    Workplace pensions,would you be in?

    I used to have a good pension. I still have some of it but they cut thr remainder. So when I'm 60 I could get £10k which is nice but not as nice as 15k which I was expecting. I can survive on both but the extra makes a lot of difference to my daughters school funds. It's tough of those who...

    Workplace pensions,would you be in?

    Phill My scheme has changed like yours to 60ths . But they cannot take what you've paid in already away. Just change what happens in the future. I was going to retire at 63 with 2/3 pension. Now I have to wait until 67 to get slightly less as 'it's fairer?' But I keep my old pension and can get...

    Decent mountain bike frame for front hub motor.

    If you find a hub geared bike then crank drive is an option. One of the things about slow charge rate is it reduces the stress on the batteries so they last longer.

    Upgrading from Giant Twist Esprit Power

    Or save a lot of money and get a hub geared rear wheel and keep using your Giant. It's still good with years of life and for the flat there's no significant improvement in performance with a new bike.

    Another BBS01 conversion...

    I like it. It looks neat and tidy. The weight is good too. With disk brake it would be cracking.

    Radkutsche Cargo Bikes

    Who on earth thinks Salisbury plain is flat? It's a fissured plateau. Great for tanks and playing war.

    I must be jealous with a whole bag of chips. I think he's a king Canute. A real grade A one. But then I do think outside the box ( possibly off the wall too)

    Potential bargain for someone after a runaround to the shops

    There are very different grades/types of SLA but running them down low is a life shortening experience for them. Lithium tends to have most of its AH avalable without significant affect on its lifespan but SLA can easily develop a number of life limiting changes even after one deep discharge...

    Potential bargain for someone after a runaround to the shops

    If you keep it topped up and never use more than 50% years. Run it flat a couple of times and it could die !
