What is this "facebook" thing you want me to join? Isn't it an american advertising agency that tracks people and sells their data to the NSA to boot? Although tongue in cheek it is about as close to reality as anything else I have read (thanks to trex's link).

Africans are much better at survival, they have been at it for a very long time. The industrial revolution destroyed the survival instinct in northern Europe. I wasn't talking about myself, I have always been mobile and reasonably well educated. I was talking mostly about the workers of the...

I have been watching for years as France's industrial jobs have been shipped off to other shores leaving the workers high and dry. Most can't take up other employment because: 1. there aren't any other jobs in the area 2. they haven't been trained/educated to be able to do anything else So...

Hallelujah! But isn't that true about all institutions? Any institution is best reformed from the interior. No, electing UKIP/FN/what have you to perform obstruction is not going to speed reform. Constructive intelligent ideas presented by progressive MEPs will get a better hearing, the greens...

You just have the chain to move out of the way as well as undoing the torque arms.

For a crank drive/mid motor 28"/700C wheel bike on hilly terrain a 42 tooth chainwheel is proving to be the best choice. I have a natural cadence of between 60 and 80 and am quite strong (for my age) and yet managed to find a slope where the original 46 tooth chainwheel was too big and stalled...

Standard 36 V 26" wheel Mxus kit from ciclotek, Spain.

I wish I could buy one... After the announcement of the BlueTooth controller months and months ago has anybody ever seen one in the flesh? Tonight I will be opening my first Bafang to see why it is making lots of noise on a friends bike. I wish I could open my Mxus to grease a little but the...

We need an executive summary, these questions and confusions keep coming around: - If it is stamped 250 W it is a 250 W motor - the controller max Amps times the battery max voltage (A x V = W) gives the peak Watts your 250 W motor is capable of (ex. my GSM external controller motor - 15.19 A x...

It is 400 g lighter (in theory) and we all know the price of weight savings: https://roadcyclinguk.com/gear/eight-of-the-lightest-road-bikes-for-2016.html#ji35VLmkbAeqIfdR.97 AX Lightness Vial Evo Ultra at 15 K € for example so what is 1500 €...

We don't read the same newspapers obviously... There are three countries in the south which until quite recently were run by dictators and where corruption and tax evasion are ways of life, Italy also gave the world the Cosa Nostra... Add in if you wish Ireland which is the multinational...

In the US you can get a criminal record for a broken headlight on your car or doing 2 mph over the limit. Especially if you are black or Mexican. That also prevents the ones who are there legally from voting and it helps fill the privately run prisons. Back in the day Great Britain used to send...

My problem is that you have always been outside the EU, just pretending to be in while all the time engaging in sabotage of the institution and its currency.

Google "the Basque Country"... ;) Dunedin, New Zealand theoretically has the worlds steepest street https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_Street but I think that is because the Basque Mayors don't read the Guinness Book of Records... :rolleyes: The last one we found we could hardly walk down.

Mine is vertical so water should run out the end. Sun id back out so photos are on the agenda here too.

2556.98€ could buy you a HP Velotechnik Gekko and a GSM mid-drive. Add a 48 V battery and a 17 Amp controller and you would have a real road rocket! Tyres will be toast and the battery will be an old style SLA that probably hasn't been filled with distilled water so it could actually be OK. If...

Nice spot D8ve! Looks very promising indeed.

It is always the dog owners fault. Especially if they voted Trump, Brexit...
