    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is not true, or at least only partly true. A soldier in the UK armed forces who is under the age of 18 will not be exposed to hostilities and therefore will not make any life or death decisions about anyone (apart I suppose potentially for him or herself)

    I may never bother to pedal again ;-)

    Retirement is hard going, today I had to decide between fish and chips or steak pudding and chips. Decisions decisions decisions ......

    How to become as punctureproof as possible.

    Yep, I should’ve mentioned that in my earlier post, I’ve always put slime in normal tubes. I reckon the front tube in my current mtb is at least 8 years old.

    Which UK couriers will ship a battery?

    I had to return a battery to Amazon (camera batt) as it was faulty. Even Amazon couldn't find a courier that would pick up a defective battery. They gave in and just refunded me, instructed me to either keep it or take it to a recycle centre.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I agree, I would also be very concerned about that, its worded around simplifying the registration process, not removing it!

    How to become as punctureproof as possible.

    Everyone has their own views based on their experience and sometimes hearsay, Ive been using slime in my bicycle tyres for years, no longer do I have to fix our bike tyres when we are out. Here in rural Wales hedge cutters shred the Hawthorne etc and blow it back into the hedge, I'm sure this...

    My second electric bike

    Welcome from windy North Wales :-) Quite new here myself but it seems like a friendly place so far. Sorry to hear about the bike getting stolen, it’s always a nuisance even if it’s a small loss but nice to know it didn’t put you off.

    Need help with my e bike

    It’s been quite an interesting one so far. If someone said to me measure the voltage when you apply some load... it’s so obvious it requires no further explanation. But then the op comes back and gives a reading and it makes little sense, so then we question how did you apply the load. “I sat...

    Expected lifetime of a BBS02

    Well there we go, as I said I haven’t had one to bits so so it was all conjecture anyway :-) Does the BBSO1 have some method of breathing through a different route rather than past those seals?

    Need help with my e bike

    That certainly sounds very plausible to me, it will be interesting to see what the individual cells measure like

    Expected lifetime of a BBS02

    Well I’m sure you know that Gore-Tex would only let vapour through and soon becomes waterlogged, any breather needs to be above the water line. The concept of a breather venting into the bike frame I’m sure would stop the potential problem of dragging grease/dirt/water through crank seals and...

    Expected lifetime of a BBS02

    Just a thought / ramble but: When we try to seal / waterproof a motor or gearbox it’s worth thinking about how it breathes, we get them warm by using them and then spray cold water or even potentially dump them under water. When they warm up the air inside expands and is shoved out through any...

    Guy on Facebook said Police took a ride on his bike ?

    I suspect he used to handle a land shark ;-)

    I may never bother to pedal again ;-)

    It’s part of my sponsorship deal that I have with Walls ice cream :-) Apparently a fat old bloke on a bike hits their market sector.

    I may never bother to pedal again ;-)

    I’m not sure that people realise the self-sacrifice that we have to go to to find the raw materials needed…… A whole pack!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    4g long term evolution and 5g do move apart fairly quickly, anyway I’m happy now riding my bike and taking pictures:-)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I’m retired from that business and have no interest any longer. From the little I have gleaned the others are no where near ready to (xxxx) so if the desire is pace then there it goes. I did smile when it was suggested that some security concerns were to be mitigated by not placing the...

    I did wonder the same, 85 posts to get some voltage readings but there we go.
