    Battery Fires

    No. You would be literally making a bomb. The more you try to contain gasses the bigger explosion you will get. Smoke is toxic and flammable. Chimney won't remove all of it , but it is better than nothing.

    Bosch cx vs Bosch sx.

    You don't need eMTB to ride on roads. At your age I will prioritize power (as mentioned above) and comfort (step through frame and relaxed up right riding position, good saddle and good suspension). Till end of my days I will avoid proprietary systems like plague, so no Bosch motors for me...

    Sounds like an uphill battle. It is so much easier to outflank problem and buy simple system with black and red cables. Gouach claim limited success in this field: https://www.gouach.com/ They say their batteries are compatible with Bosch, Yamaha, Brose ETC

    Battery Fires

    Looks great. If you want to treat your battery, put it in sealed plastic bag with some moisture absorbent. ...and don't be overly concerned. Battery fires panic in media are spread by petrol lobby. Having that said, it is better to be safe than sorry.

    Battery Fires

    It is a huge amount of toxic and flammable smoke which is the problem, not the fire itself. That is why I think stove is a good idea as smoke would be directed outside your house. Traditional extinguishers are ineffective against battery fire.

    Battery Fires

    Keeping battery in stove does make sense. £4.50 filing cabinet is useless. Why would you need ammo box in stove?

    Help! Fitting TSDZ2 on a bike with internal cables and hoses

    I have three bikes with internal cables and nothing is rattling. No shorts either (we are talking about brake and derailer cables)

    Help! Fitting TSDZ2 on a bike with internal cables and hoses

    Absolutely. I see it not as a destruction of an old bike, but as a creation of a new one. Regardless if you reroute cables or not, you might need to dremel frame anyway. I had to file frame, file bit of a motor (to improve chainline) and... open motor to install it. It was a lot of work, but at...

    Battery Fires

    I don't quite understand logic behind this decision. Between November 15 and April 15 there is a risk of fire and between April 16 and November 14 there is no risk of fire? :confused:

    More Seizures

    So when you come back to the place where you left your bike and find only pieces of your D-lock, there is a good chance your bike was stolen by police?
