enough tension in the derailleur arm and is the chain line correct? Are the teeth on the sprockets worn out?

Thanks Nealh. I appreciate the steer and I have saved that for future reference.

They are pretty cheap really...

Yes - I can see exactly what you say happening as I ride it. I may at some time try and work out what would be needed in extracting the controller that is in the pod in front of the battery and think about the KT controller range. I would not need a powerful one. I should think anything that...

This is long over-due. There has been talk of Scottish wind farms being paid money to keep their generators out of production, because there was no grid capacity to transfer the energy south. One big blockage was the trip through Northumberland. The Conservatives should have bulldozed through...

I think the best information on battery life, favours taking care of them properly. You have obviously done that with a battery that lasted ten years at good capacity. The big killers of batteries are their owners, and their big sins are: Leaving fully discharged batteries in the shed and...

I think my test has proved that the battery survived the period of suspended animation very well. It has the full capacity they quote in the specifications. If they kept substantial stocks for a longer time , some of the cell groups might have gone too low for the BMS to accept a charge. This...

I NEVER want to see him again! :) It was a pretty gross experience, as I think you can imagine. The good thing is that a nice foal resulted. I saw it later.

Well it sure was cheap. I just got back from my range test. I had intended to ride six miles (added to the already covered 19.5) with about 180ft of climbing, but part way there, the sag on the voltage was pretty noticeable and I didn't fancy pedalling the girder weight folder back all the way...

That pretty much looks like the switch Guerney, though I am not that bothered about replacing it since I can turn off the power at the handlebar control unit. The battery is holding up pretty well as far as range goes. I have been testing its range and so far since charging I have ridden the...
