    Folding bike gears

    All the Bosch and Yamaha bikes come with gear sensor. denwyn has a woosh CD motor without gear sensor. Without gear sensor, you have to blip the brakes or slow down your pedalling about a second before shifting gear.

    Folding bike gears

    with hub drive, she will rarely need to change gear, especially if the bike has a throttle that makes easy to start on hill. It's the same if she rides your bike on gear 5 and never changes gear. Just use the throttle to start and when the motor kicks in, start pedalling.

    Best Budget Kit and a few questions?

    there are ways. D8veh has a lot of spare parts, he may sell you a kit at cost - around £150-£200 if you ask him, leaving you with £300 budget to sort out a battery.

    nobody knows what brexit means. As you are the most coherent brexiter on the forum, so I asked you.

    how many teeth does the smallest rear cog have? if it's 14, then you can change the freewheel for one with fewer teeth.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Tillson, I am looking for serious answers. Donald Trump does not think political correctness is needed when one runs for the presidency of the USA. Maybe that's the reason that he feels associated with the brexit movement.

    My latest and most difficult conversion Trek Top Fuel 9.9 Carbon.

    in my personal experience, Bafang motors are very reliable more so compared with other components of the bike. Everything on the bike has a running cost, the motor's is way down the list, after battery, tyres, brakes, lights, other electrics, shocks etc.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    apparently Trump wants to be known as Mr 'brexit'. I wonder what brexiters may think of Mr Trump.

    Interesting news re Kalkhoff........

    my guess they want to enlarge the range for market share, as simple as that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would have thought that brexit is the way the UK will look away. There are 65 millions human beings on the move due to wars and famine. They may not all qualify as refugees but they are nevertheless homeless, jobless and need help. The EU tries to help, while we try to reduce our exposure. As...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suspect at the heart of this debate is how you view what is termed political correctness. If it's one of your guiding principles then it's difficult to vote to leave the EU.

    Well, I've gone and done it...

    your innertubes shoudn't lose air so quickly. Top up once a week is OK but you shouldn't need to top up every day. In my experience, Schwalbe innertubes retain air pressure quite well.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we all express an opinion even when not accopnaied by caveat - I don't see any problem in that. The piece in the Telegraph is rather bland, but factual IMO. The shock seems to be milder than predicted. As long as there are not much job losses, we'll get over it and fight another day.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the story of the referendum is one of the two halves. Ukip benefited from the division but leaving the EU will not change the future of most people who voted to get out of the EU, not even a little bit. They are unlikely to buy properties abroad or go and look for work elsewhere in the EU in the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    being elected, both Le Pen and Farage get a lot more TV time and official funding to grow their popularity. I agree with OG on why Cameron agreed to a referendum, internal strife of the conservative party. The current tory majority is only 17. Mrs May can't do much with such a small majority...
