    Kt-lcd3 display

    KT LCD3 works with KT controllers. Even then you can have plug mismatches as I did.

    Global warming,is it just the cycles of the earth

    Becoming a billionaire by inheritance then losing most of that money (so rumour has it) isn't so fab. We would be more clear on his actual worth if he published his tax returns. Tony Schwartz wrote the best known book, luckily because Trump can't spell. Hell he can't even speak a decent...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It depended very much on the generation you belonged to when I was gowing up. It wasn't so much the UK but rather the English who were very much unloved. Being Scottish, Welsh or Irish got bonus points even and "How do you put up with them?" comments... Just one persons experience from a...

    PSWPower after sales service?

    Hub drives require torque arms on all bikes that don't have a steel frame so a mid-motor is usually easier to fit. You also keep your wheels and there is no issue with cassettes from 7 to 12 speed or you can use an IGH like the nexus 8 inter.

    PSWPower after sales service?

    http://www.pswpower.com/ven.php?cargo-s210025 Stock in Germany, you will be talking to German after sales support. I would go for the 500W/48v variant because the extra power is only useful if you are going to be thrashing about offroad. It will be gentler on the battery too.

    Need some help looking for the fastest ebike to buy!

    I am looking at the hydraulic conversion kit for my Sturmey Archer drum brakes. In any case I am seated as far forward as the seat will go (better for cornering) and haven't yet lifted the rear wheel. In reality this thing is so damned fast down hill that I chicken out early... :eek:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In many societies - Singapore is one - the family is a tight knit group which covers many of the tasks social security takes care of in the UK. This same family unity works in Greece, Spain, southern Italy, Portugal and to a lesser extent in parts of southern France. Is the UK family a tight...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    India and Indonesia being the ones with the largest populations. Japan a very tough market to penetrate even for VW. Australia and NZ tiny populations. Southern Africa is an interesting market but very much all terrain vehicle territory.

    Problems Indexing on a 1x9

    Yeah I was going to say the derailleur extender might be the culprit. Best having a derailleur that can handle the gears than using an add on. I had no problem with the derailleur clearance when I put an 11-40 on. I can't comment on chainline problems, on a trike that is not a thing...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I bet it won't be. I can see them being more agressive in the EU market probably offering 0% financing like they have done in the past.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Germany is Germany's largest market for cars... There were nearly as many VWs sold in Germany (Q3) as there were German cars exported to the UK in a year.

    Sunstar SO3 opinions

    We'll save that for the vélomobile... ;) I can't pull 48:11 any more - too old now, so 60 would not be on the cards. I did look at 50-34 compact double on a 110 BCD spider but I think 48-32 on the 104 BCD spider will suit me just fine. I got very fit riding a couple of times a week - my Wh...

    Sunstar SO3 opinions

    For the moment my motor is on an upright with 28" wheels. I would say that on the flat the motor is equivalent to 2 or 3 gears increase - I do ride on the flat without the motor switched on and battery not on the bike from time to time. So on the 8 speed cassette instead of using 3rd gear I...

    Sunstar SO3 opinions

    I may have used top gear (48:11) 3 or 4 times since I got the trike... On the flat and slight downhills I spend most of my time in 48:15 at about 40 km/h. Last season on my flat 27 km training route I got fit enough for about 32 km/h average. That is me and an "empty" trike, just the two small...

    There are some Bafang ones, you would have to make an adaptor or have the motor bracket welded to a boom. https://www.bafang-e.com/en/components/component/motor/mm-g332250.html

    Sunstar SO3 opinions

    Your calculations are correct with respect to preserving the motor. With the load you are pulling I would go for a 48 or a 46 tooth big chainwheel keeping the 34 small one. At a few quid a pop you could buy a couple of different sizes and do real world tests.

    Sram EX1 cassette...spacings and thickness?

    The mistake they made was making an 8 speed wide range drivechain for e-MTB. If they made a wide range 8 speed drive train for trekking/commuter bikes with even spacing between gears it would be a much better option than a nexus 8 IMO.
