    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I much prefer JC to come out in support of joining the EEA (Norway model) as soon as possible. That will clear the way for a decisive battle between JRM and his band of merrymen and Parliament.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    real politik. The EU needs the UK a lot more than most of its other members, with the exception of the core 6.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    BJ and the ERG try to burn as many bridges with the EU as possible. That is classical slash and burn retreat battle tactic. If you extrapolate the result of the last local elections, the conservatives are going to lose power at the next GE and we'll get a coalition government which will extend...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know why you think Labour has not won the local elections last Thursday. if there were a GE tomorrow, Labour would be the largest party and JC will be PM.

    there may not enough space inside the triangle to fit the Hailong battery. You need at least 20mm above and in front of the battery to take it out, and 50mm from the bottom bracket to avoid the chainrings. The dimensions of the HL battery are 310mm (L) x 92mm (H) x 100mm (W). This Muddyfox has...

    Wheelchair trike conversion

    if speed is not your priority, then you don't need more than 30-40NM torque for the wheelchair. You can get it with an SWX motor, or better, Aikema 100SX. it's not only lightweight, it's also cheap to run.

    whom are you talking about? I am working in our shop in Southend today, the weather is absolutely stunning. Will go out for a ride along the seafront later.

    Wheelchair trike conversion

    "unless anyone knows of any reason it wouldn't be." you should take into account how fast can you go round a corner at present. Your wheelchair cannot tilt like a proper trike. The original kit has a gentle start speed for that very good reason.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mr Bannerman is an MEP, he has not any position in government, does not vote in our HoC and very soon, won't have a job. Why would his opinion matter more than mine? The UK will have to find its way after brexit. Would it be free for all, no protection for industry, agriculture, fishery, labour...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Are you not splitting hair here? In the current climate, TM can only offer a binary choice, hard brexit as backstop while hoping for a soft brexit. If I could hazard a guess, the EU wants it too.

    £1,200 for a full sus e-bike? your budget is quite limited TBH. I'd go for a hardtail and a good suspension post, something like this Orbea MX26 from Tredz for £429, add to it an XF08C kit for £499. https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Orbea-MX-26-XC-Mountain-Bike-2018-Hardtail-MTB_109814.htm...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    any deal must include a solution for the Irish border, there won't be a need for a backstop. In case of no deal brexit, the proposed sea port checks will allow FOM within the isle of Ireland, better than a hard border. There may be a case for NI to run a second referendum on the backstop...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The backstop position in the Irish border issue must assume the worst case scenario: no deal brexit. Additional sea port checks are the easiest and most cost effective solution.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it was owned by German government well before Germany joined the EU and never privatised. It's not the same as JC's plan to buy the rail franchises when they come to renewals. Although it is technically possible for a socialist government to renationalise water, energy, phone, post, rail etc...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that's roughly the share of UKIP votes. They lost around 10% in voting share this time, it's not difficult to think that 6% of the 10% went to the conservatives and 4% went to Labour. The main issue is the dirty tactics on both sides, the Tories whipped up Labour anti semitism and Labour whipped...

    Electric bike race

    we can fit a normal LCD and throttle but think of it as an SRAM automatix but electronic. The benefit is you take take out the trunking cable and it still works well. The next step is to make a belt drive version like the Gtech.
