    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can agree with that. I could not understand why Corbyn wanted an election before Jan 31st. Maybe he was pressured by Unite's boss.

    that's to be expected and manufacturing is going to be hit until we join one of the blocs.

    not right away and not this week but 5 years is a long time.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    lots of people are and still appreciate why we must remain in the bloc. In a way, call for another referendum is the best way for the LibDems and Labour to regain voters at the next GE.

    Woosh Brompton Kit?

    not yet. The motorwheels are still stuck in Shanghai, the last container leaving China before Christmas was too full, so the 16" motorwheels were not loaded. Now they are still stuck in China with the corona virus lockdown. The only information I can give at the moment is that the kit with 36V...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they should outlaw the resale of fishing quotas. If left to fishermen to police themselves, the technology to catch them is so cheap compared to the price the fish fetch, there won't be any fish left within a generation.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's more of a mourning for Labour with RLB set to replace JC. Brexit is a problem for the conservative party, no other party supports it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    many of us would have died before seeing a Labour government. I watch Marr and O Neil interviewing McCluskey and thought to myself: Labour is doomed until that dinosaur dies.

    Folding eMTBs

    don't take me wrong, I like Bromptons and I am making a kit for it but I wouldn't choose the Brompton to go any distance unless I have to. The main thing about Bromptons is that you can carry its 12kgs-13kgs with one hand. After you add the motor and even if you carry the battery in the other...

    the onus is on the buyer to comply with the rules. Goods bound for NI will be partially inspected by the ROI. BJ can say that we won't add to that.

    Folding eMTBs

    Brompton wheels are very well built but high load/weight needs large wheels and tyres.

    if we don't want to stop contraband coming to the UK via Belfast then there is nothing Mr Barnier can do.

    Folding eMTBs

    140kgs is in the Big Bear territory. Rear motorwheels need dishing, that is the drive side spokes are shorter than the non drive side, causing the load on the rim unevenly distributed. That's why spokes break more often on rear motorwheels than on front motorwheels. On top of this issue...

    battery for charging ebike batteries

    I have a dozen generators (mostly 1kw, 1.5kw and 2kw) - brand new, still in original cartons, that I can let go for about half street prices (£100 for 1kw + £15 for courier). They run on petrol, 4-stroke engine, very low noise, 3 UK output sockets for 220V sinewave. Perfect to charge your...

    EBike curious; but am i too ambitious!?

    if you stay legal, you wouldn't need to charge at work. I would suggest an XF08C kit with 17.5AH battery: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/product/uid-177-xf08c-17ah/xf08c-rear-hub-kit-with-17ah-battery

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    a lot of companies that provided testing facilities (then) spread the fear of heavy fines (£2000 per product without CE stickers!) to encourage assemblers like ourselves to pay them for the test. Then there was the EMC directive, same rollercoaster, then the WEE directive, the rohs directive...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    true enough but look at the positive side, we won't be introducing new laws on goods, environment, agriculture and consumers as much as we have been over the last 45 years because the conservative MPs are too busy with immigration, trade unions, law and order issues. I still remember when the CE...

    they have chain tensioners on the left and right of the chainring. the one above the chainring is for the benefit of the motor. Yours is shared between motor and chainring, Plus, their top chain tensioner has a retainer to keep the chain away from the ring.
