    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You have been reading the tabloids again! You know it will make you blind... I only have statistics for France where the majority of abuse is by French citizens.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Where is the EU failing? I can see the French government failing miserably in certain places, but the EU? You see it is the French govt who make the laws here, not the EU. I have been hearing this failure theory from the UK and US press ever since... hell ever since the UK joined the EU. In fact...

    Bikes sold without pedals. Is the illegal?

    Add to the list a white front reflector and orange wheel reflectors (or white, or reflective tyres depending on country law) and a bell. You are supposed to buy the pedals at the same time as an "extra". Big box stores and LBS here usually mount standard cheap pedals. If you want special/better...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The English tourists with money come here. They have been doing so since Queen Victoria. At last count 100% were remainers. They don't binge drink and don't run off to McDonalds for "food" and share my views on Benidorm. I feel less lonely in my opinion. I used to attend club meetings in an...

    Shimano 3 speed Itegno rear hub.

    This seems to be an older product no longer manufactured. It will also fit a 7 speed cassette with a spacer. I wish someone would make a 2 speed one - normal 1:1 ratio and a low gear ratio, that would be perfect for a 7 speed cassette giving 14 gears which is more than enough for a pedelec on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The English abroad are mostly found in little ghettos surrounded by other English. I don't think Brexit voters can afford foreign holidays outside of Benidorm (and other low budget locations) and that certainly isn't Spain any more... (missed flecc's post higher up)

    Inside The HWBS Sensor

    I have one mounted since my last series of modifications. As the motor now has little to no run-on with the external PAS I don't know if I need it or not... I also find the brake icon on the LCD distracting especially at night.

    President Trump

    White, racist and heavily armed ones are OK. They are short on those apparently. If you failed high school you have the talents they are looking for.

    What do you want to transport? Why a sidecar and not a trailer? This one is great looking http://www.cambariere.com/seccion-bicycle-sidecar-19.html You could build it from a cheap trailer like the ones flecc and I have.

    Battery charging

    You need an "intelligent" charger with charge logging to know how many mAh it puts into the battery. That number will include mAh that will be lost and never make it to the motor but the percentage of loss will be similar for different rides in similar conditions. The indications on the LCD...

    BBS01 programming - that doesn't fry the controller

    This one will climb anything: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/freewheels/sunrace-megarange-7-speed-freewheel-1334t/ You would probably be better changing for a cassette hub you can find 7 speed 11-34 cassettes.

    My eyes already are... There are more reasonable ones that "need some work" (tm) and also a bubble car at the bottom of the page... I would love a bubble car but £45 k is a bit rich... :eek:
