Would the result of the brexit vote may have been different if Maitlis was right? the speed with which the BBC sought to pacify No10 Downing Street: Emily Maitlis is finally free to say what needed saying: the BBC has lost its nerve | Gaby Hinsliff | The Guardian

I'd like to go down stairs sometimes too, but I reckon you'd need good full air suspensions for that like Soundwave's bike. Mid range bikes have coil front suspension, OK for normal roads but not offroad. Maybe he'd sell his to you for much less than you would expect. I have a second hand Sunn...

yes, you can do that (use your legs at over 15mph) at anytime, like when going downhill. The motor has an internal clutch that eliminates 95%+ of drag or binding. Only the road illegal direct drive motor kits sold on the net have significant magnetic binding when pedalling without power. Not...

no, we are not saying that you should just forget about electrification because you want to derestrict your bike or bikes. The law as it stands let you have a fast electric bike if you so want, you have to wear a helmet, share the road with cars where you ride because you are not allowed on...

for commuting, you should consider a hub motor and puncture proof tyres. They require the least maintenance and likely have lower depreciation. If you want to derestrict your bike, then consider a conversion. For long distance, cadence sensor has the advantage over torque sensor because you can...

EDF would probably buy the scheme. I have smart meter in my house in France.

I have stopped selling the TS kit because the factory that made it has gone out of business. I still have spares for it but looking to the future, it may be best to revert it back to cadence sensing. @Nosweat: please email support@wooshbikes.co.uk - we'll try to find a solution for you.

when you want to borrow big, lenders want to be reassured that you'll pay them back so your reputation is your most precious guarantee. Give the BoE to Truss and/or Kwasi Kwarteng does not enhance the BoE's reputation. It's obvious to most people except when it's an inconvenient truth to her...

She will be Starmer's best bet to No 10.

the 'crumbling' you see on the circuit board is dirt and rust deposit where humidity attracts dirt and rust. You don't have to do anything to them because the board is varnished, thus protected against humidity. The surface of the solder will lose its initial shine but functionally, it won't be...

“cost of leaving crisis” - cost of EU workers leaving after we voted for brexit. 160,000 vacancies in social care, 110,000 in the NHS and a lot in agriculture. It could have been predicted but at the time but did not get much attention. Starmer may have to broach the subject eventually. To me...

On your chart, the blue plot (3m/s) seems surprisingly good. It causes little wear up to 125N compared to 0.8m/s and 0.2m/s. Then the wear goes above the other two as predicted. Do you have an explanation for that?

It's a snow bike, BB. They did not particularly try to save on weight, 27kgs. I made some snow bikes before, the frame has to be sturdy because the bike is made to ride in snow. The Woosh Warrior was OK for riders up to 125kgs. This is my snow bike, the frame is aluminium though: In any...

the less efficient the water companies look after our water, the more likely they can bump up the running cost. As they are remunerated a percentage of the running cost, they are not readily incentivised to be efficient. It's a perverse system that MT government set up in 1989.

yes, it rained solid for 4 hours this afternoon.

I thought about saving water, bought some rainwater butts a couple of weeks ago.

that's precisely their point. OFWAT does not want to set strong targets for fear of pushing up the price they charge customers or worse, force government to pay for the improvement.

I can't see that. There is a good article explaining the situation with water companies in the news today. Knee-jerk nationalisers have no idea how the water industry actually works - CapX Basically, OFWAT sets the target of water loss and pollution for water companies. The more money they...

That one has a steel frame, BB.

the biggest problem with replacing a broken rear spoke is access to the flange when it's behind the cassette. The z-bend would solve this.
