    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indyref2 is unlikely before 2030, if at all. Brexit has not happened yet. The SNP needs to wait until the people of Scotland is convinced that they'll be better off being a small independent country with not much industry to speak of.

    Narrowed the choice down to 3 - any advice welcomed

    the Faro is a very good bike and not showy. I ride one myself for more than a year now. The whole bike weighs 17kgs with mudguards,bell and lights. The brakes are hydraulic. The rear geared hub motor is an Aikema 13.0 weighing just 1.9kg and with the battery inside the frame, the weight is so...

    to be fair, manufacturers give plenty of sensible information on how to make the most of their products. The capacity that you see advertised are real, the danger zone is above 4.2V and below 3V for Lithium ion batteries, beyond the recommended operating zone and the advertised capacity excludes...

    I can't see that happen. The Civil Service is staffed but much more capable brains than the whole of the tory party put together.

    Battery cells

    just bad ones. you have 40-50 cells in an e-bike battery, each has 2 welded tabs. Even a single weld tab failure can stop the whole battery. Big brands like Panasonic, Samsung and Sony got there through production volume (they are the largest manufacturers) but also in quality control...

    Riese & Müller Blue Label Pony Valuation?

    I think you would get about £1000-£1200 for your R&M Blue Label Pony. That bike is exceptional, you shouldn't have much trouble selling it.

    he was found inside a barbershop. I found his explanation of needing a haircut at that time a bit unconvincing.

    How to restrict a 1700w bike

    very easy but keep in mind that you need to check a few things: - same rim size - if the old wheel has internal speed sensor, the new wheel needs that too - if the old wheels have Hall sensors, the new wheel needs that too - the 250W wheel needs to be geared type for hill climbing at low speed...

    that's a honorific title and he still is. It's not as if he is a deserter in time of war. Until the Queen sorts out a new role for him, I can't see any justification for attacks from the likes of Piers Morgan.

    duty? what do you actually expect for your £1.37 a year contribution to the royal family grant? Harry and especially Meghan are more employable, have camera friendly faces and more charisma than William and Kate. They are about the only members of that family that can prosper on their own. Take...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    well I disagree with you on this. I don't think Harry and Meghan set out to preach to anyone on carbon footprint. If that comment had come from a politician or any HRH, no body would pay any attention but our printed press like the Sun and the Daily Mirror would try to build a case against...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree that they probably think that it's a trendy thing to do and say a few good words on carbon footprint, but they don't claim to be eco-warriors themselves. We all do recycling when we put the bins out, or carry a plastic bag when going to the supermarket and still fly somewhere once or...

    of course not, like my wife and me, they usually go walking on their holidays. I don't know how many miles Harry and Meghan fly a year but I separate their message from their travels.

    my children think the same, 2 kids - that's it. Also my wife did same. We all are concerned about our carbon footprint, it's just the sign of the time. I don't call them that though.
