to be perfectly accurate, a stiffer frame does not absorb less energy. Energy is absorbed by damping, not flex. A stiffer frame may or may not help the cyclist.

no, soft brexit will be a wake up call. Time to get up and go work in the fields.

exactly. That's why hard brexit is very damaging. Remain is a death spiral, made worse without the discount. that's why I like soft brexit.

over 95% of businesses in the UK belong to this category (fewer than 10 employees), so you should understand their motivation. http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN06152/SN06152.pdf • In 2017, there were 5.7 million businesses in the UK. • Over 99% of businesses are Small...

in my younger years maybe. At a time, I employed a lot of people, in my thirties, not now. If you have a good idea and are capable of producing a good product, I bet that is a nichy product. Anything with a large untapped potential can't be safely done by small businesses employing a dozen...

fantastic! you can now enrol as Woosh local helper!

you can see the red handles of the pads on one of the pictures you took: wiggle each handle with a finger. Can you see the gap between the pad and the rotor? if you can, check that the gap between the inner pad and the rotor is about 1mm, the gap between the outer pad and the rotor about 1.5mm.

I'll have to do a new manual then! Just in case you want to remove the motor wheel: 1. undo motor cable 2. undo the two torque arm bolts 3. undo wheel nuts 4. drop the wheel 5. If you suffer from short term memory loss like me, put rubber bands around the washers to keep them on the motor...

there are plenty of opportunities to add innovation when you sell your products and prosper. For example, I can easily create an Android app to control an Arduino built into some Chinese mass produced controllers that shall remain nameless. What is my chance to make it in the SM context? nil...

I much prefer the Nexus 3-speed hub gears for 20" folding bike but it adds $30 to manufacturing cost - a lot for this segment of the market where cost is king.

WTO protects small businesses with trade barriers, SM is perfect for large businesses. If you make for example a small series of CF bikes, you can buy more cheaply under WTO, take advantage of being local supplier to your country to market your small production more effectively, are less exposed...

WTO is easier regime for small manufacturing firms, a small fish in a small pond has less chance to be eaten. The EU has the size of the Barrier Reef.

it's easier to try under WTO compared to the SM.

it's not so much that we can't invest, the real problem is volume. We gave up exporting goods many years ago, it will take a lot of effort to build up volume.

about an inch, inch and a half.

it does, but they keep us guessing how much the anti dumping duty is since January this year. The tactic is enough to drive many off buying from China. I can't hire assemblers before I know what the new level of import duty is.

easy: leavers won last time. Until the next referendum, the will of the people is what Moggy says it is because the Express, the Sun, the Mail and the Telegraph all agree with Moggy and they are 'the people'.

the EU will slap anti-dumping duty on Chinese ebikes on the 20-July or the following week. The suggested amount is 149%. Nobody can continue importing ebikes from China with this kind of trade war weapons.

Steve, you don't have to remove the wheel for this. The most you have to do is to remove the two M5 bolts to remove the caliper. Try cleaning the rotor with alcohol first. If it does not work, email support@wooshbikes.co.uk

you can replace it with any good 26" suspension fork, 60mm or 75mm travel with 1" threaded steerer and disc mount. The main problem is you need the threaded steerer. If you find something you like, post the link here, I'll check it for you.
