Careful! From experience if it (the disk) rubs even slightly the friction will create heat, the plastic will swell and... disaster will strike. No rubbing! Even if you have 1/10th of a mm and it doesn't rub you won't have problems.

The EU does not define sovereign nations employment policy, the national governments do that. Southern Spain relies on agriculture and tourism for employment, northern Spain is more industrial. Youth in southern Spain may be without a job because without a contract which involves social...

That doesn't mean they are out of work...

I don't mind one way or the other. I enjoyed getting a decent gear shifter three years ago so much after many years of complicated and under-performing ones that I don't mind changing gears - in town I only use two anyway.

Zero hour contract = you have a job. Can you feed your family and pay rent with what you earn? Doesn't matter, unemployment is down!

My "crappy Chinese" KT controller is much more sophisticated than that and power reduction is progressive over several seconds. You are accelerating, the motor helps you up to 25 km/h but, if you are a healthy cyclist, you continue to accelerate up to about 32 km/h and then you start to feel...

1. The EU isn't as corrupt as the US and you want a special relationship with them, please explain? Oh they speak a form of the English language... 2. The EU didn't like some of the MEPs you elected to represent you, they don't like some of the MEPs France elected either but nobody has their...

I am a bit younger that you - 63, and average between 27 and 32 km/h on the flat bit of road I ride for fitness training (27 km total which is why I know I averaged that after a 1 hour ride). I also average around 27 km/h on my pedelec.

Not because of selfless pity for UK citizens?

Yes that is what I have on mine. I will try to go back to the stock 46 tooth chainwheel because the trike is a 26" wheel and not the 28" that I use the GSM with now. If that doesn't work out I'll go double 48-32. https://www.pattersonbike.com/product/patterson-transmission/ 1.6 overdrive...

I am seeing more and more incompetent pedelec riders (holiday season - everyone and their dog seems to have one...), in all evidence people who have never been on a normal bike in their life or haven't been on one in over 40 years. Or the last one they were on had learner wheels :eek:

I have spent quite a bit of time running the numbers on gear reduction (because I often bump into +20% gradients) and my conclusion is the following: 1. get a Rohloff and gear it conservatively, you spin out at around 47 km/h but it will climb anything 2. use 2 chainwheels with a Rohloff, small...

Some are confined to roads only already! On the open road I would like to be limited to the speed of my legal 250 W motor(s) which is about 32-33 km/h, I am already limited to 10 km/h on cycle paths I use regularly and I am one of the rare ones who knows how fast I am going. How many cyclists...

52v batteries are not legal as per EN 15194 on the road so the market for them is likely limited.

I am also a car driver, so I can ride a 125 cc motor cycle without any training. Let me try again: 15 hp motorbike limited by road sign, capable of 120 km/h... Point taken?

250 hp car limited by road signs but capable of 200+ km/h 250 W assisted bicycle limited by electronics to 25 km/h spot the error... 25 km/h is really too fast for most cycle paths, here they are often limited to 10 km/h and 5 km/h when mixed. The problem is when riding on the road where...

I just did a battery charge and looked at how many Wh/km I got from the previous one - 5.05 Wh/km! Lots of the 57 km were done over the 25 km/h cut off so what happened? I have a trike which I ride without a motor and have averages of 27-32 km/h on the flat. I got strong legs back... The GSM...

I never could stand the man despite him asking the right questions from time to time in the EU parliament. I think there was a little voice inside telling me he didn't have the answers. He didn't help his case much by saying something pertinent then immediately scoffing "you are paying me to...

One day I'll teach you cut and paste, writing is so early 20th century... :rolleyes:

I drilled out my hitch so that it would fit on the Mxus axle and it still works on a QR axle too.
