    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ermmm? your point here is??? You`re again starting to come across as rather bitter towards anything positive up North?!! This is a fantastic deal for ALL the citizens here. But you`re over the border in the EU there so keep up those payments for your roads, toll booths at every corner, the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Meet the New U.K. Government! Well done DUP!! A generous financial package for all, Corbyn's path into Downing Street blocked by Arlene Foster. His IRA friends blew up her school bus & shot her father. Justice!!.

    Came with new Shimano 160mm rotor. What are they for and where do they go?

    Strange, as there`s blue Loctite on the threads anyway

    Yes, spacers, i had to use a couple of small washers to clear the lip of the disc against the back of the caliper, spin the wheel and you`ll see if you need them

    IGH gears vs. derailleur

    and even less imo, with the Alfine 8 i`m always double-clicking up the gears to save time, there`s enough torque to go with 4 - 5 gears

    Most powerful eBike for long uphill journeys?

    Are you sure the hill is 20% and you haven`t misread the map? You`d be very unlucky if it is and goes on for 3/4 mile. However it is doable and if all else fails the Bafang BBS mid-drive will deal with that no problems, you can use throttle only or just turn the pedals, you don`t have to exert...

    IGH gears vs. derailleur

    How so d8? I changed from a 7-speed 11-34 Shimano MegaRange to an Alfine 8 I can now at a junction or emergency stop quickly move from 1 to 8 in a matter of seconds and away we go - never with a derailleur. Chain line, Chain drops? Never with the Alfine, it`s straight. Gear changes up, same as...

    IGH gears vs. derailleur

    Alfine 8 here with BBS02 750w, and that's more torque than the Bosch motors throw out. It`s all in the gearing.... keep it spinning, don`t ever let it bog down.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Alls not well in Downing street....lol! A senior DUP source said the party could not be "taken for granted" - adding that if the PM could not reach a deal, "what does that mean for bigger negotiations she is involved in?" No deal has been reached after 10 days of talks between the parties...
