    Leaving the EU

    I think the remainers are going to get it, possibly 52/48 in England. this is the analysis from a recent YouGov poll of 22,000 Britons. No surprise there.

    Leaving the EU

    that would be Boris. He has always been a shrewd operator, he'll negociate to get us back in one way or another. Exports to the EU would be the same as selling to Norway or Switzerland or the Channel Islands at the moment. The thing is though, back in 1975, we were the sick man of Europe and...

    Leaving the EU

    6 months: probably not much other than the banks speculating against the Pound but two years in, the biggest problem for firms is unfair competition, the most affected will be our farmers and our fishermen. For individuals, the biggest problem is the drop in the value of the Pound.

    Leaving the EU

    this country won't be at peace with itself until Brexit happens. Presented with either membership of the EEA or the EU, the choice will be easy. Our government (presumably lead by Boris) will ask the EU for more time if necessary to get back in.

    Leaving the EU

    you said it yourself, the EU want/need to be big. I am sure they'll negociate. Any way, article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty will let them extend the two years period. I always thought that it does not matter which party has the majority in the House, our government is not daft enough to leave the...

    Leaving the EU

    I quite like that idea actually. There is not much risk. If the Pound gets trashed, our export and living cost will rise, reducing the current budget deficit and perhaps more people can see that we actually don't control much in this brave new world.

    Leaving the EU

    that why I think it may back fire on him. The bookies are rarely wrong, Leave was 2/1 yesterday and 9/4 after Cameron appeared on A.M. program. A lot of journos under-estimate the debating skills of Cameron and over-estimate the mass appeal of Boris. the funny bit is Boris says he loves...

    Leaving the EU

    that may backfire on him. The reality is that the majority of Tory's MPs are on Cameron's side and nobody likes a traitor.

    Is £800 enough money to spend on an everyday ride to work bike.

    Donor bikes - what to look for?

    A powerful DD motor adds too much weight, a powerful front geared hub may slip, a powerful rear geared hub may break spokes. For tackling hills, I'd go for a crank drive every time, may be with a gear sensor fitted though.

    Repair motor hall sensor

    the balls inside the bearings always suffer from a bit of wear. When you re-assembled the motor, the outer ring of bearings may have moved a little, the balls inside don't run as smoothly as before.
