    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, I am not surprised. I can't see the point of a second referendum for a couple of years. However, there is a good chance that the margin opens sufficiently by then. A few things may happen from now to then to help remain: the EU changes their policy on freedom of movement, the Schengen zone...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    reaction of the currency market to the ERG's plan: The Pound dropped from $1.3030 to $1.30 or 0.24% on revelation of their plan, the city spent an hour to go over it, then simply dismissed it as nothing new and their threat to remove TM as unrealistic. The Pound not only recovered in the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A second referendum will be advisory like the last one, parliament will still be the decider, so a government with sufficient majority won't need a new referendum unless they want to renege on a key manifesto promise. For both major parties, that would be to cancel brexit even if they throw in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BTW, if anyone thinks that we can be outside the EU and enjoys access to the Single Market like Norway if we join the EEA, this example will make you think again. Yes, you get access but it's not frictionless. Any parcel to Norway needs a compulsory customs declaration. I sent a small 10kgs...

    that is technically correct but leave campaigners did make a lot of promises without the caveats. Examples include the £350 millions a week on the red bus (while not mentioning the rebate), access to the single market (while not mentioning that the key feature of frictionless trade is not...

    I am a little surprised that nobody has mentioned this fabulous picture of the hard men of brexit: QUOTE: Boris, Rees-Mogg and Bone are the Boggis, Bunce and Bean of Brexit, apparently as defeated in their cunning scheme as the characters in the Roald Dahl tale: all that’s missing is the...

    there are cases like with STI levers where it's difficult or unsightly to fit sensors to the brakes.

    it's 7-speed 13T-34T, 44T chainring. It has a full size chainguard, you can change the chainring to 52T if you need more gear of change the freewheel to a DNP-7 11T-28T or do both, it has the torque to support it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/153140074574?chn=ps.

    Braking motor cut

    sorry, I ramble on technical bits like a warm blanket.. Let's say you want to reduce speed by relaxing your pedaling effort and braking lightly, for example, while performing a tight turn. You may want to control the speed by varying the pressure on the brakes. It's no problem for the bikes with...

    JRM and BJ make no secret about their lack of interest in the NI peace process. As they don't care to control the flow of goods from ROI to NI, it's the responsibility of the ROI to control the flow of goods from NI to the ROI. They maintain all a long, 'you control if you want to, the ERG is...

    practical step-through

    the best value step through at the moment is the Santana3. It has a faster version of the SWX02. I was a bit affected by d8veh's comment that the Oxygen is faster than the Rio MTB, although both have the same winding code 12, but because of wheel size 650B of the Oxygen is slightly larger than...

    practical step-through

    Thanks for pointing that out. I have now amended the web page. The range of the Rio LS for 13AH battery is 25-45 miles depending on tyre pressure and terrain. If you inflate the tyres at 15 psi for rocky tracks, you'll get far fewer miles than 35 psi on tarmac'ed roads.

    Braking motor cut

    the difference is between someone pedaling more slowly because he hits a hill and someone reducing his speed. The torque sensor can tell but the cadence sensor can't, or at least does not have the programming to detect the difference. There is a new cadence driven controller with a 6-axis gyro...

    His model will lead to extinction of UK manufacturing and food producing. He (Patrick Minford) knows that and as 85%+ of our economy is service, he does not see the point of producing anything uncompetitively ourselves. If we don't charge tariff on import of food for example from New Zealand, we...

    Braking motor cut

    they are incorrect. The cadence sensor can only stop the motor when you stop pedaling. That can be a second or two after you brake.

    Braking motor cut

    they use the torque sensor, you automatically stop pushing on the pedals when you brake. Bikes with cadence sensor don't sense pedal pressure, so they need another signal.
