    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Don't be stupidly offensive, you well know that I was commenting on the intended target of the policy, which was excellently fulfilled. I'm well aware of how ruthless and inhumane their policies are in many respects including the one child one, as I illustrated with another example of the coal...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As I posted, I also don't like the State of Israel, but I certainly don't dislike all Jewish people. Some are my relatives, I've both worked with and for Jewish people and had Jewish friends. My dislike of the Israeli State is for the corrupt way in which it was set up, the way in which has...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All completely true, but I still prefer what Labour will most likely offer. A short while ago I was listening to people on BBC Radio 4 saying they disliked Jeremy Corbyn, but then confirming they will be voting Labour. I'm not surprised by that since they are only saying they dislike Corbyn...

    Death of the derailleur?

    No I did not mean that, as I made clear in my reply. You really need to broaden your horizon beyond your limited view of what constitutes cycling. The great majority of the world's cycling seems outside of your ideas about it. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Social justice. Their attitude to Brexit is that it's for the public to decide, whether that be by another referendum or a General Election. I see those as far better than what the Tories offer, more wealth for wealthy people and further decline for everyone else. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is entirely due to the Jewish people themselves, or rather the extremist orthodox among them. They created a false definition of anti semitism which was unwisely accepted by the United Nations. It was false because it included criticism of Israel as being anti semitic, a clearly political...

    Nor do I, but that doesn't make me racist or anti semitic. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, population density will always be a problem. No matter how much we spend on education, the majority remain as dense as ever. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    China had excellent results. When the one child policy was introduced their rate of population increase was on course to take then to two billions at a frightening rate. The one child policy long held it to around 1.2 billions with even India threatening to overtake them. In fact they had to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, Labour are the expert fence sitters, aiming to collect as many from all opinions as they can in order to get elected. That will be the more exciting since none of us has much of a clue what they'll do apart from nationalising rail and water. How do they pay for that and other promised...

    Death of the derailleur?

    Not quite, note my words "almost always". That was to take into account that some will have steeper hills, perhaps with not so powerful motors. However, many always staying within assist speeds are likely to be utility cyclists who don't tackle severe hills. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So that's a dictatorship then, smart people with brains and ability taking control. You'll never get your above from democracy, especially a one vote per person first past the post system. .

    Death of the derailleur?

    For the very large numbers of pedelecers who only ride within the assist speed range, the SRAM Automatix with its two gears is almost always ideal. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There are no Jew issues, they are a fabrication, and if you weren't too young you'd know better from history. Post WW2 their appalling experience at the hands of the right wing Nazis meant all European Jews were solidly socialist and Labour voting. Israel when formed was equally solidly...

    In other words, fairly representing our population. All creeds, colours and sexual orientations, some very bright and some as thick as two short planks. Proving once again the maxim that we get the politicians we deserve. .

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    I think it could be more than a diversion. Scott and Co. have been playing with the company valuation for nearly a decade, long ago advertising it for sale, possibly to ascertain a value to borrow against. They've built up a long chain of debts to many previous suppliers, now escaping them...

    UK Law in regards to ebikes.

    If the Rad Rhino is 250 watts and 15.5 mph restricted and didn't permit power without pedalling, it wouldn't need L1e-A. The fact that they've sought that approval indicates to me that it has a throttle, permitting power without pedalling. With L1e-A approval that would make it allowed to...

    Kalkhoff retro fit possibilities?

    If the innards are stripped out and/or original motor not in use, bearings are no longer a problem since there's only the two pedalshaft bearings left in use which won't cause trouble with rider power only. .
