    Brexit, for once some facts.

    he can claim a lot of expenses. Just look at what Farage has claimed, about £200k a year. if he wins a seat, on UK leaving, he may get another £200k worth of golden parachute and a life pension.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I thought we were talking about our MPs. I wouldn't worry about your TR. I am sure he can pay back as much as anyone can expect and some more.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's your money, I am sure you have good reasons for giving TR some of it although I can't see that he deserves it. There are plenty of worthy causes like water aid that I support.

    you can't change gear until you start moving? that is not quite true. Certainly not for derailleur gears. Hub gears tend stick under load, so forcing it to shift is very unkind to the bike. For derailleur gear, if your chain is under tension, it will make a bit of noise when engaging a larger...

    the amount of heat generated by the motor is the difference between the energy supplied by the battery (input) and the mechanical energy that the motor sends to the chain (output). We call the ratio output/input the motor yield. It's zero when the motor stalls, 100% of the input energy will turn...

    who tries to discredit him? give examples if you like. TR is a more physical and rougher version of Steve Bannon. They see many opportunities in exploiting anger. it's that simple.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think he does not want to talk about brexit because we tend to go over the subject in minutiae. TR is a good diversion, he is supposed to campaign for brexit but actually, he campaigns for himself, atlanticism and people's rebellion. Take the bit of filming in front of the Court House. That...

    let's compare the two tactics when riding up a 10% hill: speed 10mph, 144 RPM at the wheels, power required: 500W first tactic, go up a 10% hill in 7th gear (13T), pedal hard help the bike, you would pedal at 42RPM second tactic: leave the bike in 1st gear (28T) and ride on throttle, the...

    Kit that works with display removed or switched off?

    simplicity is not cheap. You will need a torque sensor to control the power delivery. This bike does not have an LCD: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/2019/karoo/karoo2.jpg You can buy a kit that does the same but the torque sensor kit with 13AH battery costs about £499-£549 depending on motorwheel and...

    Poorly Bafang CST 180mm: trouble disassembling (some screws not budging)

    I use a press or a clamp to hold this screwdriver in place. vfr400 has already made this point, you have to use the right tip, otherwise you will damage the bolt head. I use vanadium chrome posidriv tips for motor repairs.

    Should I avoid "in frame' Batteries?

    batteries are now filled with silicon, making replacement of a single cell economically non viable. All batteries have the same problem with replacement, their manufacturers don't make the same casings forever. You pay a large premium for some brands but the manufacturing cost of a battery...

    Slight issue with my Rio MTB. Speed not displaying

    the speed sensor is inside the lid of the motor. Please email support@wooshbikes.co.uk - andy will sort it for you. If you want to do that yourself, you can. The lid is held in place with 6 x M5 bolts. After removing the bolts, tap on the side to rotate the lid about 10mm and use a flat blade...

    if you cannot see that there is a threat in that message then you cannot see the wood for the trees. Suggesting to the receiver that he/she lacks a sense of humour after making the post is not even an excuse. People who want to run for public office must be whiter than white as far as respect...

    on the contrary. I reckon most of them would breathe a sigh of relief that brexit does not cost them much, their holiday home and plan for retirement to Spain are still safe.

    it seems to me that vfr400 tries to convince himself that his candidate TR has a chance if people like Carl Benjamin do as well. Candidates who flout the law on anti discrimination should be arrested.
