    Brexit, for once some facts.

    tories and labour are currently neck and neck. Don't forget that Labour controls nearly twice as many councils as the tories. Both parties benefit from the lack of progress on brexit. As soon as a brexit deal is done, or interest rate rises, voters may favour labour because of the austerity...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    nobody seems to shed a tear for UKIP. They have lost almost all of their councillors, only 2 left holding to the flag. I wonder what Mr Farage is going to say. He certainly knew that when he went to see DT for a new job. Maybe it's time to give him a seat in the HoL.

    Test Q128C before building into wheel?

    I don't know if they test everything they send out. I reckon it's more an anti-anxiety device. I once ordered some battery shrink wrap tubing from them, it was put on test for 2 weeks until I hassled then a bit.

    Test Q128C before building into wheel?

    it''s just a step to avoid customer's anxiety. I never had a DOA motor, so don't worry about that.

    Anyone looking for a bargain Bosch powered mtb?

    he hopes he can get near the asking price which is £1,399.

    No LCD is supposed to avoid the bike being vandalised in London. I am thinking of a version fitted a single speed belt drive like on the GTech. The motor is ahem.. an Aikema.

    seriously, what do you think of the revised Karoo 2018 that I have on order? The battery is inside the downtube (36V 8AH), no LCD, just on/off switch, hydraulic brakes front and rear, 8-speed.

    that's a lovely frame! I am not sure my average customers have the legs good enough to show next to that frame though. Here is the whole bike:

    Replacement batterys (suppliers?)

    Batteries with Samsung cells cost a lot more than with Chinese cells. Beside the cost of the components, you also pay for guarantee and customer service.

    let's see: the average age of my customers is around 65. I can see the new Wisper Wolverine there though, next to the Pinarello Nytro and Cube Ageree.

    the 11kg hardtail MTB Boardman hardtail Pro may also be worth a look.

    The Last Wisper Sneak Preview of the year. 12kg Road Bike

    the motor + gearbox weigh about the same (2.8KGs for the E8000), only the 500WH battery (2.65kgs) is heavier. The Fazua gearbox: 1.31Kgs, motor 1.91kgs, battery 1.38kgs, total: 4.6kgs against 5.4kgs for the Steps E8000, 800g more but twice the battery capacity. Size-wise, the Shimano battery is...

    they are nice bikes to work on. Perfect donors for a rear geared hub with cassette.

    Chain coming off?

    it can be derailleur cable needs adjusting, derailleur limiting screws need adjusting, chain tension needs increasing, worn chain, worn derailleur. You have to start by eliminating a few possible causes.

    The Last Wisper Sneak Preview of the year. 12kg Road Bike

    the Fazua hasn't got the torque of the Shimano E8000 Steps on the other Wisper E-MTBs. BTW, David, would you have the e-mtbs in time to beat anti-dumping registration?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    At least they all have something in common: remainers don't want any deal because they'd rather reverse brexit, leavers don't want any deal either because they say a deal is not equal to leaving. TM is the only one who needs or wants a deal to keep the show on the road.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43967903 it seems to me that could well be the moment that TM shows JRM some teeth. The 30-page letter they come out with clearly shows that they are not interested in doing a deal with the EU.
