    Back ache

    I regularly cross a cattle grid. I find that standing on the pedals is the answer, because the knees take all the shock.

    Electric Hat

    As far as I can see, if that hat takes in air at the front and expels it at the back like a jet engine, you cannot legally wear it when riding an ebike because you will then have two electric motors and exceed the 250watt limit.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I am not too sure that that particular case would be binding on higher courts. It may yet be that the CPS will appeal the ruling.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Has anybody in NI obtained a proper legal opinion? The Police etc. can only advise as to what they think that the law is. What was the government situation when the electrically assisted pedal cycle regulations 1983 were made? Did the NI government if it existed then, enact parallel regulations...

    Grease for a Bosch CX Motor

    Pity that he did not quote the torque tightening figures for the lock ring and crank. To me he hardly tightened them at all.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I think that the politics behind this is that the National Government are mightily p..........off with the NI government politicians. The SoS had to intervene directly when the finances threatened to come to a halt, but politically, the Westminster governments best option is to let NI stew in...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Mt guess is that your letter was understood. Their reply is that they are not going to do anything about it. Any news on if a government is likely to be formed?

    Anyone tried these puncture proof tyres ?

    The web site is rather vague about removing the tyre to fit new spokes and recommends taking it to a dealer. WHY?

    Does sound as though the cold might be affecting it. Can you get the bike in somewhere warm and test it then?

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    Just a plea. Can we refrain from using initials instead of words. I find it tedious to have to do a google search WAUT (Whenever anybody uses them) Frankly, I find it all a bit pretentious.

    Park Tool CM5.2 Cyclone Chain Scrubber

    Looking at other forums including motor cycle ones, it appears that the thick black grease coats the inside of the dishwasher and takes months to clear.

    Shaft drive Ebikes?

    I don't know why people find bike chains so offensive and want to replace them with carbon belts or shafts. Mine might be greasy, but I keep my legs away from it. Never had a problem. Mass production of chains means that they are cheap. Belt drives need frames that open=extra cost. Shafts will...

    Are lithium pencil batteries overpriced and overhyped?

    Horses for courses I guess. I have a Marine VHF hand set. It came with rechargeable NiMh. Over the years this battery degraded and I discovered that I could replace it with 6 AA cells. These 6 AA cells will last non stop over a weekend, and more importantly I can carry 6 spares in my pocket...

    Bear in mind that a crossbar bike with a child seat behind the saddle is almost impossible to get on.
