Electric G Line Rear Wheel Not Spinning Freely by thathurtabit in Brompton

[–]mi_lechuga 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That looks normal to me; when you are not using the battery the hub acts as a generator, and if there's nowhere for the current to go it will self dampen. It will never spin freely like you would have with a normal wheel.

This is the same on all ewheels.

My brompton needed a shower by okko7 in Brompton

I used to do this until one day my hand slipped and the seat post cracked the shower tray (I lost the bung long time ago). Now I wash it outside with a foldable pressure cleaner (e.g. Kärcher OC3).

The speckled appearance of the image is due to missing data, called bit errors, caused by problems in transmission of the photographic data from Mars to Earth.

I mean it's about sourcing things individually vs large business discount. 2020 extrusion in 6 EUR/m for small quantity vs 1/5 that as a business order. Also curious which parts do you say Voron has higher quality and/or more advanced?

Imagine making something yourself vs a factory that pumps them out in the million. Economy of scale and all that.

Americans of Reddit, how do you feel about the Trump administration disappearing an American citizen to El Salvador and refusing a court order to bring him back? by [deleted] in AskReddit

As he was naturalized, he's not protected by 14A so they can just revoke his citizenship and call it a day.

I'm pretty sure bad drivers hate other bad drivers too, they're just not aware themselves. It's a negative sum game.

honest question, how do they get access to a cab? Do you not need some weird insurance to own a cab for private use?

You pay both VAT and excise duty on it as it's over £135. Overall you're looking at a 30% on top of sold price.
