I posted an "Agree" to it, that being my reply. I could have added that I thought that high taxation model works well, but I thought that self explanatory in your post. .

The reverse for me. When young I voted Conservative, but with age I gained more heart and embraced moderate Socialism. I don't want the extremes of either. .

There is much I agree with here, but I think you go too far and that is the basis of most of the disagreements here. Conservatism taken too far, Socialism taken too far, Capitalism taken too far. Unfettered none of them work well. A little moderation is sadly lacking. .

Of course not. But the world has changed and the UN exists in part to prevent those past primitive methods of claiming countries. Clearly it wasn't working well when it actually condoned one of those abuses due to US pressure. However your parallels are wildly inaccurate. Settlers moved into...

You're starting what I've been at, just entering my 27th year of voluntary work during retirement after retiring at 54. Similar to your intentions it's been mainly countryside related. I can add to that 28 years of part time voluntary work during my working life, but that was with people...

Carillion is one of the great British companies that were going to make the UK enormously successful once we are free of the EU. Well, that was the plan, but it seems to be falling apart at a rate of knots. .

I daresay that has had an effect, but it's probably as much to do with the nature of the UK market. It's not only small, there's a big bias to MTB bikes and the Dutch upright style doesn't sell well here. Giant whose Dutch style bikes sold well in The Netherlands suffered here in the same way...

All institutions practice selective dementia, it's sometimes necessary to get around the strict rules that exist in institutions when those rules impede their function. It follows that many individuals within institutions will from time to time abuse that leeway, the police indeed being one of...

I agree, even on the basic M-gear the build quality superb and many of the style and design features well above the norm in bicycle design. That made the early mishandling of the launch all the more sad, since there was so much else to desire about the bike. Spartas definitely come with pride...

Not quite as clear cut as that. As a trained nurse my sister went to the USA at age 20 to do her mental nursing training, where better than the land of the nut case. After a while she met her husband to be, they married and had four children, living first in New York State and later in...

This started with a botched launch of the Sparta Ion in the UK. When introduced in the Netherlands it had no gears and a 22 NM torque rating, ok in that flat country. But they then sent it over here and reviewers lambasted it since single speed and minimal torque would never cut it in Britain...

He might be more careful what he wishes for. Nearly 17% of Norway's population is of immigrants, including children of two immigrant parents. Not exactly what he desires. As for what Trump might or might not have said, he's a shithole anyway so should know one. .

Here you are Fordulike, the information and explanatory photos at each length on this link .

The odd thing is that a long time ago, well over a decade, many UK supermarkets did have free organic cornstarch plastic bags, but they were abandoned after a while. I've no idea why, the ones I got from Somerfield supermarket always seemed to last well in my experience. .

Very strange. If no luck with the new registration, try emailing Russell and Helen in website admin: webmaster@pedelecs.co.uk .

Hopefully it will be ok this time. .

Here's the official way of dealing with the wheel removal and replacement, originally posted by James at Sparta agents Just e-bikes: There is no need for anyone competent in cycle maintenance to visit a Sparta dealer to fix a puncture: Disconnect the power feed; Remove the wheel; mend the...

That's the one, hopefully it covers all bases. If not and you still get bothered, hover over your name again and choose in turn both "Preferences" and "Alert Preferences" on the left, then uncheck the email items as required. .

If you hover over your forum name at the top right, then choose Contact Details from the list on the left, then scroll down to Contact Details under the Settings heading, you'll get the option for mail or not. That should clear both, but if not, post back for another option. . .

The OP has a Sparta, their models from the Ion onwards have had what I'd call restrictive software, it being part of their own design direct drive rear hub motor. The same applies to their other brand, Koga, which uses the same motor. .
