    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't believe in homeopathy but I am not at all bothered that some people believe in it. Just look at religions. Is there much difference? Both have their magic so diluted but people still believe. She only said that she will half the VAT and duty on fuel, increase the personal tax allowance...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Truss and Hunt are be-leavers, later day converted to brexit. Hunt being out of the race, threw his support to Sunak so perhaps he is not a real be-leaver. Braverman is on the way out later today or Monday, Truss is now becoming more brexiteer than most members of the ERG hoping to garner...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    none of those is a fault though. As for third time lucky, how would you rate Thatcher against Heath, May against Johnson? Mordaunt does not bend with the wind like Sunak or Truss.

    you never heard of her because she hasn't done or said much until now. She will probably keep her fourth place in the race. Penny Mordaunt is the most likely next PM unless her competitors unearth something damaging in the next 4 weeks. Mordaunt is a lot better than the rest.

    just ask around, and your colleagues at work. I am pretty sure that by the time one reaches the middle age, one has at least 5 old bikes languishing in one's shed. There is also gumtree. Budget about £200 for a good donor bike. There are also plenty of charities that give bikes away, free of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they'll blame Boris and Hancock for that. They have already denounced Sunak's economic record as chancellor, cancelled net zero plan, attacked green levy on energy bills etc.. so I expect there will be more to come. One thing though, I am a bit surprised that Hunt paired with McVey. Did he try...

    Pre-Purchase advice. (Help me making a major mistake) - About to buy it!!!

    battery is the most expensive component in any e-bike after a crank drive motor so it's not hard to see why cheaper e-bikes have a smaller battery capacity. Typically, if you ride a bike at 15mph in perfect weather condition (no headwind, no rain), the total energy required is 200W...

    Pre-Purchase advice. (Help me making a major mistake) - About to buy it!!!

    the short answer is no. You can't easily add anything to the bike unless you are very good with electronics. If you go with the Muddyfox, you should bring the charger with you or buy a second charger and recharge it at work for an hour or two.

    You mean the Faro (https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro) and the Camino (https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?camino)? Both can be fitted with suspension seat post if you are 5ft9+ for better comfort but only the FARO fits your budget requirement. I like your initial choice of the Muddyfox. It's uncomplicated...

    On ebay. They don't cost much. Just read the markings on the rings and order the same.

    the small gear that you circled in orange is held between two ballbearings. If you remove the blue gear and the noise is still there then remove also the small gear. You will then be able to confirm if the noise comes from the small gear. Replacing the two small ball bearings should then fix the...

    as you know, the blue gear is a one way needle roller bearing. If you turn the inner ring, it will turn freely one way and lock in the opposite direction. That's how it works. If you turn the cranks by hand, the small gear that you circled in orange in post #21 rotates but the needles inside the...

    when you turn the cranks by hand, the spindle in the middle of the blue gear mustn't rotate because the blue gear is disengaged. Can you confirm that it is the case? Your video is good but my eyesight is not.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zahawi: "I believe cutting taxes isn't a fairytale but rather a critical step to tackle the cost-of-living crisis." If that is also what the population at large believes in, then no wonder we have the same tory government again and again. Repeated tax cuts is what makes the rich richer, the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wonder if any of the candidates dares to mention the EU. Yet, that's a pretty low hanging fruit. We only have to mend the fences with the EU and we'll encourage much more foreign inward investment than cutting CT. Present bunch of candidates believe in fairies, foreigners keep pouring their...

    so he has pushy Asian parents and they succeeded. Every other candidate promises big and permanent tax cuts, especially CT, and from day one. What is the logic in that when inflation runs at 10%? I watched Sajid Javid and Hunt on BBC1 yesterday. There is hardly any difference between them on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the candidates will reveal what else we did not know. Already they all confirmed that the increase in national insurance was a mistake. Did BJ push for it? or others will blame Sunak for it?

    You get about 50% more miles out of the tsdz2 compared to the bbs01 because it makes you pedal.
