    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have repeated a few times the reasons why half of the country voted for brexit. You don't like them, don't accept them but that does not make them any less important to those who voted to leave. People don't change their view because of politicians' lies, otherwise we'll be like Italy, one new...

    Do I Have The Correct Pedal Sensor?

    yes, it's the new design. The sensor shell has 3 small retaining clips, holding the magnet ring in place. Previously, the sensor, magnet ring and rubber washers are separate. Position the sensor over the square taper spindle then push it firmly in until its fins are keyed into the slots in the...

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    it's a molehill, TBH. the brexit thread is only important to the combattants who post on it. I admit I am one of them, am obsessed with brexit and I go on that thread several times a day because a) I like the subject and b) it's much smaller than MSM sites such as the BBC. Even the FT's thread...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there was no caveat on the voting paper nor on the government prospectus: your vote is only advisory. Parliament may act on it or take no notice. DC promised that his government will act on it, Labour promised to deliver brexit. Just cough up the money to prepare for no deal brexit and negotiate...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    in the brexit committee, 7 brexiters, 14 remainers. outside the brexit committee, remain MPs in Parliament are three times more numerous than leave MPs. In the brexit inner cabinet, 5 brexiters + 5 remainers +TM. It's no wonder that brexit voters feel it's a stitch-up and TM must go.

    Bottom Bearing Spindle Length

    you'll need a minimum 122mm spindle, best 125mm or 127mm to host a left side pedal sensor. The left crank is always prone to loosening because of the torsion through the spindle, so it needs to be really tightened, also a 1mm gap is desirable between the inner face of the crank and the pedal...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I like Matthew Parris. He is the kind of soft conservatives rare to find nowadays and which are at risk of quickly becoming extinct. Their voice is completely submerged by the Trumpist 'patriotic' conservatives'..

    it does stop after about 30 seconds or if you brake or turn down the throttle sharply, you have to pedal again about 1 second to re-activate the throttle.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    like a blue steak, we are going to get a medium to very soft brexit. There is no way Parliament is going to vote for a no deal brexit, even if TM manages to extend the transition to 2023. That will allow the next PM to lose all the stupid redlines. until a deal is done, there won't be any...

    when a company like google offers something for free, ask yourself the question: how do they make money out of it? the answer is usually 'you are the product'. I don't mind being the product but always set the privacy to maximum...

    that system is not twist and go, you have to pedal first.

    there is nothing wrong with this statement, they are not comparing the level of success. If TM delivers brexit, then they will be happy.

    the throttle can dwell on for a set time after you stop pedaling or brake.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    TM may seek to extend the transition to 2023. JRM commented on the news: "The risk of the Government using all its mental energy on the fallback position is that they create a position that is more attractive than a permanent deal." I could hear OG sniggering in the background: 'the man is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you can't - both labour and conservative parties promised to deliver brexit. To get out of brexit, a new GE is needed and someone brave (or suicidal) enough to say brexit isn't working.

    yes, I use Lishui controllers on the black bikes, they are programmed to activate only when you pedal. You can stop pedaling after the throttle takes over, the throttle stays active until you brake or reduce the throttle level quickly.
