    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Why do you keep going on about corruption in the EU Z? Isn't getting ahead in life because you were born into money, went to the right school and were hired via the "old boy/girl" network not a form of corruption? The UK is all squeaky clean and no wrong is ever done for money? Yeah sure, there...

    OK to extend PAS cable?

    Please post a picture of your proposed layout. I am at the stage of deciding too and I definitely need air flow because I have had overheating problems during testing on the upright - at peak load adding just 120 W more power. Here are my choices in preferred order: 1. under the boom in the...

    30 mile each way commute, which bike is best?

    Where are the pedals? ;) I think the Stromers are the 21st century equivalent of a solid 50 c.c. 4 stroke. Unfortunately they have a Swiss price tag, not a Japanese made in Viet Nam one...

    30 mile each way commute, which bike is best?

    For that distance you want a speed pedelec a.k.a. moped! I would be looking at a Stromer ST1, ST2 or similar - hub motor, fully kitted for commuting (tyres, lights) and quality build.

    EX 1 cassette bodge idea

    I would love to go to 1 x 12 but the price of chains would ruin me in short order. Theoretically the chain should wear at a third of the rate seeing as there are three of them end to end but I don't buy into that theory because trikes are built to be a hard and fast ride = wear and tear... That...

    EX 1 cassette bodge idea

    That is the right idea. Wrong price. I'm too old for a 9 tooth top gear, I have enough trouble finding somewhere I can use 11 teeth and I live near mountains!

    EX 1 cassette bodge idea

    Is it easy to take appart? If so replacing cogs is the way forward. I think there is a market for a company providing reparable cassettes instead of the wast of having to bin perfectly good cogs just because one or two are worn. I would buy from companies that provide products that can be...

    Wheelie control

    Number Two lifts the wheel very elegantly (ladies frame! :) ): - low enough gear and assistance level 5 - push hard on the pedals Most often happens when going up steepish ramps.

    Neater/Simpler way to install the pedal sensor?

    There are black cable ties in the shops you know... :D Looks fine except you can't use the granny gear any more.

    Which Bafang kit?

    Level 1 provides just about enough Watts to move the kit you put on the bike, like riding the bike before you put a kit on. Level 2 things start to get serious on the flat. Funny thing is as you get fitter you will feel the difference between levels more distinctly, at least that has been my...

    Will type approved speed pedelecs wake the police up

    The other day I followed a very strong chap down a long hill for a bit before passing (in a car). He was a big lad and giving it everything he had on the big ring - a rough estimate would be somewhere over 70 km/h. In Irun the limit is 30 km/h, bicycles included. I have been a bit over by...

    PAS TYPE DIFFERENCES

    Both of those used square taper last time I looked - I was thinking of putting my spare Mxus in one of those. I would go for the 520, the wheels are much better for example.
