    If the vendor does not pay those taxes as part of the process, the responsibility of filing import declaration and paying VAT will ultimately be of the recipient in case customs & excise takes an interest. The courier will normally hold on to the goods until import taxes are paid. From tomorrow...

    this is a bit of conspiracy theory for you: QUOTE from that paper: "To engineer and create a human-targeting coronavirus, they would have to pick a bat coronavirus as the template/backbone. This can be conveniently done because many research labs have been actively collecting bat coronaviruses...

"As a coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 differs significantly from other respiratory and/or zoonotic viruses: it attacks multiple organs; it is capable of undergoing a long period of asymptomatic infection; it...

    Are "Axle Release" levers safe to use on hub motor wheels?

    I should have said that we stopped putting the front BPM kit on the online shop for about a year now. I still have about 20 front BPM kits but no stock of rack batteries that normally is recommended for tandems with front BPM. Some older tandems don't have cassettes so the front BPM is a good...

    Covid may be linked to lethal blood clots. That seems to be significant.

    Are "Axle Release" levers safe to use on hub motor wheels?

    I generally prefers the rear hub motors for better traction and stealth. For front hubs, I only supply the lightweight XF07 front hub kits.

    covid is just a name, call it a hoax if you like. the real cause of the pandemic is a new corona virus. I suspect that new virus is man-made. common cold, flu and covid are all corona viruses but only covid give more than a million of us long term damage and such a high death count.

    it was lucky that the delta variant wasn't big back in last winter when most people were given the second jab 12 weeks after the first. Now it's clear that two jabs give twice the protection.

    Are "Axle Release" levers safe to use on hub motor wheels?

    you should be OK. most of your weight will be on the rear wheel, you'll lose traction before breaking the fork's jaws.

    Is this a silly theory? Torque arms and rear suspension...

    standard chainline is 47.5mm. the chainline on Bafang BBS kit is 50mm for 68mm bottom bracket. It's OK because you'll use more often the smaller cogs so the chain will be on average working at a good angle. If you have 73mm bottom bracket, then it will be 50mm + 2.5mm = 52.5mm. It's a bit worse...

    can someone think of a reason as to why BJ hasn't sacked Jenrick, Patel, Williamson and now Hancock?

    Is this a silly theory? Torque arms and rear suspension...

    Of course, crank drive bikes don't need torque arms. there is another reason for installing torque arms on the motor wheel: to prevent the motor wheel coming off the bike. The heavy weight of the motor acts a bit like the head of a wood handle hammer. Inertia can make it fly off the handle. This...

    still, 110 people died of it in hospital last 7 days. Next week, that number is going to rise to 170, then 260 the following week and 400 the week after. About one third of the dead have been vaccinated. That's when BJ will have to decide to remove covid restrictions.
