    Anyone recommend a decent value low range torque wrench?

    I was comparing Halfords Advanced Model 60 with the Norbar equivalent which I think is Norbar part #13841, both being within the torque range in the OP, but could be wrong of course.

    MEPs have no executive power whatsoever so even if you did have an MEP to write to you'd be p1ssing into the wind.

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Wasn't sure my Halfords Professional torque wrench was working correctly 🤔 then when checked it realised that have had it since 2007 when it was calibrated! So rather than send it off to check calibration/be recalibrated, decided to buy Park Tool TW-6.2 which was reduced from £143 to £95 on...

    Anyone recommend a decent value low range torque wrench?

    Use Sealey Sts104 Torque Screwdriver Digital 0-20Nm 1/4In Hex Drive for 90% of work on our bikes. For higher torques use Park Tool TW-6.2 (such as for pedals and cranks).

    Those who expect stability in the midst of the current eBike motor "arms race" for market share had better wise up to the fact that it ain't gonna happen. Stability is the enemy of innovation.

    Brake pad contact area on new rotors

    Those pads are shit. As it says above, clean the rotors, fit new pads, then bed in properly.

    Upgrade Rise or Buy Kenevo SL or buy Transition Relay

    I agree with @Weeksy's implied point. When a bike is better than you, as most of our (upgraded) bikes are, then any further upgrades or bike changes will not improve our riding experience. (The need to add bling is another matter, of course. ;))
