Won't do anything to stop the thefts of expensive bikes for all the other bike parts, everything except the frame. Not far from me there's a bike frame that's long been locked to a pavement bike stand. Just the frame, everything else gone, even the forks. .

Indeed, the only country affected to any large degree by the loss of all UK trade is Germany, and they've already made it clear long ago that they can afford that. Since they lost the identical 7% of business in the 2008 financial crisis but sailed through that without any problem, they've...

Kids especially, like the little girl at the front of this photo:

It won't bring down theft, it will merely mean thefts will be better catalogued and quantified. .

That's the point, it was incorrect from the beginning, inviting misunderstanding as reflecting status. Since the addition was simply to reflect the greater area due to the addition of Scotland to the union, the correct new title should have been Greater Britain, as in Greater London for...

The best solution has long been getting rid of the Irish political connection, thus doing away with the peculiarity of the United Kingdom, leaving the rest back as Great Britain If the Scots then vote for independence eventually that will get rid of the always incorrect Great, leaving us back...

I think she was wearing a helmet, they'd no doubt have made capital out of her not wearing one. The article says her only physical injuries were to a shoulder and leg, so the brain injury probably through a helmet contact with the other cyclist she hit, bruising the brain inside the skull...

My reference to being Irish was in respect of her interest in Irish affairs, as shown above. My lack of understanding why her electorate re-elect her isn't connected with that but with her performance and poor judgement in London affairs. Apart from other criticisms of her eccentric views...

She's Irish of course. Never understood why the Vauxhall electorate keep voting her back in. .

The photo of the blue one is clearer and seems to show only one chainstay, the shaft being the right hand one. That's common practice on shaft drive bikes as their folding models show: Beixo e-slim Beixo Electra .

I don't think that follows, the great majority of Tory MPs are remainers at heart and a new decisive vote to remain would be all they needed to reverse article 50. Their party membership couldn't complain, they were the ones insisting the will of the people should be paramount. .

They do indeed, and it's not just a flash in the pan. It's been consistent over the whole 12 years of this forum's life and has set a standard for other firms to live up to. .

Supports what I've been saying for a long time now, that a second chance to vote would result in a very large and clear Remain win, settling the issue permanently. That is obviously the best option now, continuing as we are with a dangerously divided country with everyone on both sides...

The villains would enjoy puncturing them with air rifles! .

A couple of photos to illustrate my earlier post. The top one is the Kalkhoff Agattu F with the front wheel motor but mid controller and torque housing with battery mounting. So looking like the Agattu C mid (centre) motor bike in the second photo, but note the low chain line due to the...

The discontinued SPARC wasn't a two speed system, it simply had two drill-like motors driving together. It was a failure. Their much later two speed automatic hub motor system you can see on this link .

There are two already with two speed gearing, from SRAM and Xionda. They have two orbital gears and work by reversing motor direction to engage the freewheels of one or the other. Both are wide though, the SRAM only being single rider chain sprocket in consequence. Three speed isn't really...

There was one exception here and still is in Japan. Panasonic make mid drives and front and rear hub motors. One of the front hub motor variants had the mid drive's controller and pedalshaft torque sensor in a reduced size bottom bracket alloy housing, so it was possible to choose the motor...

It died between 1979 and the present and only exists now in memory and imagination. .

I was speaking of product from Bosch, not Bosch as a supplier. There is no Impulse motor, that's just a marketing name. They are Daum motors and I include them in my comments on overpriced poor products from Germany. Hence this comment in my post about Bosch: "They aren't alone in this in...
