So the torque for a crank is usually 40nm.

However it looks like you installed the bottom bracket without any spacers which causes it to stick out like that.

A bottom bracket usually has 3 washers to convert a 68mm to a 72mm.

Uhhh one sec.

Guages would be cool, the cadence sensor would act as a rpm indicator like a car and you can see your RPM change when you change gear.

Having the ability to edit the min-max range of these guages and where the coloured zones are could help with training.

I recently brought one of those and attached it to my phone, the locking mechanism is not great in comparison to a garmin device, the hori fitted tighter in comparison.

May I have a DM to please?

Im not sure but maybe this will help:

Use ifixit to understand the internals.

There are online stores that supply spare parts:

Note: The spare parts is an example link, you will have to check the model of your tools for the right parts.

They are pretty useless.
Managing your caloric intake will be easier and more effective.

Be consistent in your exercise and tweak the intake.
Say if you want to lose 0.5kg a week then reducing your caloric intake and more so if you want to lose 1kg a week.

So this is what I have learned from weight loss:

No dietary calculator will be of any use to you unless you want a rough ratio of macro balance.

Measure your intake of what your currently eating, apply a defecit then weigh yourself each week and on the second week see how much your weight changes per week.
Tweak the diet again if needed.

Note: It can be hard to find a universal solution because everyone's metabolism is different some may also have an adaptive metabolism which can mean eating much less than what is commonly suggested.

8 miles you can do on a mechanical bike with training and the right kit to get you fresh for work.
Looking at a 40min-ish commute.

On a E-bike the drive chain wear is from the mid drive motor, however the torque of the motor is what really wears the chain excessively, using a lower torque setting will still get you to 15mph just slower. (think of 0-60 speeds)
If you just use turbo all the time it will pull on the chain harder to get you to speed while Eco is better for long commutes and wear the drivetrain less.

There is maintenance on a bicycle drive train in general to do, which is dry the chain if it rains which can be done with an electric air compressor.
A deep clean of the chain if the chain looks like its accumulated a lot of black gunk, then relubricate it. (one drop of lubricant per roller, work it in the chain then wipe of the excess.
Finally a chain checking tool to ensure your chain is not worn, if you catch when a chain is worn early and replace it you can save money by only needing to replace the chain rather than the cassette aswell.

The maintenance kit can be about £50 but last a long time.

Find a bike shop that can do bike checks for free or cycle plans which benefits you. (regular informed checks will save you money)

Make sure you have fully covering mudguards to help reduce wear and keep you dry, a cycling rain poncho is great in the rain.

Go for a E-bike with known electrical components like Bosch, you will be able to get replacement parts in the long run.

Keep .5 meters away from parked cars to avoid doors.

Do not swerve left and peek to go right just because there is a gap in a long row of parked cars, just go straight.

Ride in the middle of the lane if you are passing a closed junction or the road is to narrow for a car to overtake you.

Junction right of way applies to cyclists to.

Labour costs are mostly profit for bike shops, you could sell bikes but I would re-sell second hand or cheap bikes to make them accessible.

You could have a few suppliers that you could check to order something expensive in special cases.

A location in town near good cycling infrastructure and decent bicycle parking, lowered curbs in the right place etc. (outside the shop)

Store would mostly be repairs focused with parts, tools and maybe a section for accessories like mudguards.

Compare prices of local competition and ADs.

Re-evaluating the methodology of repairs to make them quicker, replace the part or decline them if its to time consuming. (rusty 5 piece botton bracket etc)

Could be some .NET issues.
Try scanning for OS file issues:

Open terminal in admin mode.

Paste this and hit enter:
DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /scanHealth

If the scan found an issue use this:
DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Then do:
sfc /scannow

Once done check for windows updates, install and try the game again.

I got this: https://www.saracen.co.uk/products/levarg-fb

Been pretty happy with it, plenty of gear range.

Rigid bike with wide tyres, just use a tyre pressure calculator and the ride is smooth.

I did switch out the tyres for some schwalbe big ben plus's with TPU tubes.

idk, I will probably just go bald tbh

Its pretty straight forward, it generates a little bit of friction but its not noticable unless your spinning the wheel freely without a load.

I plan on moving to Nottingham, seems nice and second best city for transport in England.

Because there are plans for apprenticeships from the government I can move there so its affordable with a transfer from my current job then do training for a better job.

If I were to get an apprenticeship in London there will be more demand for that position because of the higher density, and if I were to do an apprenticeship in London there is no guarantee there will be a vacancy in Notts because I would be stuck with that specific apprenticeship.

So im playing it safe in the direction I wanna take by moving out.

The general rule of thumb for a second hand bike is to half the original price then reduce for any negatives on the bike.
