    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The right wingers voted for Braverman (27), Badenoch (49) and Truss (64). They will need to get Truss 56 more votes to beat Mordaunt. I reckon Sunak's camp would rather face Mordaunt than Truss to avoid having the Mail on their back. So the logic is to lend some of their votes to Kemi Badenoch...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I doubt she (Truss) will do well in the TV debates tonight (Ch4) and over the weekend (ITV). She has an unattractive voice, is slow in comprehension and not good with spontaneous quips. The TV shows will confirm what we already know, Sunak will come through top, followed by Mordaunt and Badenoch.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we should mend the fences with our neighbours, the EU. Mordaunt is being attacked for being too soft on the EU. She said during the Hunt vs Johnson race that BJ was/is unfit for the PM job. He chucked her out of the MOD as soon as he was PM.

    do you think Lord David Frost and the Daily Mail will succeed in giving us Truss as PM?

    his Pa is a GP, his Ma was a pharmacist. Both have well paid jobs but it still must have been a tough sacrifice to pay for Rishi's private education. Most of his wealth though seems to come from his very rich wife (m. 2009) and connections with the in-laws family. From 2010, he worked as a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    as expected, Suella Braverman is now out of the race. Tugendhat will probably be out in round 3, most of his supporters would go to Sunak's camp. Kemi Badenoch will be out in round 4, most of her supporters will go to Truss or Mordaunt. One of them will face Sunak in the members vote. Both Truss...

    I still think the country is better off with Mordaunt than with Truss or Sunak.

    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.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    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.
