Not quite. AXA has a few different models between 13 and 40 euros, they're all over the Netherlands still in bike shops as well as B&Q equivalents like Gamma. The more expensive one like HR Traction is a world apart from the rubbish ones. They don't show up on new bikes anymore, so the new...

Normally the braze on has a slot instead of a bolt hole, to accommodate differences

The drag of a hub dynamo is tiny compared to even the best bottle, it's basically unnoticeable. They're less convenient in electrical terms though, as they're AC generators, the power has a frequency equal to the dynamo speed. A tiny bottle dyno roller spins ridiculously fast and gives steady...

But it's very fast in ludicrous mode* though! *ludicrous mode is when you turn off all the built in safety limiters and run the battery in an extremely damaging way that knocks years off the lifespan.

Have you actually seen an ebike in real life? They're usually quite well built proper bikes with mudguards, bags, chaincases, roller brakes and internal gear hubs. The only unique ebike bit that can actually wear out is the battery, which is again almost always a standard form factor (a...

Re: Government.

I liked the bit where Autopilot autopiloted someone off of a motorway and head first into a concrete wall and killed him, and then all the Musk sniffers came out of the woodwork to explain how actually you shouldn't expect something called autopilot to do what the word autopilot means and so...

Re: Re: It was explained to Musk at the time that it wouldn't work but he wouldn't go away. That's why the diver was blunt on TV. Musk's remarks weren't insults, he was very explicit that he was making a literal accusation of pedophilia. He confirmed this to a journalist. No he isn't. I cut...

Re: Nah it's pretty easy to tell when one side is lying, you just have to put all the available evidence in front of yourself and use logic. Our fantastic leaders haven't told the truth about anything. It's all been based off of whatever propaganda photos the terrorists can cobble together...

The US&UK don't need to orchestrate anything to set Syria up. The "moderate rebels" do it for them. It's a pattern repeated multiple times now, Syria regains control of a city, and to distract from the heroes welcome they receive from the citizens and the return of refugees to the place, the...

I've seen that kind of website before. It's a cheap kind of marketing, get some spotty teens to make a website that looks like it reviews bikes, but the "reviews" are all just badly written marketing fluff. You can spot it a mile off.

The former, especially considering Syria hasn't used them and doesn't have any. America knows that, of course, having been the ones Syria delivered them to for destruction four years ago. They were afraid that destroying those chemicals on land would've been too dangerous if anything happened...

Hi everyone I've got a ford. it's blue. where can I get a new engine.

Fork wont have problems but it will handle funny being front wheel drive, no idea where you'd put throttle on drop bars. Seen people in holland fall off when they've accidentally span the motor up mid way through a wet corner... If you don't mind losing your original cranks you can go for a mid...

Judging by the lugs, the decals and the seat stay bridge I'd guess mid-late 60s.
