Actually Shimano beat NuVinci to it. Their first auto shifting gear was a three speed long before the NuVinci launch, used on some utility bikes and highly praised. They later followed with an auto shifting 8 speed hub and more recently auto shifting derailleurs at scary prices. Another...

The Express is a bit late with this, it was first anounced months ago and was inevitable if we leave without a trade deal. .

I refuse to acknowledge any of these days so no problem for me. They are blatantly commercially inspired and promoted. They'd try brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles days if they thought it would pay. Not to mention pets day. .

I've long favoured a wide range 5 speed for e-bikes, so it's good to see a new 5 speed hub. The SRAM P5, tough though it was, had ridiculously slow down shifting. Just a pity it's only automatic at present but hopefuly we'll get a manual version later to increase sales. .

These are the trouble, pedestrian deaths are not categorised to type. As for the crushing, the majority of cyclist deaths can be by that cause. In London with between 9 and 13 deaths in recent years very few have been due to head injury. One year all 9 were by crushing and this is why some...

No problem John, there's lots to take in on the e-bike scene, probably too much for any of us! Just noticed I didn't reply to the compulsory insurance query. The European Commission wants to introduce it but has no authority to do so and it's certain the main cycling countries like The...

Not quite. The European Bike Manufacturers Association (EBMA) has filed a Dumping complaint with the EU who are bringing in anti-dumping levies to raise Chinese e-bike prices. In truth this is just blatant protectionism. There's a 20 page thread in here on the subject on this link Jump to the...

The danger is if there's a row of them passing. The gentle rocking from side to side could make you nod off. :D .

Good timing on JC's part with these critical votes coming up. The conundrum now is whether the Tory Remainers will see this as a point of focus to rebel around, or whether politics will win and it strengthens their anti Corbyn-Labour feelings. .

It's certainly been going on though, we've often commented on the deliberate greatly understated customs certificate values of items we buy from China. Someone remarked that it cuts the shipping insurance costs as well as duties, but I've no idea how true that is. I'm quite sure the Chinese...

He appears to be trying to convince that the EU ensures anti-dumping measures aren't used to stifle competition. I wonder if he knows the old adage, "If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and looks like a duck", it probably is a duck. .

The normal way to deal with a controller problem is to replace it, since they are not very expensive. I can't see why the Gazelle service centre won't do that if you are paying for the repair, since it is indeed a Gazelle Innergy, just sold under the Orbea Spanish company's name. .

But the need for Labour to have a lead that big will lessen as time passes if Brexit disillusion increases. Whether they like it or not, the Tories will get any blame. From calling the referendum through BJ's deceitful campaign and May's "Brexit means Brexit" to the troubled negotiations...

That's exactly what I've been saying, as people get more sick of the subject they'll naturally lean towards Remain since that's the status quo that could make it go away. .

Maybe on a tasteful plinth, with flowers? :) .

TM has nailed her colours to the mast and can't easily change from "Brexit means Brexit" now. JC is probably being canny in not making his view too clear, knowing the weight of Brexit support among Labour voters. But I agree that the 4% vote margin to leave the EU may no longer exist. I'm...

How many times must I post that this is not true. A huge proportion of the old know only too well how the UK was failing before we joined the Common Market and are firmly Remainers as a result. This thread has a number of us. One only had to follow the TV images of the Brexit win...

Thank you for making it clear that you are only looking for an argument. .

Absolutely. .
