    Read quite a few articles including the one below and 170-175 mm cranks are really only the "standard" because of manufacturers, not any real benefit in performance: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/the-benefits-of-reducing-your-crank-length/ To summarize, athletes are free to select a crank...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's trickle down economics! They (rich business owners) create the jobs, they cash in and pay their taxes in tax havens! Please tell Margaret Thatcher it is working the next time you bump into her.

    Have you tried Spanish Mexcla? Can be all three milks. I am not a fan, I find it too rich and a little sickening.

    "Listen you can buy this lovely pedelec, but don't you go riding it in the street now!" - the NI way of fighting climate change. What? You vote DUP(e) and you don't believe in climate change?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There you go! Blaming the Greeks again! Typical Italian :rolleyes: Your assumption is correct - I am very picky about my cheese, I like to know who made it and there is Greek feta and Greek "feta" if you get my drift... Needles to say I only eat the former :D

    White!

    They walk around like that here in the middle of December/January, makes the northern folk easy to spot. Last year we went to the Rioja for the weekend in January - beautiful blue sky, not a cloud, snow capped hills, crispy 10°C. Saturday nigh out for tapas and all the locals were shirt and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Actually it is sheep's milk cheese preserved in brine made from a certain species of Greek sheep that eat certain plants in two specific areas of Greece... I eat several very different sheep milk cheeses, one of which is Roquefort, another AOP. I understand the farmer taking the easy way out...

    Mishappened tyre !!!

    I think there are so many made that QC done by taking random samples from a batch will always let a bad tyre through. When I was looking after my kids bikes EVERY no name Chinese tyre failed in one way or another within the first year. That prompted me to start buying brand name tyres. I have 5...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What are you on about? Where in the theory of trickle down economics is there mention of free money? Letting very rich people take more than their due was supposed to create jobs. Those jobs were supposed to have real wages...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When did companies stop ethical behaviour? When did one percent of people start deserving more money than they are worth? Since when has "free trade" been free?
