Absolutely right. The motor allows the rider to pull away or accelerate in a much higher gear than would normally be possible with an unpowered bike. This means that the spacing between gears can be coarse, you don't need all of the fine steps between the lowest and the highest gear available...

I agree. I don’t know why it is but our MPs & ministers look, act and sound like fools. That’s true for all political parties. When I see many foreign leaders on TV, they always strike me as being more statesman like and portray leadership. A total contrast to here. Joking apart the state of our...

This woman immeasurably incompetent. She has failed in every office she has held and only became PM as a result of extraordinary circumstances. She is incapable of listening and taking advice and as a consequence, poses a serious threat to the people who live in this country. She has totally...

Why are you buying 2 to 3 chains per year? What do you do to them? I ride about 3000 miles per year on my bike and get a minimum of 2 years out of a chain. Just put plenty of grease on it and ride until the teeth start falling off the sprockets. Then replace the whole lot for about £20. KMC...

I see that it has been suggested that The Conservative Party have links to “The Internet Giants.” The parent company to Cambridge Analytica was run by the Chairman of Oxford Conservative Association. In addition to this, the founding chairman of Cambridge Analytica was a Conservative MP and has...

The twat has compared the forthcoming World Cup to Hitler’s 1936 Olympic Games. We’d better get The City of Lincoln serviced and Just Jane airworthy ready for some heavily moustached, pipe smoking gentlemen to deliver buckets of sunshine to Moscow.

Interesting. Does the front cylindrical portion adjacent to the motor form the bottom bracket by fitting into the housing on a standard frame? If not, I'm guessing this is only available to manufacturers to use in specially built bikes. A neat unit though.

1) Throw away Park Tool chain cleaning device. 2) Remove chain from bike. 3) Soak chain in a bath of your favourite cleaner. 4) Dry chain & re lubricate. 5) Fit chain back onto bike. Not sure if this one is, but these things are re-usable...

I’d forgotten about pi$$ed ant. He’s providing a welcome support act to the main event.

Looks like I got it wrong. It’s the turn of The Internet Giants to provide covering fire.

I prefer satellite reception, I find the signal is much more reliable than Vince Cable.

I can feel another "Russian Poisoning" scandal coming on to deflect attention away from this protest. The Salisbury one sort of worked and it did assist in burying the fact that May has managed to negotiate a new worse deal with the EU than the one we already have. However, I'm not sure the same...

I think just over 1% of our total gas consumption comes from Russia. I don’t know how much come via pipelines that Russia can exert control over. That figure may be higher. I’ve never liked the UK’s ever increasing reliance on gas for electricity generation. That seems a waste of a high grade...

I don’t think much gas which originates in Russia comes here. We mainly buy liquified gas from them, but the % is small. We need to remobilise King Arthur’s army of colliers and not rely on imports.

1) The illusion of strength and stability. 2) A distraction. 3) A golden opportunity.

I use Kodak Extra Life from Poundland. £1 for 5 I think, last time I bought some. They seem to work well in clocks, computer keyboard, torches, remote controls etc. From these tests (see link) VARTA seem the best by a smallish margin. Screwfix sell those I believe. Current drain can shake the...

Instead of facts emerging and clarity beginning to dawn, the picture is becoming less clear as time passes. The latest revelation that the poison was planted whilst his daughter was in Russia opens up many more possibilities, potential suspects and throws into question who the intended victim...

All fair comments.

I take your point Zlatan, but we must be very careful to only point accusing fingers at other nations when we are certain of the facts. You must agree that very little in the way of evidence has been forthcoming. Basically, an attempted murder has taken place on two people who we suspect could...
