    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the general assumption is 1 in 5 people is naturally immune to COVID19. That has been factored into various models.

    the logical thing to do is to extend the transition another year but what would the tory faithfuls think?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    someone has to take the lead and make decisions. Sometimes things don't work out as well as hoped. Just don't say 'world beating'.

    Nobody deserves to die in that manner - leave alone for a $20 bank note. Why do you want to explain what the cops did? they will have their day in Court then we'll know how the US deals with excessive brutality.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you can't really remove crimes and punishments from humans. If society becomes more virtuous, law and order will simply move the goalpost - did I read somewhere that you could be transported to Australia for stealing some food?

    I wonder if Alok Sharma has COVID, would the whole cabinet have to go on 14 days isolation?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's about time that accidental deaths like George Floyd's should be stopped. It's all about how much force can be legally used in arrest when the suspects are already handcuffed. Floyd could have been simply chained to the squad car until he cooled off. The lack of legal clarity allows officers...

    Apparent lack of power to hub motor

    the hexagon nuts behind the anti rotation tab washer are called the cone and jam nuts. They need to be tightened against one another so they do not rotate when you tighten the wheel nuts. If the jam nut is loosened, it can turn and in turn, allow the cone nut to turn, which then puts pressure on...

    it's like one of those customers surveys '80% of surveyed people agreed that their skin feels softer after using X soap'.

    agreed. On balance of probabilities, I reckon it's brake binding.

    Apparent lack of power to hub motor

    from memory, only two washers on each side. The tabbed anti-rotation on the inside of the jaw, a thinner washer on the outside of the jaw. They look OK on the pictures. That's why I thought he may have brake binding. We'll know tomorrow when the OP checks his brake pads. Another possibility is...

    Rent an E-Bike for £40 a month

    be careful with it though, it's not street legal without a number plate, VED, insurance and you wearing a helmet. The law allows only 250W e-bikes with 15mph assisted speed. A heavy 1500W bike is not one that you can legally ride on cycle tracks.

    Apparent lack of power to hub motor

    check first that the brake pads don't touch the rotor. Use a torch to look into the space between the brake pads, If one of the pads touches the rotor, you need to loosen the two M5 bolts holding the caliper and adjust the caliper so that the rotor runs true in the middle between the two pads.
