    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's fighting talk. Of course David Lidington and Michel Barnier are both right, they haven't contradicted one another. we'll have a deal that says not much on FTA other than recognising that the UK is not like any other third country, which is in itself an understatement. there is still...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Jacob Rees-Mogg suggested that people at the Northern Ireland border crossing could be ‘inspected’ after Brexit just like it was done ‘during the troubles’. does he suggest we return to the old time?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    scallops in the Channel is a shared resource, so both sides (UK and France) usually agree how fishing for scallops in these waters is shared. French fishermen are subjected to local laws, limiting how much they can take (about 2 metric tons at a time, 3 times a week in season) to conserve stocks...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    back to brexit: the Pound regains 1% this afternoon, and still going up, after Mr Barnier said the EU was prepared to offer the UK a deal like "no other third country".

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    People do not understand how policies trickle down because the EU does not do direct rule. The limitation in the Baie de Seine takes into account not only conservation of stock but also of the level of neuro-toxins found in shellfish (domoic acid) along their littoral where pollution is a...

    What conversion kit

    hello Tigs, there are a lot of kits out there, some are integrated, some are not. Take a look by all means at the kits I sell, they are divided roughly into two groups: mid drive (also known as crank drive) kits that as the name implies, replace the bottom bracket and chain rings, drive the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it happened just 12 miles off the coast, in the Bay of the Seine. The English have the right to fish for scallops there while the French don't for another 5 weeks, until October 1st, hence the French consider the act as 'pillage'. BTW, fresh scallops from the boats are sold along the Normandy...

    it's a short sighted comment. Read Awol's posts about his bike.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I know about this frustration of French scallop fishermen very well. It's been going on for years and years. It's not just the fishermen that got enraged, Normans don't think much of English fishermen either. The French are much more sensitive about protecting marine resources than the English...

    Project: Carrera Kraken conversion with BBSHD

    we call them BMS but the Chinese tend to call them PCM or protection board. Their balancing circuit is passive, via bleed resistors Cells with highest voltage are bled until they reach the same voltage as the lowest cell. This function is activated at the end of the charging. The main function...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's only important as far as PR goes. The TPA between the EU and SACU countries is an asymmetric one, essentially designed to alleviate poverty. The EU allows those countries to export food, oil, aluminium at zero tariff to the EU (subject to quotas) but goods like cars, machinery still pay...

    What conversion kit

    OT, the TSDZ2 weighs 3.6kgs. A small battery, say 10S3P 36V 710AH battery would add 1.5kg to the kit. The whole thing costs rather a lot less than your C1 kit and a lot more capable in acceleration and hill climbing. It's neat and easy to fit too.

    Kit for Birdy?

    I would recommend a TSDZ2 kit. Its simple operation and wiring are good features in comparison to a front hub or a Bafang BBS.

    the deal TM made is not an important trade deal, but it brings home a sense of realty. She has to sweeten it, made them an offer so good that they couldn't refuse. It's still illegal under the current treaties.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    TM secured first trade deal with SA: "The prime minister confirmed that Britain would replicate a deal the EU currently has with six southern African nations" actually with SACU, Southern African customs union, replicating the current deal that SACU has with the EU. So we'll copy and paste...

    advice on BBSHD and alternatives to build a touring/hybrid bike

    The BBSHD is very capable but because it can pull a lot of power, the battery needs to be also capable, that means your budget will rise, then you need braking power and suspension to go with it. to make your project easier for us to understand where you are heading, post some pictures of your...
