    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zlatan, your right to hold opinion is something I cherish. Your right to talk nonsense is something else! Have you ever heard the expression, 'Sometimes it's better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and prove it.'? It seems to me you don't understand such...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Having read and re-read your post #7141 Zlatan, I'm bound to say it's a shame you didn't join in this discussion 7,000 posts ago - you might have learned something! What you have written is nothing but shameful, bigoted nonsense. Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    With respect Zlatan, I really think you need to take a step back and re-consider what the EU is all about. I say that because in your concluding statement, were the various sovereign nations to follow your advice, there would be no EU at all as we know it. It is precisely because the two...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As Christmas approaches, our humanity should cause us to remember those not so well off, those in pain, those without a roof over their head and any others for whom we might feel sympathy......even Brexidiots! Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My heart bleeds! Of course, were he not the commander-in-chief of a motley crew of right-wing extremists and assorted nutters, one of whom committed the vicious murder of Jo Cox MP, perhaps we would not now be suffering this climate of fear he created by his rabble-rousing speeches, inciting...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zlatan, some will find it rather bizarre, as I do, that you have continued to post to this thread. A quick look back reveals that you have posted 12 times to the forum, 7 of those to this thread. Given your criticism of the nature of the thread plus the fact that no-one has twisted your arm...

    I can't remember too well but weren't the 7-prefixed models the step-throughs and the 9s the crossbar ones? Tom

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Daily Mail reader? Regardless of where you receive your news, I don't know if any of you have ever read the works of Robert Tressell, an Irish chap who only lived to the age of 40 but he was another who showed great understanding of politics and how the class system operates, as in this piece...

    I do like some of Frankie Boyle's stuff as he shows a great insight into politics generally, as in this: Tom

    Care to list all the counts on which OG is wrong? Also, are you absolutely sure that we're going to leave....or is that simply a wish or a hope? Tom

    Best Rear Hub Drive

    Andy, you will only need a throttle if you have such a serious disability that pedalling is physically demanding in the extreme. If you are only heavy and very unfit, (like many members here), you will manage perfectly well on any decent legal EAPC. If, on occasions, you become so knackered...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You got that absolutely right 'derf'. The Brexidiots have reduced the value of the British currency enormously and even after a tory chancellor has spelled out to them exactly what the future holds, they still cannot grasp the enormity of their stupidity. That is clear to anyone reading the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In case no-one noticed, the fascist-supporting rag owned by Viscount Rothermere failed to headline the judicial conclusion to the trial of the lunatic nazi and Brexidiot, Thomas Mair. Such a brutal murder is of nothing in the eyes of the Rothermere family and their connections in the tory...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ever wondered who bankrolls Farage and the extreme right-wing fascists in the UK? If you have never contributed to the fundraising efforts of these nasty people, then how do they survive? Well, from what I can gather, there are several funding sources available to both right-wing fascist...

    250 watt is it a myth?

    It's debatable Andy, which model of derailleur is best but I know many bikes, both manually-powered and electric, make do with gearsets from the lower reaches of Shimano's range and present few problems. Frankly, you probably wouldn't gain a great deal by ignoring the budget end in favour of...

    250 watt is it a myth?

    Ditto that. I need to pedal but not in an exhausting way. Very little effort allows me to just pootle along if I have been working hard and just want to take it easy for a bit. That's thanks to the Xion motor and its excellent controller. Tom

    Punctures !!!!

    There are various routes to reducing your tyre vulnerability from punctures. My choice is the same as that to which Trex has drawn attention. Other methods tend to be messy and/or less reliable than their manufacturers' claims. Tom
