17Ah instead of 10, it is already working much less hard which will help it last longer. Never leave it empty and try not to run to empty. With the bigger capacity that should be easy. Get some charge into it asap if it does get very low. If it is in regular use, then no harm in charging to...

Snap! The steel toecaps are a bit overkill, and the 1kg+ weight per welly makes them short trip footwear only, but my old work wellies do me very well.

Not expected until early Jan, and may have sat on a shelf for a while. But hoping they will be close to as new capacity. There may be a diyed bike with shimano electrics some time in the future, already have everything but the display. It was too much battery for too little money to resist.

So far my tyres mostly go on and off without even the need for tyre levers, but I usually carry a couple of substantial tea spoons just in case.

I couldn't resist a couple of Shimano new unused 504Wh batteries for £132 each, delivered after an ebay discount voucher. But those are for me! They are the same model I use on my solar setup, but not seemingly widely sought after. Usual price is towards £500 each...

This sounds fun!

For ease of use, the longer the better. Looking a long way back in my ebay purchases, this is what I carry: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Bike-Pump-Portable-Bicycle-Tyre-Inflator-Hand-Tool-Schrader-Presta-Valve-UK/384233618201?pageci=98f499f3-04ce-4a98-b9d2-4f5482ad758d&redirect=mobile About...

I bought an ultra cheap, very lightweight, but fairly long pump, which is fine for occasional punctures and achieving moderate pressures. Having used it in anger about 10 times, I would not want anything smaller. At home I have a cheap and very adequate middle of Lidl track pump.

Insulated plasterboard is the straightforward way to add substantially to thermal performance for walls and ceilings I.e. internal room surfaces. This is what happens in Scotland to hard to heat homes like old stone croft houses, and to various categories of qualifying benefits receiving...

#20 spambot reported

One of my distant neighbours bought a step through Rad bike, hub motor, and has one regret. She saved a bit of money by getting a single speed instead of derailleur equipped 7 or 8 speed version. Can't get up the steep hill on her way home. Otherwise she is very happy with it. So probably...

#294 sounds like my words from months ago. Spam.

Depends on... size and spec of the window, size of the room, level of insulation and ventilation. It can all be calculated.

(Wh, not W...)... Sadly, not in the winter. Mounted vertically or very steeply I.e. perpendicular to the sun, in a proper blue sky condition you can expect a similar yield of about 3Wh per W of labelled peak power, but in overcast that goes down to close to zero. So the average is woeful...

On the other side of the picture for Bosch/Yamaha/Shimano, despite their canbus comms and locked down systems, they come with a comprehensive warranty usually 2 years on motor battery and e bits, and they are extremely well engineered. Looked after, used and stored carefully, in most cases they...

It would be really interesting and useful if you did combine bbs01 and sturmey archer 3 speed hub, and share the outcome! I'll be listening...

When I lived in a ruin, a few years ago, I built a room within the ruin 10ft square and 7ft high with a foot of cheap rockwool insulation on all faces. With good draughtproofing too it only needed me and my laptop to keep it warm.
