There are a huge number of pros to leaving the EU but those pros are more about our actual economy rather than the convenience of consumers. I'm pretty sure I've already listed a huge number in this thread so why people just play deaf and pretend to themselves there are no positives is actually...

Don't quite understand your point I've said all along we haven't competed in the EU well and the extra burden of tax and payments to the EU adds to the pain so how exactly is it utter nonsense when you are repeating my own viewpoint. The issue is how you deal with the situation, do you just stay...

Dare I say Brose motors are worse than Bosch, they have a history of destroying themselves and many Specialized owners complained about motor problems so Specialized extended the motor guarantee to 4 years because of the high level of complaints and faults. Maybe I've got the wrong end of the...

I don't really see those countries as primarily high tech manufacturing, Switzerland has a large banking sector and Norway is more oil and fishing and both are very rich and wanted to keep that wealth hence keeping out of the EU. If your family finances are basically relying on borrowing and...

Why is Singapore mentioned and Margaret Thatcher never transformed the country in a share owning democracy she decimated industry and sold off assets in order to balance the books. At that point she was still dealing with the horrifically poor deal Edward Heath had got us joining the EU which...

It's important to realise that the people of the UK ultimately damaged our economy causing huge debts. We imported a huge amount of products creating a huge trading deficit that led to huge debts because we failed to compete in the EU for various reasons. The issue is I guess that because the UK...

Yes that's exactly what I meant. Now traders in the UK can buy in bulk and compete with direct sellers outside the EU plus of course a lot more VAT comes into the treasury. I think a lot more taxation should be focused on goods it is a way to control imports especially the most damaging imports...

I thought there was going to be some sort of prepaid tax arrangement for the UK when buying from aliexpress, ebay etc from outside the UK. So that on the aliexpress site the UK price simply ups by 20% and the VAT is prepaid with no additional end costs from the consumer. I have no idea how long...

I don't know what chipset or sensor that camera is based on but the video looks comparable to many 4k cameras. The thing is many action cameras are based on the Allwinner V3 and V3S chipset. Many claim to have the V3 but in fact have the V3S. The V3S chipset does 720p at 60fps and 1080p at 30...

I thought I read that there maybe a free trade agreement with vietnam and depending on its specifics that could mean imports that are tariff free and maybe allow a reasonable amount of Chinese parts in that tariff free agreement i.e. 40% so ebikes could come in without tariffs and Vietnam is a...

Some budget action cameras are brilliant, they are based on a fantastic sensor and chipset. The older yi action camera has a great sensor and decent ambarella chipset. Awesome quality video with only the lack of stabilisation letting it down. It can produce higher quality images and video than...

The OV4689 sensor in that camera is only 4 megapixels so its impossible for that camera to be 4k which needs at least 8 megapixels to do 4k at 4:3, you might need 10 or 12 megapixels to do 16:9 4k and also even some 8 megapixel sensors can't do 4k as they can't generate the required bitrate of...

Gyro stabilisation is a good feature or what is called optical stabilisation on normal cameras I think but where as high end cameras have the optical sensor on a sort of tray like a compact disc laser that moves with the gyro sensor information I think on action cameras and cheaper digital...

The fake gyro stabilised Chinese action cameras are more like £25 or less. Normally the first gyro stabilised cameras kick in about £40 maybe with a novatek chipset, not sure and then the really top end stabilising cameras, gopro level of stabilisation kick in about £100 but I'm sure there are...

Image stabilisation can be useless on some low end cameras. When you turn the electronic image stabilisation on the picture just turns to rubbish. Lets say you choose 1080p 60fps with image stabilisation the cheaper cameras record a 1080p image but then stabilise using about a two thirds window...

Unless you can afford a high end model be careful at the lower end its a minefield of crap. Some are basically toys with terrible results and others for similar money can be very good. Try to get the best sensor and chipset in the action camera you can, these dictate the quality of the results...

I think Bosch motors are made in China anyway, it may be they have an assembly plant in Europe for European sales but when sold elsewhere in the world they are exported directly from China. It may have been a US forum or video that showed they are made in China. So it might end up with Bosch...

CST are good tyres, they own Maxxis and make many brand tyres for other companies like WTB tyres. CST and Kenda are the big manufacturing companies behind many brands you see. I do prefer Kenda myself though. Schwalbe uses a Korean company for their tyres which I think are typically made in...

As a heavy rider I know all about tyre pressures, if I ride a 700x28 road bike tyre the pressure that gives me a nice suspension effect will mean I'm down on the rims if I hit a pot hole with a puncture fairly likely. On 26" tyres like 26"x2.10" I can find a tyre pressure that not only gives a...

Sounds like it might make hitting potholes less jarring but I just hate them as they are a strength weakness and need maintenance over the years I prefer a solid fork that is maintenance free and rely on the tyres for suspension. Also most of a riders weight is at the back it's split something...
