from memory, the GSM and Bafang BBS01 have a spindle about 12mm in diameter, the Tongsheng spindle is about 10mm in diameter, it looks more fragile in any case in comparison. The other difference is that the Tongsheng spins at 4,000 RPM max, the GSM and BBS01 spins at 2000RPM. That's why I am...

why? is there a better deal to be had?

the plastic in the blue transfer gear is there to give a degree of stress absorption. You can buy replacement part on ebay and it's easy to refit. There are metal versions but you would move the stress to the motor spindle. The rest of the gearbox is made of steel.

why? it's the same withdrawal deal that any UK PM will have to agree to, the EU may give a little ground to sweeten it but there won't be any change on the money or backstop.

His brexit plan: a very soft brexit, remain in the SM and CU. He only needs the EU to yield a bit to his plan for state aids. I don't see problems with that, state aid is not a particularly difficult subject for the EU within the SM. The withdrawal deal remains as it is. How he can sweep into...

JC keeps his his parachute until the last minute.

Corbyn's tactic:

are you talking about MPs or voters? there is a difference. Back at the time of the last GE, the polls suggested that the majority was still 52/48 for leaving. It's only in the last 12 months that remainers started reversing the poll which is now at 54/46 for remain. Labour remainer MPs have to...

it's because the LibDems are hopeless at winning any significant number of seats . only Labour can reverse brexit or stop a no deal brexit. I don't think JC is a closet brexiter, He is pragmatic, he knows he still has a long way to get to No 10 which is more important than brexit.

why don't we accept that some global problems like refugees and economic migrants don't have yet a satisfactory solution? These are short term issues where we still have wars, famine and disregard for human rights. If you fast-forward a few generations, it will be inconceivable that people won't...

CD motors are optimised for 90 RPM, at 60 RPM, the maximum output of a Bosch CX or Yamaha PW-X is roughly about 70%-75% of their best. Also, he is limited by the available gearing 10kph on 27.5" tyres = 10,000 /(2.15*60) = 78RPM at the wheels, 60 RPM at the chainring: gearing 1.3 front to rear...

if you can choose which brexit, would you not be tempted to think long term?

His safe gradient on Bosch CX or Yamaha PW-X kits is 10% @ 10kph. Online calculator here: http://www.kreuzotter.de/english/espeed.htm total weight: 85kgs + 25kgs total power: 300W (= 75W his + 3* 75W from motor) gradient: 10% speed: 10.3kph

I assume they have mobile phones. Did they call anyone to come to their rescue?

people smuggling has gone on for ages, migrants don't need to be rescued and run the risk of being deported. If anything, these people make a lot of us think again about how to deal with man made disasters: wars, famine and disregard for human rights.

I think they know that and don't expect to be picked up.

so true. there are much larger battles than brexit.

we'll have to pay half of that within the next 10 years even if we do not have a transition arrangement. At the moment, brexit seems to go onto a 'we are in Europe but not Europeans!' bend.

Not a particularly high mountain. Italy: 2.3 trillion Euros France: 2.25 Trl Germany: 2.07 Trl UK: 2.01 Trl Spain 1.16 Trl Our level of debts is higher than the Eurozone average.

this time is different. The EU is an empire built on consensus, not military might.
