    Controller stop working when it rains

    How do you make a waterproof, completely potted controller stop in the rain? 1. It works OK when it is not raining? 2. How have you programmed it? (Amps? Volts?)

    Help me with my brakes

    +5000 km on original pads. Can do stoppies. Never tried entry level hydraulic disks so can't compare. I feel safe braking from over 45 km/h and with trailer full of shopping.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Correction: "no opportunity to blame"... Of course that won't stop them from blaming the EU. If something goes wrong in the UK then it is the EU's fault is rule number one after all...

    Are there any British manufacturers?

    Classic. All/most women's steel frame sports bikes made in France before the 1970's have frames like that.

    Should I bother with registration?

    That is meaningless, the law requires the motor to be rated as 250 W by the constructor. If you or the sales person limit a 750 W motor to 250 W it doesn't make it legal...

    Should I bother with registration?

    1. You will be fined for riding a moped without insurance and without moped equipment. 2. It would be unride-able. The motor needs to be marked as 250 W by the constructor, that has nothing to do with the power it makes at the wheel.

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    Not designed for, but with it taking 130 nM torque the Rohloff is more than adequate. Quite frankly the Nexus/Alfine 8s don't have enough range to be useful on anything but rolling hills and if you gear them low enough for mountains they are outside the torque limit...

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    I would like a 7 speed cassette or freewheel equally spaced from 12 to 40 teeth. That would cover the whole range from the +20% ramps in Navarra to the flat Landes (oh a pun!) with 32 and 48 tooth chainwheels. I asked DNP to make me a freewheel but they only go up to 34 teeth. You could probably...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The French expression for their stance is "De la poudre aux yeux" and is 100% related to Brexit. Do something, do anything to attract attention away from the real problem at hand. I am not saying 3 people getting ill in a mysterious fashion isn't a real problem - it is a real crime most...
