Nkon also sells nickel strips like those and 99.x pure.

There is a guy in the US who has a weird aerodynamic kit for bikes. Read his theory and he lost me... So no bookmark sorry. I agree with @Danidl about side winds being a problem on a bike that is why I am going bent... :cool: if you Google for pedelec and aerodynamics you may stumble upon a...

For the Tour you have to think of a mix of chess and football. The coaches are the chess masters placing their pawns as the situation evolves in real time. And it is a team sport, the top riders being the strikers all the others creating the situation for the final goal. There once was an...

The pound was devalued during the 28 hours I was in the plane from Auckland... :mad: and my money had been transferred to a BNZ account in London the day before :mad: My first lesson in travel: always convert your money to German Marks...

You are still in it for the moment Jerry so no duty from the EU. :)

3 mm 5 ply birch?

That was just the executive summary :) I am going to write an article soon on my boat building site where I will flesh that out a bit.

Today I had a chat with a young lad who has just started a pedelec taxi business here in town. He has one of those delta trike things weighing 130 kg powered by the Japanese mid motor (sun something?). Guess what brake he has on the front wheel? Magura hydraulic rim brake and he can't say...

Well actually... You are. Even when the wind is coming from behind you create your own headwind. A tail fairing is probably more efficient in reducing drag tucked down on aero bars you are about as aerodynamic as you can get. Sidewinds have a role on an upright bike too. Check out streamliner...

I have some marine ply in my bedroom all ready to be cut up into boat shaped bits :). This is the first time I have bought marine ply in about 10-12 years and I wouldn't put a battery on the 5 mm stuff I have now and trust it... :eek: I sourced both times from Leroy Merlin. Last boat's hull was...

And a large chunk of the revenu from gas and petrol was put away for a rainy day because they knew that one day it was going to end. Very intelligent the Norwegians! They are currently taxing the fossil fueled cars they have on the roads to death. Many Norwegians are moving to electric bikes to...

A lead acid battery is usually charged at max 0.1C so a 100 Ah battery could be charged at 10 Amps and a 40 Ah battery at 4 Amps and so on. 12.67 V isn't a healthy voltage for a diesel car...

You forgot Andorra and the Vatican... All of them former industrial and colonial powers with populations over 60 million... :rolleyes:

What gearing was on the bike? My second guess is factory controller programming is limiting power.

I might have to come and try UK hills someday I am perplexed...

Remember Schumacher! Don't put cameras and stuff on your sieve! Permanent brain damage is often the result of a bad crash. When it is hot, to protect my bald old head from the sun and insects I use this: It has the added advantage of creating airflow over aforementioned baldness with a...

You will also need chainring bolts. If you mount two chainrings you use the normal length ones and if you mount one chainring you need the short version. It works for me because my climbs are measured in kilometers <- plural. The short ones I can handle on the 42 ring, short being under 4 km...

I love your idea of messing up: 1. order wrong product 2. sell on ebay 3. profit!!!

b+m front light, quality beam, slides off and goes in pocket when not in use (can be used as a high powered torch). Rear light which slides in and out of permanently mounted holder. Yes these lights cost more but they also offer more value for money in my experience - 2+ years and still going...

That is 52€ with a 60% tariff, add in your 100% mark up 104€, two months pocket money for a poor student, 1 weeks pocket money for a well off one. Decathlon bikes start at 169€. Where is the problem with 60% anti-dumping duty? You are still at 66% of current EU prices for cheap city bikes. The...
