Yes, that's very true - they also sell outside AliExpress D2C on their own sites. It tends to work out cheaper with the various AliExpress deals you can stack together to buy from there though.

Amazon is just not a good place to go, you're going to be buying something very low cost that someone is drop-shipping as a way to maximise their profit, not provide a good product. You need to know the brands to buy (Trace Velo, Peak

Except the brands I'm talking about sell directly - the stuff you're buying on Amazon is the cheapest drop shipped products on Ali marked up ridiculously to extract the maximum profit.

Not entirely. For cycling there are now a group of trusted companies that many people purchase from - WinSpace, Magene, iGPSport, that stand behind their products. I have a Magene p505 crank-based power meter - £250 delivered. It's as

Which can easily be sorted with a more gentle throttle curve. My EV has three modes - Eco, Normal and Sport. In Sport you get shoved back in your seat from the instant torque, and the fast 0-60 times. In Eco you take off like in a normal ca

But the fact that EV brakes don't wear at nearly the same rate as ICE brakes still stands. My EV6 (pretty heavy car) manual explicitly says "you should probably do some hard breaking from moderate speed to prevent corrosion on the

This appears to be the main difference between the EU and the US. In the EU you need to prove your thing won't be harmful before you launch it. In the US you launch it, but then if it's proven to be harmful it might get banned.

You would be correct. It needs enough to open the contactors which allows the high voltage battery to send power via the inverter to charge the 12V My Lithium Ion jump pack is tiny, about the size of two iphones stacked on top of each other

To be fair lead pipes aren't good, but the other uses in the Roman Empire were probably the cause of far more of the issues. Especially with hard water (of which the water in Rome is VERY hard[1] today, and if similar sources are used,

The signatories to the GFA include the US as well - if you want to rip up the GFA to install a hard border you have to own the second order effects of that. Or decide that Brexit was never going to work the way those who peddled it said it

Isn't it the case that countries that don't fluoridate only do so because their water sources already contain beneficial amounts?

It is not the "policy of this country" you need to actually read how things work, what bodies have what power, and who is doing what. The sentencing council is an independant body, they are not the government, and the government h
