Putin does not care for the authority of the UN. He threatens everyone blocking his way with nuclear weapons. I think we should drop one on his house.

don't worry about if 250w will do it. All it is, you will go up more slowly compared to a more powerful motor. It's best to stay legal though, a) it's cheaper, b) it stresses less your bike and c) it's lighter.

that won't work. Post some pictures, people on here will help you with how to open the casing of your motor. The planetary gears don't need regreasing for about 3,000 miles. How many miles have you done?

the Pound and FTSE rose a bit before Truss & KK meet with the OBR but after the meeting, the OBR won't publish its forecast until 23-November. Predictable reaction: Pound and FTSE fell.

Truss and KK don't believe they need to count, they just got the BoE to print £65 billions for them to spend last Wednesday. No wonder they can't see how they can fail. You want growth? They'll print some more.

the pound will settle when we have demonstrated fiscal responsibility, no unfunded spending, especially on buying votes. our economy will slip behind Italy's and we'll be out of the G7 in a year or two.

I saw LT on TV this morning. Still defiant. Reaction of the market? the FTSE is falling very sharply. FTSE100 -2.24%, FTSE250 -2.53%, GBP/USD 1.07 The pension funds hold about £1 trillion of treasury bonds. They lost 30% of bonds value. At this rate, the 1922 commitee will have to change their...

I found once a battery with similar symptoms. It turned out that one of the cells had one of its welding spots undone.

we have dozens of them around Southend High Street, mostly deliveroos. After e-bikes, we have electric/hybrid cars (Toyotas) and motorbikes.

I saw/see far more Bosch bikes and large direct drive hub kits fitted to Carreras than e- Carreras with Suntour HESC.

I think bike4two made a good point: The block that has lower voltage than the rest may have a faulty cell, it will discharge faster that the other blocks. When the difference becomes large enough, the protection system in the BMS will shut down the output to prevent fire. On charging, the...

she will use the devalued Pound as the proof of growth, achieved purely on the back of inflation.

the BoE has hit the QE button. It is now the buyer of last resort for KK's Treasury bonds. On the news, the Pound fell 1.5%. My guess it will continue to fall. What will Liz Truss have to say at the next PMQ?

that's the effect of quantum entanglement. It's the same Labour party across time and space.

for many imported products from China, the underlying price is in RMB although the strike price is in US dollars. A year ago, the Yuan (RMB) was worth 16 US cents, now 14 cents, so it is affected like the Euro. The £ price of the bike components I buy now is about 8% more than what I paid back...

Putin knows that Russia has huge fossil energy resources and a surplus balance of payments. He knows that the entire Europe relies on his gas, he thought he could not possibly lose.

a lot will depend on Liz Truss. The mess we are in is caused by her wanting to deliver taxcuts way too soon. If she does a u-turn on her tax cuts, showing the world that her government is fiscally conservative (ironic isn't it, a conservative party whose policy for the economy is seen by most...

I wonder what Russia could be if it did not have Putin for dictator or if it was a member of the EU. Their young people would not have queued for days to cross to Finland, Georgia, Mongolia etc to avoid being sent to Ukraine.

I watched KS speech this afternoon and was impressed with the idea that if Labour wins the next GE, within a year, Labour would set up GB Energy to invest in renewables. It would be publicly owned. Brilliant idea.

he should change priority from growth to controlling inflation and help for British exporters. That's where the bulk of extra borrowing goes anyway. It was his stupid reaction to the market's rejection of his plan that caused our borrowing cost to double over the weekend. When you need to borrow...
