The Rohloff is rated for 160 Nm on their site. May I recommend this chain? https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/wippermann-connex-1e8-e-bike-1-speed-chain-617325/wg_id-17951 I have a 7 speed one and it is very good indeed!

RED CARD! Juncker said: “It is a failure and a tragedy. I will be sad, as I was sad when the vote in the referendum took place in Britain. For me, it is a tragedy." I am not reading (for the EU) in that article! My opinion is that it is a failure for the EU and a tragedy for the UK...

That was one of my fears... Chasing down some grease and getting the motor back together this weekend.

In a vélomobile, cargo trike or bike and off road.

It spins freely but is a bit noisy.

My friend took his Decathlon front hub bike for a short ride in the rain. It developed a lot of noise which he tried to stop by filling the motor with WD40... :eek: At this stage I come into the picture. I did a short test ride and effectively the motor was much noisier than when I picked it up...

No.

If he was pedalling it would be a bike!

Having an e-bike lets you pedal really hard then, when you are tired, have a rest while continuing on your journey... :rolleyes:

I hope to bring the mxus out of temporary retirement this year and am going to feed it with 44.4 V 12S lipo through a 17 Amp controller which d8veh has said is about the maximum it will handle before thinking about oil cooling. This will bring me close to the mythical horse power or 750 W if you...

I can recommend the GSM. It rides differently than a hub, not better, not worse. You really need to be in the right gear to get the most out of it. You are right to choose the 15 Ah battery, the GSM loves eating Amps! :D Executive summary of what you need: - a brake sensor is mandatory, there...

Hydraulic rim brakes are much lighter than disks and work fine in the wet. I have one on the front and a cable rim brake on the rear and, touching wood, have been able to stop a few times when I really needed to. On the steel fork bike I could pop stoppies whenever I needed to impress a member...

This is my choice: http://www.sunrace.com/en/products/detail/csm680 Stronger 8 speed chain, enough gears to get the job done. With a double chainwheel - 50-38 or 48-38 depending on wheel size you have 16 gears for going anywhere you might want to go on an electric bike.

Modification to French helmet law if you are ever over here with your kids or grandkids: Wearing helmets is not compulsory for adults when cycling in France, but from March 22 2017, children under 12 years of age must wear a cycle helmet when cycling or being carried as a passenger. Our Spring...

Hmmm Bosch motors run on crack? :D Sorry couldn't resist...

Very good documentary last night on Arte about the EU. Confirmed what many of us have been saying through these pages: the UK has been employed by the USA (who encouraged the creation of the EU via the Marshall plan) to make sure that it didn't work too well, well enough for the Americans...

I can see the mistake I made... :oops: You have to plant your tomatoes in a greenhouse I thought you were only planting seeds in there to start them off... :oops: We plant out tomatoes outside in the garden because it is warm and sunny... :oops: Sorry!!! :D I like these. I am hoping to move...

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-organic-planting-pots-using-old-newspa/ I buy tomato plants not seeds. These are for cucumber (Spanish) and courgettes (zucchini if you must...).

Another advantage of a front suspension is they help braking too. The day you need to pull hard on the front anchor to stop in a hurry it helps a lot, I tried last week... :eek: Commuting you will always have cars slamming on the brakes in front of you at the most inconvenient times and without...
